Analyzing the end-game situations with your NCAA picks

If you bet college basketball much, then you know all about the difficulty associated with the end of the game. You need free throws or maybe you don’t. You need overtime, but maybe you don’t. Things are tricky and the game can shift on the basis of a few points here or there. So how do you analyze end-game situations when you are making your college basketball picks at the beginning? There has to be some way for you to get a good handle on these situations before you put your money at risk.

If you are going to bet a favorite in the five to seven point range, then there is a decent chance that you will need some help from the free throw line to cover the number. This means that you need to assess a team’s free throw shooting ability. Do they have a guy who is better than 80% from the line? Do they have multiple players who can fill it up? Is there some glaring weakness that the other team could exploit? Think about these things before making college basketball picks. If there is a good free throw shooter on the club, then this should make you feel much better about the free throw situation.
