Happy Tuesday, Bucketheads! We have a good sized slate ready to go tonight featuring a ton of ranked teams and plenty of ACC and B1G action. While there are some mega DFS match-ups that didn’t make the cut for tonight’s slate, we still have everything written up for you to consume before the (earlier than normal) 5:30 tip.

Okay… I got the rah rah stuff in, but I need to go on a rant here (this is Joe). Slates like this drive me absolutely crazy. On the surface it’s fine. Ranked teams everywhere, plenty of good teams and some diverse games. What I hate here is that it reflects on how out of touch DraftKings can be with the CBB community. I get it… we aren’t the NFL, NBA, or PGA, but we have loyal players in a really fun sport that is dying to grow. Yet this shows us you don’t have interest in the CBB product. Here is what I am talking about:
- On one hand we have known teams in the top 25 all over the slate to bring in the average fan.
- On the other, our featured tournament is a $15 buy in which is too much for the average fan.
- If you want to play less than $5 or less the biggest tourney maxes out at $100 to the winner.
If DraftKings is playing the the CBB diehards give us the games we want. Give us Auburn @ Georgia and its 159 over/under, but instead we get Tennessee @ Ole Miss (124) or Purdue @ 9-8 Maryland (134) that starts 30 minutes before a standard tip. If you are playing to the average fan get a few tournaments out there at $5 or less where a Buckethead could actually win a little money. And don’t get me started on including the Kentucky @ Missouri game DK knew was rescheduled for Wednesday…
Your boys @CBB_DFS truly love college basketball DFS. So do our Bucketheads. We are going to play every day regardless of slate make-up, but seeing this continues to remind us that there is little support from the powers-that-be behind the product, and eventually any momentum in the product will start to shrink. I am off my soap box. Good luck tonight, Bucketheads!
Prize Picks – Feb. 2nd
D’Mitrik Trice
Wisconsin
Yeah, I’m going to double down on him. No one believes in him except for me, LFG OVER 24.2!
– James
Rasir Bolton
Iowa State
The game has a nice 144.5 o/u and Bolton plays 89% of the minutes with 28% possession rate, so we know he’ll have the ball in his hands a ton. I like the OVER 25.5.
– Byrd
Devontae Shuler
Ole Miss
I like Shuler as a player, but Ole Miss is offensively challenged, and playing Tennessee doesn’t help that. Even with a couple steals I don’t know how he gets 25 fantasy points. Give me the UNDER.
– Joe
