Research checklist for VMI Keydets at SMU Mustangs
College basketball has more than 350 teams and thinner information on most of them, so research depends on tempo, schedule strength and availability reports that can be harder to verify.
- Check the final injury and availability reports for VMI Keydets and SMU Mustangs close to the start.
- Confirm the starting five and any minute limits, because college rotations change quickly.
- Check tempo and the venue: home court is a bigger input in college basketball than in the pros.
- Convert any price you are offered to a break-even probability and compare it with your own estimate.
- Write down your reason before you place anything, and decide your unit size in advance.
