LJ Cryer of Houston had an over/under scoring prop bet of 14.5 for Thursday's first round of the NCAA tournament vs. Siu-Edwardsville.
LJ Cryer Performance
Cryer finished Friday's 74-54 victory over BYU with 20 points (6-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes.
From RotoWire:
"Cryer drained four from deep as he reached the 20-point plateau for the fifth time in seven games. The senior guard is averaging 18.9 points on 49.0-percent shooting from deep during that stretch as the sharp-shooter is in the midst of one of the best scoring stretches of his career. Cryer will look to continue his hot play in Saturday's championship game, then carry it over to the impending NCAA Tournament where Houston will almost certainly enter as a one-seed and one of the favorites to make their second trip to the Final Four in the last five seasons."
