Whats going on with Baylor...Why are they not getting enough respect? They have a top defense and own their conference. Hard to travel and play at the O'Dome? Just curious on this line.

i don't think it's so much lack of respect as it is that florida has shown flashes of being the talented team that they are. florida has beaten some very good teams at home, including alabama and auburn. they're 2-1 against ranked opponents and 7-1 su at home this year. 

i think the travel will have some effect on this game as well, as baylor has been able to stick around in the vicinity of where they're comfortable. florida is definitely a long ways out. i think this is a good sandwich spot for baylor where a win wouldn't effect them too much as it is a non conference game, while florida is starved for a quad 1 win. 

baylor isn't the best on offense. their defense and rebounding allows them to smother and slowly wear down teams. blackshear is going to need to step up against gillespie off the glass. last week he didn't, and i guess an excuse could be he had a stomach virus.

as of late, florida has started to gel on offense and i've been impressed with their shot selection vs. the beginning of the season when they would rush a shot with no rhythm.

this is a much more even match up than people would think. the metrics show florida is the more efficient team on offense. penetrating the zone, drawing fouls, and offensive rebounding will be key for them to win in my opinion. should be a great game!

man, i can't figure providence out. they show spurts of improvement and then go down the toilet. i feel a contributing piece of that is due to dialo and pikens' inconsistency. after that butler game, i told myself i wouldn't play them anymore. the line screams providence, but i just can't play them. 'nova has started out slow on the road, for what it's worth. they are excellent at coming out strong in the second half. if i were to play providnce, it would be the first half. good luck!

wiseguy! great to see ya, bro!

when is juwaun howard going to learn to stop having teske shoot threes and far range jump shots? come on, man. it has not worked the entire season. you got this huge center who you refuse to run pick and roll/post plays with and always have him on the perimeter. he's 11-11 on dunks and is 76% at the rim. he's shooting 27% from three yet we are gonna keep trying?! draw some friggin' fouls and get the free points. this michigan offense is so damn frustrating to watch. end of rant

Hang loose an_cheers

Not looking good on the picks early, unc. Beat the closing line by damn near two points, lose by half a point. Already got a bad beat by pitt. Hopefully you didn’t go as large as me on these early games. My apologies
