Wanted to get this thread going now as there's one play in particular I wanted to lock in before the line continues to rise.
Towson -4 (1.1 to win 1) - This is a Towson team that's really come a long way. They were 1-31 3 years ago, and 4-26 2 years ago, now after taking a huge step last year with 18 wins, they should take yet another step forward this season. Skerry went through the tough times as his 1st season on the job was the 1-31 disaster I mentioned earlier. He's now however turned the Tigers into a solid squad. Leading the way for the Tigers is Jerrelle Benimon who is in his 2nd season with Towson after transferring over from Georgetown. Benimon can do a little bit of everything, he can score, rebound, pass, defend, you name it. Very well might the best player in the CAA. Also back for Towson are Marcus Damas, Mike Burwell, and Jerome Hairston. Those 4 lead the way for Towson and the starting 5 is rounded out by Timajh Parker-Rivera who is also back from last years squad. The talent level is as high as it's been at Towson in quite sometime. Temple on the other hand lost a ton from last seasons roster. Gone are Scootie Randall, Khalif Wyatt, Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson, Jake O'Brien and TJ DiLeo. They'll still be decent, but there's no way around the inevitable drop off after losing that many solid players. That drop off is already starting to show as they lost the other day at home to a pretty mediocre Kent State team. It feels strange typing this but Towson actually has more talent on their roster than Temple does right now. I expect them to win this one by 8 to 10 points.
Will have some more adds later tonight and/or in the morning.
GL guys,

San Diego State +1 (1.1 to win 1) - At first glance many of you are probably wondering what the #6 team in the nation is doing only favored by 1 against an unranked SDSU team. Well i'll start by talking about how tough the Aztecs are at home. Living in San Diego i've been to many Aztecs games over the years and that's one of the best home court atmospheres in the country. That isn't me being biased, guys like ESPN's Andy Katz and CBS Jim Nantz have said the same thing, the place is nuts. Behind the strength of that home crowd and of course some damn good players they've only lost 5 home games total in the last 4 years. Gone from last years team are 4 key players, Jamaal Franklin, Chase Tapley, DeShawn Stephens, and James Rahon, but as usual Fisher has reloaded. The top newcomer is Tulane transfer Josh Davis. Davis has reminded some on campus of Kawhi Leonard he comes over having dominated in Conference USA and should have a big season for the Aztecs. Also back are JJ O'Brien, Winston Shepard, Xavier Thames and Skylar Spencer who with Davis form the starting 5. All of which are pretty solid players in their own right. Thames provides the leadership as the Senior PG, and O'Brien is a gritty gutty post player. Skylar Spencer provides a very nice shot blocking threat down low as last year he set an MWC record for blocks by a Freshman. The key however to this team could very well be Winston Shepard. Shepard is one of the few five star recruits in SDSU history and in his Freshman season last year failed to live up to the hype. His talent is off the charts though, he just needs to put it all together. The strength of this SDSU team will be on the defensive end. Defense is Fishers pride and joy, and here he's got a team that can really get after you on that end of the floor. They can pressure you out top, play in your face man to man, and block shots down low. On the Arizona end there really isn't too much that needs to be said. They are ranked #6 in the country for a reason, they're a very good team. I went more into detail about SDSU in this write up because people don't realize how good they are, especially at home. Arizona on the other hand, people know. There's no secret, that team is stacked. Nick Johnson and Brandon Ashley are back and they welcome in TJ McConnell a talented transfer from Duquesne, as well as hot shot recruit Aaron Gordon. That 4 is about as talented as any foursome you'll see in the country. All that said I just feel they'll have their work cut out for them in this one. Going into Viejas arena and beating SDSU just doesn't happen often, and I don't think it happens here.

Yeah I was a big fan of Shepard in high school. Could handle the rock and is a nice point-forward type. I love SDSU at home and have backed them many times there. Tough game for me to take anyone as I love Arizona this year because they finally have a true PG in McConnell. He is a great fit for that team.
Probably just be one I watch.

Hey D-Man. As a fellow San Diegan and Aztec alum, I am both excited and worried about Thursday night's battle with the 'Cats.
There's no doubt that the "V" will be rockin', and I believe it has been sold out for quite some time. I worry that this relatively "new" group hasn't had enough time to jell yet. I have no doubt that they will have yet another 20+ win season. I just wish THIS game would have come a few weeks into the season. I'm still putting my dough on the Aztecs, though!

They are just so tough to beat in that building. If Zona comes in there and pulls it off i'll tip my cap to them, take the loss, and move on. I just don't see it. SDSU is a bit raw offensively but that defense is going to be something special. If that D can frustrate Zona, open up some easy transition baskets and get the crowd going they should win.

They are raw yes, but very, very talented. Arizona has some bigger names and more well known players but don't sell the Aztecs short. They've got a damn impressive roster, and obviously at home very rarely lose.

David man !!!! We were on that Niagra train i hit hard on that had a monster teaser with them +8.5 nice day hit for $1200
Loved Niagara all day, didn't understand all the support for Buffalo here. Line was moving towards Buffalo all day too. Really was scratching my head, then the game played out exactly as I thought. Niagara in control basically the entire way.

my thoughts xactly bro. Zona is big on 3pt shooting but not so shite hot on the FT's scenario. Very good point though on the gellin process with these new guys,, though but a basket ? hmmmmm. If the line was bigger,id prolly roll with your boys @ home. But these freeking stats are off the charts with SDST: San Diego State has won 40 of its last 41 non-conference home games San Diego State has won 11 of its last 12 meetings against Pac-12 programs.

Thanks man, some solid points. You mentioned their overall dominance at home, and over the Pac-12. Which includes Arizona. If not for a blocked shot in the final seconds last year SDSU would currently have a 3 game winning streak against Arizona.
