Vandy has been tested thru fire, Harv hasnt played anyone decent. I like Vandy for the game/ml. Gun to head I will take them at -5.

That's a good bet...Wisconsin will have this game at a crawl pace the rest of the way and they are not going to give up too many buckets from here on in

On New Mexico. I really like this Beach team, but just a bad matchup against the Lobos, IMO.

Looking at some matchups. Iowa St. in what I have seen is very unselfish offensively but isnt concerned to much defensively. Have seen teams just drive in there and nobody steps in to help. Conn they all say look at the talent on this team but continue to lose. This game I think should play over 138. Now this Wisc team they are going to play Vandy or Harvard. Lets say Vandy wins and they play Wisc. Games last played by Vandy Kent number 11 points allowed Harvard number 4 and Wisc number 1. Tough chore for that team for sure as nobody is talking Wisc and if they get hot shooting who knows. Im sure we agree defense gets wins so it will be interesting. Also Vandy is 104 points allowed what do you think the line will be tommorrow Wisc Harvard or Wisc Vandy?

I'd hazard a guess that the line is Vandy -1.5 but it should not be any higher than 3 at most. Probably will be looking at the under there provided it's not too ridiculously low.

I'm probably going to play Iowa State but will watch for a bit to see how things look. I like your "over" lean as UCONN should get some buckets in the paint and their guards will be a challenge for ISU. Plus, UCONN sucks at defending the three and ISU shoots it as well as anyone.

Loyola (MD) vs. Ohio State Under 131.5 (1 unit)

My lone concern here is Loyola's persistence in crashing the offensive glass. If they do not maintain proper floor balance, Ohio State is going to have ample runout opportunities. In a halfcourt game, though, the Greyhounds will be hard-pressed to break 55 barring a huge night shooting from the outside.

Friday

Bonnies vs. Florida State -5.5 (2 units)
Saint Louis +3 vs. Memphis (1 unit)
Detroit +14 vs. Kansas (1 unit)

Leans:
San Diego State +2.5, Ohio +5.5, Virginia +3.5, LIU-Michigan State Over 154.5

Waiting for better numbers on the above 3 sides. Neither of my books have not yet moved to my desired numbers, so I'll try and wait them out.

BOL today JFen. I'm leaning to LIU/Mich St over and VA also. Almost certain I will play that over.

Other leans in early games would be Texas, Bama, and Bonnies. Don't know if I can bring myself to pull the trigger on Texas or Bonnies, but we will see.

A couple other I am looking at for later in the day would be Lehigh and under in Mich/Ohio. Any thoughts on either of these?

Kansas just might destroy Detroit...GL!

Even tho KU hasn't been clicking, Detroit is very inconsistent and this might be the game KU needs to straighten them out.

I do like Lehigh. Still waiting to see if there is further clarification on Ryan Kelly's status, but it's at least a 1 unit play for me regardless. Michigan/Ohio under is interesting but my lone question would be if Michigan decides to attack the Ohio pressure or merely seeks to break it and then run halfcourt sets. Burke is a freshman and prone to playing out of control, which could quicken the pace and lead to turnovers/easy points. Other than that, should be a good play.
