Mercer -4: Line jumped out at me and I hit it early for a big 2 units play. Teams split season series with Bears winning the most recent one by 9 after losing earlier by a bucket. Bears come in with 4 wins in their last last 5 including wins over Samford, NC Greensbro and at Furman in the season finale. That completed a season sweep over Furman, who many expected to win the regular season title. Mercer has a huge edge in size over Citadel, in fact they may be the tallest team in the Southern. The Citadel is basically junk, racking up a pair of six-game losing streaks in conference play after playing surprisingly decent in non-conference play that included a win over Notre Dame. No matter, I think they get wrecked tomorrow as the tournament gets going in Asheville, NC.

High Point -10: Radford doesn't have fond memories of their last visit to High Point where they were pounded by 25. High Point also beat Radford by 14 on the road. Radford looked like they would contend when the season started but fell right out of the picture, losing 7 of their last 9. They even got swept by a bad Charleston Southern team. High Point is well rested and should come out with all guns ablazing in front of their hometown fans. Highlanders badly overmatched in practically every area and should get crushed on the glass. Panthers roll by 15-plus points here and easily book their spot in the semifinals. 1.5 units.

North Carolina A & T +7: Waited patiently for this to hit a doable number. Landon Glasper is questionable and I can't find any updated info for the Aggies standout guard. He missed the last game of the season at Campbell with a recurrence of his knee injury and the Aggies only lost by 2. Think they win outright if Glasper plays and is healthy enough to play 20-25 minutes. If he doesn't ... well I will be hoping for the cover against a Bill and Mary team that is right with the Aggies on the suckage level. Only 0.5 units on this one.

Threw 1 unit down on Milwaukee at 7 to 1 to win the Horizon League tournament. Probably should have done it before the quarterfinal game at Green Bay, but instead went small on the game and then take my chances with the semis and final at a neutral site (Indianapolis). Think the Cats will have the best player on the floor with BJ Freeman and I think they definitely beat Northern Kentucky in the semifinal. In a perfect world, Cleveland State upsets Oakland in the other semifinal.

Really going back and forth on this Belmont-Northern Iowa game. NI open as 1.5 favourites now it's Belmont -1. I am playing Belmont or nothing at all but going to wait another hour or so to see where the line goes and some of the opinions on here. Belmont -1 works but will play the ML if it was to get to 1.5 or 2. Both teams have been hot and N. Iowa has some very good shooters, but Belmont is more athletic. Been pumping the Bruins tires on here for awhile and while I think they get it done, it's probably going to be a tight one. The fact Belmont had a nice warm-up scrimmage against horrible Valpo yesterday I think is an advantage for the Bruins. Will check back in a while on this one.

VMI +17.5 for 0.5 units: Think in an elimination game that VMI can score enough to stay within the number. ETS isn't exactly a juggernaut. Thinking a 73-64 type game.
Only other play we are considering is Tennessee Martin +8 over More Head. Got some time to chew on that one.

Ok, rolling with Belmont -1, for 0.5 units.
