Penn, Boston U, and American U, UC Riverside, Delaware, LaSalle, and Monmouth-NJ

Meanwhile, South Florida just beat rutgers and went down to the wire with uconn (60-57) and Southern Miss (53-51).  

Looks like a decent spot to take the 8 points on the road.


It looks decent when you include USF, Rutgers, and Southern Miss, but you left out the other games on the road where they've been waxed. Nova have revenge from last year's BE tourney? Not sure.

Pitt's offense is really struggling but they have enjoyed Depaul's style the last few years. Game's a coinflip, all Depaul games are.

thanks for the daily free input... based on that previous statement regarding pitt, would you lean under in that game? under 145/146 looks enticing

Yeah, I was thinking more of a play AGAINST Nova as apposed to a play for SF.  Thanks for the insight.  :)

Any thoughts on the UC Riverside @ UC Davis game. I lean UC Riverside -3. This UC Davis team is just real bad. They have trouble all over the court and losing their two 6'8" guards last year has proven to be a huge setback this year.

Any input would be helpful. Thanks as always and GL

Neil, if u have time, I like to ask u about one more.  Thoughts on Nevada playing Idaho on the road?

I am leaning towards Nevada in this one.  I decided to not play Stanford tonight due to them not playing on the road much and the firepower of Oregon's Devoe Joseph. Thanks and GL

I can never find myself playing a Depaul under. Against any team that poses a threat offensively, they will almost undoubtedly control the pace. Pitt's a snail, but this style is exactly what they need to get the offense going.

I'm a big fan of fading Jim Les at almost any opportunity you can get. He's taken over a team that I had a complete hard-on for last year with the big guards and the consistency that you got with them. I was in love, and used them many times with success. Les has sort of come in here and taken them from a slow team to a really really really fast team, and they're speed rating would be a bit higher had it not been for playing a few snails lately. Jim Les teams that play this fast just don't defend. UC Riverside isn't the most talented team offensively, they don't really have anyone that can score outside of Martin.

Just a tough game, team that plays it's style probably wins.

Another coin flip game in my opinion. Better offense probably wins. Point over.

Nothing is ever "safe". If the shots go in, I think you're safe. If they don't, then it's risky. Offense hasn't been firing. I think they come out firing tonight, but it's just tough to call a team safe when they're struggling and have multiple players playing out of position.

If Davidson comes down to 10 or lower anywhere within the next hour, I'm going to invest.

Piss on it. Can't avoid. Looked at it too much to avoid. Analysis page 11. I never lay double digit road chalk. They should make a statement.

5* Davidson -11

Nice run lately Neil.  Quick question.

Not sure if you looked at it at all, but I keep getting a Gonzaga total in the mid 130's tonight.  Do you think it is the blowout factor that is keeping the line so low, or am i missing something?

That and Pepperdine's offensive style puts you to sleep.

Already on Davidson -10.5, so I am happy to see this lean become a play for you.

I have to fade this UC Davis team. I live in the Sacramento Area and have seen this team and Sac St many times this year. UC Davis just lost to much when their two big guards left. I was like you, made some cash off UC Davis this year but look to fade them anytime I can
