Hey Neil, can I get your thoughts on Butler vs Wright State?

Thanks.

I didn't know Butts was out too. That's why I hate playing these small schools with no media and info sometimes.  U think that in 2012 there would be more news that was available lol.

I like Butler, just not work the risk. One of the few teams they'll play in the Horizon where they actually have a better offense. Wright State's 3-1 in the conference, but they've played three of my bottom four projected's. Probably low scoring, defense wins types of games, just not work laying the chalk. Rough two game roady for Butler here. We should know a lot more about them after it.

i genuinely look forward to reading your writeups everyday, better than sports illustrated.  thanks for all you do and your expanse of knowledge in the sport never ceases to amaze me.  I've been terrible this year but my few tails of you everyday seem to soften blow.  What do you make of Fairfield laying 6 at Siena, I know thats a lot of points for you but it seems like Siena will struggle to put up 50

Fairfield's 3-0 in the conference, but they've sort of had the benefit of having three matchups where they have won based solely on system. By system, I mean what they do pretty much handles teams that have no flow or rhythm (Canisius and Niagara). Siena is a bit different, as they like to stay within their own system, so it might be a bit of a test for Fairfield tonight. Siena's traditionally been a tough place to go into and win, but the offense has been brutally bad recently. Not sure I can trust either team.

To find the last time that Siena was more than a +6 at home, you'd have to go back to 2007/2008 when Stanford came in here with the Lopez brothers and Landry Fields. I believe Stanford made the Sweet 16 that year. Siena's already beat a similar style at home in Princeton by 4, but Princeton could have been looking ahead to the Florida State game (that they won outright by the way). If Siena's going to compete, they're going to have to score. In their three conference games, they've scored 44, 59, and 59, and the last 59 came in an up and down frenetic pace. Fairfield's small at the guard spot, Siena's tall. Probably take a look at the under, might be the best side.

Neil,

Any thoughts on Evansville/Illy St?  I been riding the Aces lately and love them catching 7.5 to a very overrated Illy st team.  You know the MVC better than anyone, so what am I missing?  thanks in advance.

Come on Ropp....Make them all 4.33 units and throw 1 unit on a 3 team parlay


Looks solid. I have a slightly bigger card for tomorrow and Loyola found its way on there. Will probably just tail the other 2 blind based on my faith in you capping.

Forget about the FAU vs Lil Rock game Neil. I did more research on it and Lil Rock played well vs Kentucky even without Neighbors.

Have a great night. I sort of like Wofford and College of Charleston too. I'm a sucker for small road dogs even though it is a death knell in NCAAB
