how about the ncwil game.  you had mentioned that they will be playing a delaware style defense and losing to hofstra might help the number.  any interest?

Delaware's defense is a bit different than Towson. Towson's is more of a zone based on man-to-man principles built on defending the guard spots. Delaware's is more of a man-to-man defend the bucket allow teams to get shots up. Anytime you play a zone like this, you need guards to attack, otherwise you're going to rely on shooting a good percentage to win. Definitely value UNCW better, but didn't want to rely on boom/bust with the shooting.

neil

I realize that UIC is very bad however are you at all concerned with the "back yard brawl" factor? Remember the Illini. I'd like to load up but the game just scares me. Talk to me!!

Ohio State vs Illinois......What a game this should be.....This game will come down to the bigs inside....With Lauderdale and Sullinger and Tisdale and Davis.....Which team can keep their big men on the floor the longest...Ohio State will get a spark off the bench with Craft...Much like Illinois does with Paul....We'll see how Illinois plans on playing Sullinger...If they double him, he will kick it out to the 3 point line for open shots.....Demetri McCamey will have a big game.....Should be a good one....I think the square play is taking Ohio State...I'm sure Vegas is counting on that

line opened at -1.5 and went to -3.5. i'm guessing the smart money was in early on OSU and they will come in on the dog before tip and try for a middle. i can't see a blowout either way so it makes sense

Seton Hall total opened at 130.5 and has bet down to 126 but my book gave me at 130. Is that the current line?
