***NCAA WEDNESDAY WINNERS & WRITE UPS***

Hey Guys its been a long time. Thought I'd check in and give you some winners to smash the books tonight.....

Ohio St +1.5 

Ohio St has flat out struggled. Alot of that has to do with facing tough competition and a bad underestimating ugly loss on the road against Rutgers. Tonight Ohio ST is coming into this game mad and wanting to right the ship at home after going 0-4 in their last 4 B1G games. Their competition Purdue is basically a one man show with Carson Edwards. The Boilermakers will go as far as he will take them. Here on the road though they will struggle. Purdue is a jump shooting team as they shoot the trey 46% of their total attempts. This is exactly what the doctor ordered for Ohio St. as they are good in defending inside out. The problem with Ohio St though through this slump has been their inabilty to limit fouls. Teams are getting to the line non-stop against them however against a jump shooting team like Purdue that will not be a problem. Purdue is 306th in getting to the line on the year. The Buckeyes will be able to contain Purdue offensively. On the other side of the ball Ohio St will do enough to get the W. Purdue in recent years has been a hard nosed defensive team but not so much this year. Opponents are shooting above D-1 average at 52% thats not honna get it done on the road against a decent shooting team in Ohio St. Guys I have Ohio St getting a much needed W here. 

Arkansas -7

Guys I know Arkansas has been terrible only covering 1 game in their last 10 and losers of their last 4. But Missouri is just too young and too reliant on jump shots to have a chance at Bud Walton. Arkanasas defensively has been solid except for the fact that they foul wayyy to much and cant clean up the glass for the life of them. Good thing Missouri is a jump shooting team to minimize the Razorbacks fouls. Missouri also turnovers the ball wayy too much not good when you face a classic Arkansas team who thrives off of turnovers. They are 67th in the nation in creating turnovers while Missouri is 290th in protecting the basketball. Expect less possessions for Missouri due to coughing up the ball. Arkansas on the other end are solid not great however they get to the free throw line a bunch and Missouri is a very undiscipline team that fouls wayy too much. Expect Arkansas to get some easy buckets inside with Gafford and to live at the free throw line tonight. Missouri is also coming into this contest feeling a little too excited after blowing out Tex AM and I believe they will be quickly humbled by Arkansas who is super hungry to get a W. 

Vanderbilt +9

Tennessee is really really good. They are number 1 for a reason however there are some flaws that against Vandy at home that I believe will keep this game close. Tennessee offensively is dynamite no doubt about it. Vandy will struggle to keep them at bay. The Volunteers excel in all aspects offensively. They love pounding it inside with 55% of their points coming in the interior. Vanderbilt however does a pretty good job in defending both the perimeter and the paint. Where they have struggled though is cleaning up the glass. Tennessee will kill them with second chance opportunities. On the other side of the ball is where Vandy can take advantage of some Volunteer weaknesses. Vanderbilt will get to the line at will against this high pressure Tennessee defense. Saban Lee and Simi Shittu live on the line where Vandy is 7th in the nation and Tennessee is 224th in the nation in giving up free throws. Expect Vandy to slow down the game, live on the line keep Tennessee out of rythym just enough and keep this game close enough to cover the 9 points. The line is inflated here due to Tennessee pounding their last two opponents on the road.
