Ok I am ready finish the card. I have seen the total bounce back and forth all day from 120 to 121. Has yet to budge but I am sure it will go against me before tip like most of the totals do. I think the TEX game last night was the first total that I can remember that did not go against me. Anyways I see a defense struggle here tonight.
UNI/WSU U 120.5 (2.5U)
UNI +3 (10U)
I cant convince myself here to back my rule. I just dont see it happening. UNI is probably one of the best road teams the last 2 years.
They really come out and set the tempo that most teams are not accustomed to playing unless we talk about the Big 10. This team is a Sr. laden group that gets after it defensively but more importantly utilizes the shot clock as a killer to wear teams down and get high percentage shots. This team has been behind before but with the way they play come 2nd H teams are just so mentally drained as UNI is still running like the game just started. I expect we see this tonight. It will take a special performance even from a good WSU group.
UNI has set the bar high these last 2 years. I really think this group is on a mission to run the table in the MVC. By winning games like tonight is a must for this group and especially when talking the MVC conf. Getting the autmatic bid out of this conf is never a guarentee due to the conf out conf schedule. I think winning games like these is a must and this group knows it. They are not letting off the gas when playing anyone and give it all for 40 minutes.
WSU is a team that plays wreckless and if TTECH knew how not run with this team well I think it would have been a different story. I look at UNI and in most areas they are a smaller version of PITT. A team that really frustrated WSU defensively earlier this year. WSU will shoot themselves right out of this game if they dont shoot high percentages and I fully expect them to do that as part of the reason for the under.
Anyways like I said it will take a special performance out of WSU tonight. Call me a square but I will take a experienced road team catching 3 all day in this spot and more importantly a experienced team that knows how to win games down the stretch. Revenge is here from last season also.
[/Quote Spot on UNC. Glad to see you like the game more than the total. You hit it right on the head when you wrote about winning the conference. Win tonight for N. Iowa and barring injuries, the conference is theirs. No guarantee an in at the big tournament, but a win tonight is a monster step for two bids for the MVC if someone upsets them in the conference tourney. Good luck tonight and sorry but I think I'm going against your Sycamores tonight. Going to have to fade them until they get healthy or show me more than they have so far. BOL
ISU want to get back to the basics tonight but with 8 guys its hard to say agaunst a SMS team that is not great at D as it is. I think the spread and total are pretty tight.
I was expecting to see a pick not 3. Really had to go through this one but I could be way off. This was a difficult game to cap for me.
