On a 17-2 run and only Illinois' lack of effort in the 2H last night kept me from 19-0. I really like tonight's card and am looking foward to another very profitable evening. BOL to all.

Penn State - Duquesne
Penn State comes into tonight's contest as the Nation's #1 team (actually tied with Wisconsin) in Turn Overs only giving the rock up 9 times per game. With quality wins over LaSalle and St. Johns as well as two tough losses to Ole Miss and Pitt this is an experienced bunch led by one of the best guards in the country in Tim Frazier. Frazier puts up 18.6 PPG and dishes out 7.2 APG. Along side Frazier is DJ Newbill who is shooting at a 50% clip as well as a 45.2% clip from 3-point land. He is averaging 19.1 PPG. Defensively, Penn State is anchored by 6'9" Donovon Jack who has 11 blocks in their last 3 outings. Finally, Penn State is very good from the charity stripe connecting on 75.4% of their freebies. On the other side we have a Duquesne team that has limped to a 3-3 record with their 3 wins coming against national powerhouses Abilene Christian, Albany, and UMBC. This Dukes team was picked to finish last in the A10 this year and for reason. They are a team of transfers and newcomers. They are led by Ovie Soko and his 16 ppg. He alongside with Tra'Vaughn White at 15.7 ppg lead lead the Duke offense. Missing from this Duke team is a defensive presence as witnessed by them allowing 80+ to UMBC! Duquesne won me alot of money in the past with their wave after wave substitutions and their 40 minute press, however this is not the same Duquesne team. Penn State is the better team and should cover the 6 for me tonight.
North Dakota State - Notre Dame
One thing I know...Notre Dame is money at home. 59-4 in last 63 at home proves it. Tonight they face a stiff challenge as NDST is a very solid and experienced team that has 4 players averaging double digit points. Coming in at 79.7 PPG the NDST shoots an impressive 51.3% from the field. Led by Taylor Braun and his 16.6 PPG. Taylor has company as Marshall Bjorklund (14 ppg), TrayVonn White (12.4 ppg), and Mike Felt (10.6 ppg) are all also at double digits. Notre Dame has put up 82.8 PPG and they are led by Jerian Grant and his 19.8 ppg. Grant is joined by garrick Sherman (14.6 ppg), Pat Connaughton (13.1 ppg), and Eric Atkins (12.4 ppg). What's impressive about Notre Dame to me is the fact that they have a +13.7 scoring margin, a +6.7 rebound margin, and a +3.0 turnover margin coming into tonights contest. In what could be determined by free throws I will take the 59-4 home team that shoots 77.2% from the stripe over the visitor tonight.
Canisius - Buffalo
Long story short in this one. The wrong team is favored in my "humble" opinion. Buffalo, to me, is a one trick pony. That pony's name is Javon McCrea. Mind you, he is a hck of a pony to have on your side, but in the end he is just one pony and he brings only 16.8 ppg to the table. Canisius on the other hand has three ponies and 2 others that can explode at any given time from behind the 3 point line. Led by Billy Baron and his 19.9 ppg Canisiu has two others, Jordan Heath (11.4 ppg) and Chris perez (11.3 ppg) at double digits per game. Key to the game tonight is the difference offensively for these two teams as defensively they both are well below par. Canisius has the advantage in FG% 44.4% to 40.3% and what will turn out to be the key to this game 3-Pt % 40.7% for Canisius against 30.6% for Buffalo. Look for the straight up Canisius win here, but I will ALWAYS take the points.
