Central Michigan -4 over Tenn. Tech

Tenn Tech is 1-3 on the road where they are getting outscored by an average of 17 points per game and that is not against stellar competition.  In their last 2 games Tenn Tech lost by 14 at Furman and by 13 against a very mediocre Dayton team.  The only decent program that Tech has played this year was at TCU where they got destroyed by 37 points (63-100).  One of the worst teams in the country is Nebraska Omaha (1-9) and when Tech played NEOM they only won by 1 point (86-85)

Central Michigan has ripped off 6 straight wins since losing by 7 points (65-72) at Michigan.  Grant it, the competition has been mediocre, but they have been winning at home by an average of 18 points and on Tuesday night they beat a decent (7-2) Montana State Bobcat team by 27 points.  The Chippewa's home court should be strong enough to get their 7th straight win today and cover the small number.

Back with other write-ups.

Creighton -10.5 (-1.20) over Nebraska

Nebraska is off of big upset at home over Minnesota where they were an 8.5 point dog, but they have been terrible thus far on the road this year shooting 27.7% from the field going 0-2 and losing by an average of 26 points.  They lost by 23 to St. Johns and by 29 to Michigan State. 

This type of play by Nebraska will not bode well as they now face a high scoring Creighton team that is averaging 92.5 points per game and over 100 points in their home games.  Creighton is 4-0 at home winning by an average of 33 points.

Nebraska has always had a very difficult matching up and playing at Creighton where they are 3-13 ATS in the last 16 meetings.  Nebraska has also gone 0-8 in their last 8 games vs. the Big East.

The last 6 meetings between these two teams have been won by Creighton by and average of 15 points and I expect more of the same today.

Back with more write-ups and BOL!

Yep....I caught the RLM and I am also puzzled.  My first thought is always that their is some injury or suspension that has not been made public yet.  Central Michigan beat them last year on their home court by 16 and in that game Cent. Michigan was favored by -4.5.  IMO, neither team has changed much since last year.

Wichita State -5 over Oklahoma State

The Shockers have had this game marked on their calendar for a year now.

Last year was the first time these teams had played in 15 years and Oklahoma State went into Wichita and shocked Wichita where the Shockers never lose.  As an 8 point dog OSU beat them by 17 points (93-76).  This was the only home loss that Wichita had last year and the word is they are still upset about it and can't wait to return the favor today.

In last years game, the Cowboys were on fire shooting 52.5% from the field and from 3 point range going 50% (14-28).  The Shocker's did not have a chance only hitting 3-17 (17%) of their 3 points shots.  They lost by 17 points and OSU scored 33 more points from 3 point range.

I look for the #6 Wichita Shockers  to do a little of their own shocking today and get some sweet revenge against this years Cowboys Team.

Drake -7 (got -6 earlier) over Nebraska-Omaha

Nebraska-Omaha (1-9) is 0-7 on the road losing by an average of 17 points and today they will be catching a highly motivated (4-4) Drake team today.

Drake has played 3 straight road games and now they return home where they are 2-0 on the year winning by an average of 12 points and they get a rematch with NEOM from 12 days ago where they lost 73-75 as a 4.5 point favorite.

Drake has a decent win against an ACC team, Wake Forest (77-74) and just lost in OT at Wyoming.  I look for a big game from them back home in this revenge situation against a team that only has one victory on the season and it is against Drake.  Can you imagine the bulletin board material the Drake coach has for this game.  Would you want a (1-9) teams only 2 victories on the year to be against your team?  Hell no!!!!

COVERS is totally FUGGED up and slow with nothing working right since their changes.

Write-ups and posts will be done if this frigging sight stops timing out and giving me an error  message.

Just a waste of time now.

Cent Michigan should have been a win unless you got an inflated line.  Won by 5.

4-0-1 with One Late Play Pending:
Central Michigan -4 over Tenn. Tech     74-69

Evansville -4 (-1.15) over Canisius    65-58

Wichita State -5 over Oklahoma State     78-66

Drake -7 over Nebraska Omaha     93-74

Creighton -10 over Nebraska   PUSH   75-65  (but loser if you bet late)

UNLV -4 over Illinois   Pending

This is one of the busiest and most crowded weekends of the year in Vegas with the Rodeo in town.  I think this will be a real tough spot for Illinois (7-3) playing a 11:59 EST game at the MGM Grand Arena.  UNLV (7-2) had this game moved from their home court because the Thomas & Mack Arena has been taken over all week by the Rodeo.

Last weekend, UNLV lost their first home game of the season 88-91 to Arizona in OT and then on Tuesday night beat ORU by 26 points (92-66), while the Illini had to play a game Wednesday night and then to travel out west to Vegas.

Illinois is 0-2 on the road this year losing by 4 at Northwestern and by 7 at a very average Wake Forest team.  This UNLV team is young, but has tremendous talent and I think the ILLINI get caught up in all of the action off the court tonight in a very tough place to play.

BOL tonight!
