Well SC has lost 9 of their last 10 and not covered in 8 of those losses.. SC has lost 6 in a row, but they covered at Cal and missed covering by 1/2pt against Stanford, that could be the reason people don't think Ore can beat SC by 8 ... As for the Colorado game i think people don't think colorado can beat anyone by 10... who knows?

I'm just saying i feel those 2 plays are the best in the pac12 from what i've seen year to date from the pac12..

Any thoughts on IUPUI - 1.5 at S. Dakota?  Line looks very low.

Thanks

As for UT Chat vs UNCG, what are your thoughts?  I like the road team here but Wes Miller doing a good job lately by beating CofC last week.

thanks

Greensboro's second straight against a zone. Greensboro defense forces you to shoot it well from the outside, something Nooga doesn't do well, and Nooga's on the second game of a three game roady which ends at that half of the Southern's projected champ, and comes directly after playing a really weird style in Samford. Tons of open shots for Greensboro, tonight. Feeling me?

I'm with you on Arizona - Utah just dismissed Watkins in the last 24 hours, so they've had no time to plan an alternate game plan.  And with him they lost 5 of the last 6, three by over 29 points.  BAD team.

I believe Vandy can hang with Bama on the road, but I'm not so sure about Virginia and Long Beach State as favorites, though I'm confident they are the better teams.  Thoughts?

They play zero defense, have never made the trip here, haven't won a road game all year, and Young will be guarded by one of the best defenders in the conference in Westbrook. Westbrook hasn't had anyone score more than 16 on him all year.

Held North Dakota State's Alexander to 8 in the most recent game. Held Wolters to 13, and the most impressive was that he held Oakland's Hamilton to 16. 

If Young can't score tonight, IUPUI has no chance of winning.

Vandy/Bama game should be a good one.

I think Virginia's the right side. I just can't see Georgia Tech scoring against a really good defense in a slow setting.

I will be playing Cal Poly. Immediate revenge from a five point loss where they only made one three-pointer and attempted 14 fewer free throws. Long Beach State's coming off by far the three worst defenses in the Big West where they could get any shot they wanted. Back to reality here, with a big fat look ahead to UC Santa Barbara, who happened to be the team that knocked them out of a chance for the Big West automatic bid last year in the conference tournament. I'm a sucker for spots like this and can't avoid.

Two slow teams. Would be value in St. Peter's at home with a low total, but they can't score, and Fairfield's one of the better defenses in the conference. In the last five meetings in regulation, they've scored 62, 59, 43, 59, and 48. This is by far the worst offensive team they've had as well (actually the worst defensive team they've had, too)

I'm going to say No (But i'm really saying Yes). My totals have been brutally horrific.

Don't want to jinx you.

Coming off a pretty big home win. But Loyola CHI sucks. And they have Butler on deck.

Problem with backing Valpo is that they've sucked when teams can slow them down (see Wright State and Wisky MKE), and Loyola's one of the slowest in the country.
