Good riddance, November.
Wednesday
LA Tech -5.5
Saint Louis 1H -7.5
Arkansas +6
Arkansas +11.5/Indiana St. -1
Arkansas ML +210 (0.5 u)
Lean:
E. Michigan +20.5
-Arkansas play is predicated on the 'Zags having tired legs. It's not a particularly deep Zaga team, and having to go against the relentless Arky full-court press could be problematic. Few teams are as well-conditioned as Arkansas for this 3 games in 3 days schedule. My concern is the half-court defense, which Zaga may well exploit.
-Similar idea with the LA Tech play. The 'Dawgs press and run teams into submission, and with Bona playing its third game in three days, too, we could see some tired SBU legs in the second half. Also, SBU played another pressing team, Wagner, in yesterday's semis.
-Bills typically bounce back well after losses. I'm not sure what ODU has left in the tank after a physical pounding at the hands of WVU yesterday.
-I'm tempted on Eastern Michigan because this Kentucky team should struggle mightily against the 2-3 zone. If you've watched Syracuse play zone, then you understand how EMU's zone works. Murphy is a Boeheim disciple and has literally carbon-copied the defensive blueprint. He has great size with the 7-foot 'Cuse transfer Riley and 6'8 Arkansas transfer, Bryant. Eagles will have trouble putting the ball in the hoop, though, and will probably get eviscerated on the defensive backboards.
