3-4 yesterday on plays. The battle rages on.
Canisius +8.5
Niagara is coming off their biggest win of the year @ Quinnipiac. They are probably feeling themselves pretty good coming back home, thinking they can just roll out of bed and beat Canisius. Wrong. The Griffs damn near got Niagara on their home floor, just 6 days ago, losing by 1. Canisius is a 3pt reliant team, so we will need a few to go in, but they shoot a reasonable percentage as a whole, and the Purple Eagles don't defend the line.
Winthrop -3.5
Radford is also coming off a huge road win @ Longwood, and catches Winthrop team that would like to avenge a 20 point loss from earlier in the year. The line really tells us all we need to know I think.
UTSA/Wichita St Over 152.5
These two played to 163 a month ago, and I think we have a similar outcome. Both defenses are set up to stop what the other offense likes to do. Both have a great tempo, and are efficient enough to get me to 160.
Belmont -4.5
Valpo has the revenge angle in their favor, but these two played on 1/14, and Valpo has the same amount of wins today, as they did then. This team is freefalling, losing their last two by 18 each. Belmont is very much still alive in the MVC and their offense should be way too much for Valpo to keep up with.
Drake -1.5
They have a look ahead with Bradley next, but I really think Coach McCollum has his guys completely bought into him and his culture, and they worry about anything, except for what is next. And that is a decent Illy St team, that will beat them if they don't show up. But I fully expect them too, and Vegas is baiting people with the short line in a look ahead spot.
Missouri -9.5
Great spot to back the Tigers as they have lost two straight, one they probably should have won. Staying at home, and get, in my opinion, one of the more overrated teams in the land, Oklahoma. They have lost on the road by 28 @ Bama, 10 @ Georgia, and 28 @ Auburn. They just don't have the athletes to keep up with this Mizzou team, who should come out of the gate with their dreads/hair on fire.
