5-7 yesterday.
Michigan -8.5
AWFUL travel for Oregon recently. @ Minny, @ UCLA, back home vs Nebraska, and now back multiple time zones. It's gotta take its toll. Oregon also seems to be freefalling. They peaked too early, and now get the Michigan schools. It could turn ugly quick for the Ducks.
Butler/Seton Hall Under 136
These two played to a 159 just a couple weeks ago and the number posted was 137, but Seton Hall was 56% from 3, and Butler was 66% from 2. That's a lot of makes. Seton Hall hasn't scored more than 67 since then. Both offenses are in the 300s as far as average possession length. This number being nearly the same as last meeting, has me thinking the over is the "easy" play here.
Texas St -2.5
It's been a rough 10 days for the Bobcats as they dropped two to Arky St and then a bad one in between to Louisiana. Now they hit the road for 4 in a row. I'd imagine the goal is to win two of the four, and this is one of the winnable/should win games. ODUs offense is awful, and I just don't think they can score enough to keep this game within a possession.
Northern Iowa -4
Missouri St is not very good, and they just got their first conference win of the year. They come in fat and happy, for a UNI team that is still fighting for a top 4 spot in the conference and a bye in the tournament. Big win over Bradley last time out is the only concern, but Ben Jacobson is a great coach and should his guys minds right.
Northern Kentucky -1
If someone can tell me why Cleveland St, winners of 13 straight, and who won the previous matchup by 18, are underdogs, I'll have a listen. But this line wreaks and I'm not falling for it.
James Madison -1.5
Big game in Harrisonburg tonight. Troy is trying to keep up with Arky St and keep that coveted top two spot in the league where they would get an auto bye to the semis of the conference tournament. But JMU is only a game back, on their home floor, winners of four straight. Troy hasn't played on the road since Jan 18th. They get a little uncomfortable in a new environment, and JMU slows the tempo and comes away with the W.
Missouri +9
I think there is still a lot of value on Mizzou. They didn't win a single SEC game last year, were projected to finish 13th this season, and sit in third currently. Gates did a hell of a job in the portal, and the freshman class. Tennessee just got a big revenge win vs Florida, and probably isn't taking the Tigers as seriously as they should.
Duke/Syracuse Under 143.5
Cuse returning from their west coast trip should take a bit to adjust. Duke just beat the brakes off the Tar Heels and come into the Dome where it's tough to shoot due to depth perception, and I don't believe any of these freshman have played here before. Devils just go through the motions and come away with a 15ish point win, like 72-57.
