Public University.  They're not going to open up their wallet to bring in players when their are thousands to choose from who will be happy with just the full ride.

Changing the landscape in college ball.  Alumni don't want to throw big money at because they won't see the player for more than a year.

Go back to the old transfer portal rules.

Shouldn't have your cake and be able to eat it too...

Arkansas Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley St.

Legendary tilt here.  Not sure if I watch this or Duke/UNC...

Think the oddsmakers like Valley a little too much, I'm going against the grain and siding with the home team and -12.5 line.

GL, don't use up your whole bank role for this one...

Indiana, +12.5

I think the line opened a couple points too high IMO (in b-ball, that's nothing but still...) and was brought down; bettors did see some value in the home dog from the opening line.  Hawaii could limit Tait-Jones but my biggest worry (and why I stayed away ultimately) is San Diego could have a huge game from outside the arc.  They love their 3's and Hawaii doesn't defend it all that great and they themselves are not a 3 team.  I call these games 'junk ball'...

This line could close at +6.5 and that's what I have it pegged at, which at that point all value is gone IMO.

No play for me...

GL whatever you play.

Weird line.  Opened Iowa St -1.5 but it's since flipped with the Cats now favored -2.5.

Either this is inside info (flu bug or something) or sheep jumping off a cliff...  I feel it's the latter.

Kurt Jones should have a huge game, especially from downtown.  Arizona hasn't played a top team yet (in conference play) and the one time they have, their visit to TTU didn't go so well... 

Iowa St and TTU are upper echelon D's than recent Arizona wins over Baylor, OK St and UCF (all middle of the road).  This is a mismatch on paper and I'll bite here...

Plus, don't think Iowa St will be a no-show like Baylor was last week in Tucson...

Give me St as a dog...
