Chris Warren is a major talent, but Melvin Goins can slow him down because Warren won't be a ton faster than everyone in this game like he usually is. Zach Graham is talented, but Hopson/Tatum should be able to guard him and if they fail I think we could see Tobias Harris, too.

If I'm missing someone please let me know, of course Gaskins is good, but I don't think he can take over the game against a solid Tennessee defense. Please elaborate

leans:
Hofstra +9
Miss State +7
BC +17
NMSU -2
Oregon +8

locked in:
Mississippi State +7 (-110) vs. Vanderbilt
-Love Vandy as a team, but they are banged up and I don't think Ezeli has enough in the tank to guard Renardo Sidney right now. The home court cowbells will be in full force, and I think MSU is a buy team right now after a terrible start to the season.
New Mexico State -2 (-110) vs. Boise State
-NMSU is as healthy as they've been all year, it's a tough place to play and Boise is built with guards and has struggled/will struggle against talented bigs and NMSU has a few of them starting with Gillenwater.

Tomorrow, the Rebs are @ UALR for a 2pm tip.  The Rebels have only been on the road once, and we were shellacked @ Miami.  The final score isn't indicative of the game.  We were down 30 in the first half, only to cut into the lead very late in the game. 

UALR has some athletes.  They aren't great basketball players, but they are good athletes.  This is alot like Miami, and I expect Ole Miss to struggle on the road tomorrow.  The Rebs have a solid team this year, barring injury to Buckner or Warren.  However, Buck has stayed banged up all year, and he is really the only rebounder on the team.  

UALR is off a few decent wins at home against Tulsa and LA Tech.  Not great teams, but decent opponents. 

I was hoping for double digits, and that is what is keeping me from making this a bigger play.  I am going to take UALR to cover the 8-, and the Rebs to win a close game on the road tomorrow.  

UALR +8- for 2 units


My other two SEC plays are plays I really like:

Simply, this.  Bama is horrendous, and Providence isn't.  I thought this line would open around 9-, so when I saw -5 I thought I was dreaming. 

Providence -5 for 4 units

TN v Pitt is one of the marquee games tomorrow.  Both teams are very good, and play a different style of ball.  Should be interesting to see who can draw whom into their game.  Usually, it is the team that runs, and I think that is what will happen tomorrow.  TN will get Pitt into a game they don't want to play, and it will go back and forth until Pitt wins it at the line late in the game.

TN +8 for 1 unit

Good luck tailing or fading.

I talk about it if I make it a play.

Cburk...the problem with dayton is shooting. Teams are giving them the jumpshot and Dayton is dying by it. They are playing horrible in a majority of their games. It makes me think how on earth did they beat Mississippi...and to think I even took them there.

Dayton seems to get up for big games, and often come down to the level of opponent (at least this year evident in probably 3-4 games+). 10 pts is a lot...but if you look at ODU, they have been X and Richmond by about 8pts. They were losing to Richmond by 7 however fairly late. I normally would love Dayton here, but a team that cant shoot right now, playing against a team that is very good defensively scares me to bits.
