# 573 coastal carolina +11 this is too many points to give this underdog tonight in opening round nit action...when you see a college basketball team that averages more points offensively and gives up fewer points defensively than the opponent you will see that tean be the favorite almost every single time...well tonight that team is an 11 point dog mostly having to do with conference profile and i absolutely disagree with the number...motivation will not be an issue for the chanticleers as this is their 1st postseason game in 17 years!!...on the other hand alabama-birmingham started the season off 18-2 and if you would have told them at that point there wouldn't be at the worst an at large invite to the dance but instead hosting an nit game i'm sure they weren't buying that...now uab comes in losers of 3 in a row(2 of them as a favorite)having scored in those games 44,50 and 65 points facing a team that they can't get up for who gives up just 60 ppg and they lay dd chalk...cliff ellis is the big south coach of the year and has taken several teams to the postseason and has done an outstanding job this year tucked away in conway,south carolina...his team wants this game more and we have lots of points to work with...coastal led their conference in fg % and 3 point shooting % while uab tied for last in conf usa in the latter...they also collected 40 boards a game and these are nice intangibles to have when catching 11 points...this number is too big and this dog will be in the game all night...# 573 COASTAL CAROLINA +11 is a play...good luck fellas
