# 821 east carolina +8.5 way too much of this number is based on the scheduling situation...waaaaay too much.ecu played yesterday at southern miss and tulane has had an 8 day layoff.not sure if tulane is 8.5 better than any team in D-1...this is not like an nba back to back where you fly through the night and check into your hotel at 6am...they played in hattiesburg and had about a 100 mile bus ride to new orleans getting there at a reasonable hour...ecu may have looked at this 2 game weekend road trip and considered tulane the winnable game of the set.this pirate team lost at northern iowa(16-2) by just 6,at va commonwealth(13-5)by just 8 and at uab(17-2)by also just 8 and now i catch 8.5 pts vs a 6-11 tulane club that has little to no home court advantage made worse today with everyone's full attention to partying for the saints game...this is a really bad number....another factor i like is that ecu's point guard brock young(team's leading scorer and conf usa leading assist man)is coming off his worst game of the season yesterday scoring just 5 pts and taking only 6 shots....he will not let that happen again.very winnable game for the pirates at a ridiculous price.tulane has 13 games vs "board teams" this year with just 1 win by this number.
EAST CAROLINA +8.5 is a big play and i took some ML +350 as well
