Fri 11/12 CBB 3-1 (+2.15) ATHLETES IN ACTION CLASSIC: 765 UW-Milwaukee (+3) (-107) 1st H 765 UW-Milwaukee (+5') Game 2* Portland may be a little overvalued off their early season success last year. 722 Miami OH (-10) Playing against the movement here. Towson opened last season hosting Miami OH and won by 11 and shot like 53%. Now they are DD dogs at Miami? Fishy fishy. Will add more later.

734 La Salle (-11') All the talk has been how happy LaSalle was to have LY over. They were ravaged with injuries. Columbia has a new young coach (former St. Mary's asst). It's going to take a while for his system to work. 724 Syracuse (-10') Ordinarily I'd take def-minded N Iowa along with history of Cuse playing down to competition. I think they remember that Cleveland State game getting beaten at home 2 yrs ago. Cuse also carries that sting of being in a #1 seed in the "easy draw" and losing to Butler. They will have focus here.

765 UW-Milwaukee (-1) 2nd H Mil got down 20-2 1st 10 min of game and pretty much played even up after that.

725 William & Mary (+10)

728 Xavier (-15')(-103) 735 Rutgers (+7') 797 Citadel (+14) 1.5* 768 UC Davis (+5) 2* 789 Tennessee Tech (+19') 793 Samford (+3') 1.5*

748 UL Lafayette (-1') New Mex St was in tourney LY. Bob Marlin, formerly of Sam Houston St, takes over at Lafayette. They confused the hell out of Baylor in the first round LY. Marlin will do a number on Menzies tonight. 749 Arkansas St (+14') John Brady, formerly at LSU, will get his club up to play an SEC school. Taking the defensive-minded club here. 751 Eastern Michigan (+21') 1.5* Izzo may do some experimenting here with South Carolina and Maui on deck. 804 Iowa St (-7) All money on UNA predictably. Iowa St down on talent, but I think they come with a big effort here. UNA lives by the 3.

740 Saint Joseph's (+2)

801 Tennessee State (+18') 2*

741/742 N Western/No Illinois OV 137 751/752 E Michigan/Michigan St UN 137'

759 Fresno State (+21) Steve Cleveland returns to BYU. Big game for him. 761 Cal State Northridge (+18') 2* 763 UC Riverside (+21) 1.5*
