Mon 12/27 CBB 724 Indiana (-6') (-106) 1.5* Indiana comes off two bad losses in Vegas to Northern Iowa and Colorado. PSU has only played 3 games from 12/7 to today. PSU doesn't guard (rank #300 in defending the 3 and also doesn't defend the rim well. The Hoosiers are already hearing the panic from the Indiana fans. This young team has feasted on creampuffs but are unbeaten at home. Stop or at least contain Talor Battle and IU should win by double digits.

730 Pittsburgh (-7) 2* UConn overrated. Pitt took bad loss to Tennessee on a game in Pitt (not on home floor). Pitt ranks #1 in offensive efficiency and #1 in off rebound% and #12 in preventing off rebounds. Line looks too generous, but looks can be deceiving.

723 Penn St/Indiana OV 131' 1.5* As I said below, Penn St has trouble guarding the rim and so does Indiana. Both teams also foul a ton.

Taran Buie suspended for PSU tonight.

733 UT-Martin/Ohio State OV 143' 1.5* UT Martin played way over tempo with the one other decent club out of conference they played (@ Memphis on 11/23, 80-102 loss, it was 43-63 at half). Ohio State can do what they want. 727 Northern Illinois/Missouri OV 155' Ricardo Patton had his club go over with UIC and DePaul. He will be stupid and run here. 726 UAB (-12) GW on 3-game win streak. UAB very good at home and have some confidence after coming back against VCU.

723 Penn St/Indiana OV 70' 2nd H Lots of 3's but very few fouls and both these clubs foul like crazy.
