Shooter's 1/2 CBB

Shooter's 1/2 CBB 12 PM: 528 Connecticut (-7) First true road game for the Irish. This could be a runout. The Irish play no defense at all. 525/526 Pittsburgh/Syracuse OV 137 (-108) 525 Pittsburgh (+11') 529/530 Old Dominion/Goerge Mason OV 119 (-108) 599/600 UAB/Arkansas OV 134 600 Arkansas (+4') (-115)

530 George Mason (+6) Have to take Mason at this point.

535/536 Baylor/S Carolina OV 142

1 PM: 531/532 Gonzaga/Illinois UN 149' 532 Illinois (-1') 1st H Gonzaga went late into the night on NYE's and now has a long trip to Chicago with only a travel day in between. 533/534 Arizona/UCLA UN 137 629 Rider (+5')

525/526 Pittsburgh/Syracuse OV 71' 2nd Pitt finally adjusted to the Cuse zone. 535/536 Baylor/S Carolina OV 75' 2nd

546 St. Joe's (-6') (-105) 543 Drexel (-5) 547/548 UW Milwaukee/Butler UN 131 Butler's really recommitting themselves on the defensive team. They completely shut down a slightly smarter Green Bay team the other night. 548 Butler (-8) (-115) 1st H UW Milwaukee got devastated at Valpo in a game they had won. They were up 1 w/ 3 secs left and all they hadd to do was inbounds and Valpo's McPherson stole it and went coast to coast for a layup to win. 540 Marshall (-7) (-103) Bonnies off rivalry games with Canisius and Niagara and also Cuse before that. Marshall should have more energy here. 538 Rhode Island (-1) (-105) MONSTER game for URI. They have had 20+ wins last couple yrs and never make the tourney b/c they don't have a statement non-conference win. This one has been circled all year. 541/542 UNCW/VCU OV 150 VCU is running more under new coach Shaka Smart than they did under Grant.

552 Tulsa (-8') (-108) 553/554 Louisville/Kentucky UN 149' (-102) 555/556 Villanova/Marquette UN 153' 556 Marquette (PK)

560 Hofstra (-2) (-108) W & M off their massive win at Maryland. Hofstra a focused small fav here. 561/562 James Madison/Northeastern OV 126 (-108) 2 teams travelling back from the West Coast = tired legs on defense. 565 Detroit (-1) (-103) 565/566 Detroit/Loyola Chi UN 134 Loyola may be out of energy after expending it all to hold off Wright St in an upset.

563/564 Wright St/UIC OV 124' 563 Wright St (-8') Why is UIC who has won two in a row at home getting +8' here? Hmmm. 570 New Orleans (-3) (-105) UNO's kids play harder FIU's kids. Thomas seems to be writing this year off until Ferguson (blue chip frosh), Legion (Kentucky and Illinois transfer) and other high-major talent get there. 558 Iowa (+10') Can't back a team like Minnesota laying DD on the road who turns it over as much as they do.

571/572 Oregon/Washington UN 157 576 Temple (+7') (-115)
