Shooter's 1/30 CBB

Shooter's 1/30 CBB Disaster last night. Moving on. 12 PM Plays: 513/514 LaSalle/Temple UN 127' LaSalle is often disorganized on offense. Temple's defense stunk in the 2nd Half at Charlotte. I expect better today. 516 George Mason (-4') (-108) 1st H 517 Marquette (+5') 519 Louisville (+4') (-105) 1st H 519 Louisville (+7') Game Louey needs a win badly over a quality opponent. West Virginia is the better team, but I think Louey can match up with them in terms of size and their pressure will force inconsistent WV PG Truck Bryant into some bad decisions. 521 Eastern Michigan (+8) 521/522 E Michigan/Miami OH OV 125
Louisville +6' still good? missed the boat at 7'
Maybe just 1st Half.
1 PM Plays: 672 Georgia Southern (+2') Short line for Charleston on the road. GSU seems to always cover as small conf dogs this year. They beat App St, Citadel and W Carolina and covered vs. Davidson. Played better of late. 523/524 Geo Wash/Rhode Island UN 147 525/526 Duke/Georgetown OV 141 Duke held uptempo Clemson to under 50 and Fla St to the low 50's. Surely they can do the same to Princeton offense Georgetown right? 535 Buffalo (-1) (-114) MAC East over MAC West. Buffalo just lost at home as a DD fav to Ball State. 529/530 LSU/Miss State OV 128' Miss State went under against fast Arkansas and LSU scored 38 the other night at Bama. Easy under, right?

2 PM Plays: 531 Oklahoma State (+4) 1st H OK St may have low energy having to be snowed in at the airport, but I think that shows up in the 2nd H and not the 1st H. 534 Kent State (-5') (-104) 1st H 540 Wright State (-17) Wright St lost on 12/31 at Loyola as an 8.5-pt fav. Now they lay 17 at home? Big turnaround on the spread, but it is there for a reason. Loyola's 12-8 record is inflated. 541 Indiana (+13) 541/542 Indiana/Illinois UN 139 Illinois has been on fire the last 2 games from the floor, especially the 3. I don't think that continues. This total is also way too high. Indiana has scored 67, 45 and 54 on the road in conference play and that 67 was a foulfest against terrible Penn St. 544 DePaul (+9) 1st H 544 DePaul (+15) Game Big East best vs. Big East worst. DePaul after their first game without the fired Wainwright, has been gritty and covered three straight (won outright vs. Marquette, stayed with Notre Dame the whole game on the road and covered vs. West Va).
526 Georgetown (+3) (-120)
537/538 St Louis/Richmond OV 116 673/674 Murray St/Tenn-Martin OV 140
3 PM and 3:30 Games: 546 SMU (+4) (-105) 1st H 546 SMU (+8) Game SMU got beat DD both meetings, including by 43 at Memphis LY. That was an experienced Memphis team. I don't like Doherty as a coach, but I think SMU will be up for this one. 547/548 Northern Iowa/Missouri St UN 128' They scored 160 in Cedar Falls on 1/3. Much lower scoring here. 553/554 Wyoming/Air Force UN 128' 554 Air Force (-1) (-106) Wyoming stepped up in first game without leading scorer Muojeke by beating Utah as a home dog. Here's the clinker. Tough place for them to play. Disciplined and smart team. Horrible spot for Wyoming. Air Force also winless in the conference and a fav here. 675/676 Western Carolina/Samford UN 126' Fast team versus slow team. Easier to slow a fast team than to speed up a slow team.
549/550 Florida St/Boston College OV 61' 1st H
561 UIC (+14) 563 Baylor (+9) (-105) 565/566 Stanford/Arizona State UN 130 566 Arizona State (-10') Stanford down to 8 scholarship players. Fields and Green had 56 of the 68 pts on Thurs at Arizona. Nightmare for the Cardinal taking on an ASU club that has lost 2 straight at home as home favs. 569 Youngstown State (+10') 572 Northeastern (PK) NE lost as a near DD fav at home to Drexel (who swept NEastern). Expect a better effort today. This is a statement game for NE to show they belong with ODU and VCU at top of the CAA. 679/680 Siena/Marist UN 136' 681/682 Rider/Fairfield OV 139'
