Shooter's 3/22 NIT, CBI and CIT NIT:
621/622 Nevada/Rhode Island UN 156'
622 Rhode Island (-8)
Nevada won surprisingly at Wichita State. Now they had to go back home and now travel all the way across the country to play at Rhody. This game is at 3 PM for the Wolfpack. Both teams are running teams, but oftentimes, two running teams make for a low-scoring game this time of year. I like Jim Baron better than this Nevada coach, who I'm not a huge fan of. He has two first-round picks and another guard who will eventually get drafted and they couldn't even win the WAC.
623 UConn (+4')
Lots of people going against UConn off their very close win at home over Northeastern. VT was able to get up enough to easily beat Quinnipiac. I go contrarian here from traditional thinking that UConn will pack it in here.
CBI:
632 VCU (-12') (-103)
A whole lot on Charleston here. They played Richmond to a 2-pt game LY so surely they can hang within 13 at VCU right?
Charleston allows 48% shooting on the road and VCU holds opp to under 40% at home.
Charleston "chucks and ducks" by shooting a lot of 3's. Bad strategy here.
634 IUPUI (-6)
IUPUI is excited for this game. Princeton is a big name for them to play in their cracker-box gym. IUPUI's 2 home games they lost this year were at Conseco Fieldhouse and not in their home facility.
635 Morehead State (+2) (-120)
Boston U won at Oregon State and now come back home and have to get up for Morehead State? Morehead is a better team especially on defense and rebounding. BU caught an Oregon State club that won his tournament LY and could have cared less. They shot 38/67 in that game. That will decrease dramatically here.
CIT:
640 Marshall (-9) (-105)
Marshall barely got by Western Carolina LW and now they have Appy St who swept WCU this year. Surely Appy St can hang here if WCU did right? :rolleyes:
