Wed 1/5/11 CBB

Wed 1/5/11 CBB 10-7 last night. 724 Purdue/Penn State UN 127 724 Penn State (+7) (-120) Penn State almost knocked off this team LY, but fell apart in the final couple minutes. Two good defenses here, especially Purdue. 725 Seton Hall (+11) 725 Seton Hall/Louisville OV 141' Father and son matchup here with Kevin Willard against daddy Ralph (Pitino mentor and right hand man).

731 Towson/James Madison OV 143' Towson got totally shut down by ODU on Monday and held to 47. They want to get out and run and JMU's motion offense can get quality shots against herky-jerky Towson. 734 Bill and Mary/Delaware UN 124 736 Charlotte/Richmond UN 129 736 Richmond (-13) Richmond off home loss to Bucknell and Charlotte off 2 OT win at Georgia Tech. Richmond must better team defensively. 737 Marshall (+11') 738 Marshall/UCF UN 137 Marshall has to be motivated to face the #19 team in the country, who is also undefeated. Marshall also has the motivation to face their former coach, Donnie Jones, who recruited most of them and left them after ONE year to go to UCF (UCF is a better job than Marshall). Tom Herrion, former Jamie Dixon assistant, will have this team prepared. 739 Harvard (+10) (-120) 741 UAB (+18) (-105) UAB is a very good defensive team. Temptation is to take Coach K over Mike Davis as a coaching mismatch. However, Davis has improved down there at UAB and he's always coached good defense. 744 Old Dominion (-7) 1st Half Northeastern was winning at JMU and then blew the lead, then came back only to lose in the end. ODU off bad performance at Towson (only 4-pt win).

747 Duquesne (-4') 749 La Salle (+2) La Salle may have gotten over the loss at Villanova finally after losing a few after that. Gallindeaux is also back. GW is erratic and can't be trusted as a fav. 752 Georgia St/UNCW UN 122'

783 NC State/Elon OV 141' 784 Elon (+12)

747 Duquesne/Saint Joe's OV 67 1st H 753 San Diego St (-10) (-120) SD St went through a stretch where they were starting slow and letting teams hang around that they should bury. I think they come out right away and put TCU away. 766 Rutgers (+4) 766 Marquette/Rutgers UN 140

785 Appalachian St (+10) Everywhere dealing +10 except Pinny dealing only +9'. Telling me something here.

762 UALR (-1) (-105) Played at this same Bonnies team on 11/14 and lost by 13. However, they had played late Fri night in a win at SMU and then had only one day in between games which was their travel day. Dallas all the way to New York and then bussing upstate to remote Olean, NY. Tough travel. 758 Tulane/Rice UN 130 756 Ole Miss/SMU UN 134 760 Saint Louis (-1) a 5-8 team favored over a 12-3 club? Hmmm.

802 Kansas (-33) KU let UT-Arlington hang around and Miami OH played them dead even for the 2nd H. Think they bury this UMKC team here.

725 Seton Hall/Louisville OV 73' 2nd H

763 Michigan/Wisconsin OV 117 764 Wisconsin (-12)
