Wed 12/1 CBB 12-9 last night.
291-265-7 (+6.3)
525 George Wash (+13)
GW lost at home to CAA bottom-feeder UNCW and Hampton before that. They are now without 2-guard Lasan Kromah, their best player. I think GW pulls together for the first game without him.
527 Northeastern (+8) 1.5*
Providence is still atrocious on defense, esp in the interior. Northeastern is smart team. Providence still plays too herky-jerky and dumb.
530 Drexel (-8') (-105)
Saint Joe's has won 3 in a row after a horrible start where Western Ky ran them out at home and they were never in game at Penn State. Drexel really good defensive team per usual and Saint Joe's starts three true freshmen.
531 Fordham (+14') (-103)
Harvard off win over Big 12 Colorado where they shot the lights out. Also have a weekend trip to Michigan on deck. Total dead spot here against a club that won all of 2 games LY. I've never thought much of Amaker and Pecora is much better.
536 Miami OH (+7')
536 Xavier/Miami OH UN 128
Now at 127 or 126. Charlie Coles plays his usual murder schedule. Xavier has been living dangerously and is off triple OT win over Wofford. Miami got beat by 20 at Ohio St, but it was their best game of the year and they dictated tempo but were totally overwhelmed athletically.
537 Richmond/Old Dominion OV 122
Two good defensive teams. Should be close game decided by fouls late.
540 East Carolina (-5)
Charlotte stepped up and won by 20 vs. Radford w/out suspended Shamari Spears. They were on the road at Charleston Classic and then went all the way out to Corvallis, OR without a stop at home. They just got back home and now go on the road (granted not a far trip, but psychological disadvantage).
541 Wright State (+11)
Cincy crushed Dayton and held them to 34 pts, so surely they can crush the "B" team in the city of Dayton right?
