November 7th:
W&M @ St. John's
EKU @ Miss State
Valpo @ Arizona
-Miss State and Arizona should be big favorites, while St. John's should probably be between 6 and 8.
leans:
W&M-- Tribe returns their backcourt with an impressive 3pt shooter (45% in 2010), also have a talented sophomore big guy who can play in the post despite short minutes last year. St. John's with a ton of youth after losing 10 seniors, and a bunch of grade problems with people who may not be eligible. Only one player returns from the rotation, Stith, who played just north of 12 minutes per game and only averaged 3.3ppg. Lavin's health is a question, too.
Would love DDs, doubt we see it that high though
fade Lavin and AZ...
AZ is young and pretty weak up front... Not to mention AZ is currently a poor FT shooting team... so to cover that 13.5 pt nut FT will be big...
later in the yr I expect AZ to be stronger but the -13.5 is too much chalk and based off of last yrs performance... public will buy that one up...
