Can you give me some positives about No. Illinois? I know everything looks bad being 0-8 at this point, but its seems like they have good length and size at Guard... I have already laid on the Over 144 but I am debating whether to add... Basically can you include in your analysis how there Guards have played so fr this season if you know...
Middle of the road tempo team, do they have a chance to step it up against Depaul, one of the worst roads teams in NCAAB?
GL on your plays tomorrow... Great bounce back this month...

If you paid attention at all to the breakdown of VCU and Richmond last Friday, there is a good chance that you came away with the sense that Richmond really isn’t the easiest team to prepare for from an offensive and defensive standpoint unless you have the familiarity of having faced it before. Iona has faced it once around this time last year in an 81-77 double overtime thriller. So the familiarity is there. Along with that, Iona’s had the benefit of adding to the same roster that played well in that game while Richmond has lost a few key pieces. While a large factor of that analysis was built on the matchup of Weber & Anthony and how Shaka approached the gameplan, this one sort of branches off of that. Kendal Anthony can score when nobody is able to guard him. He should get points today as Iona’s lack of effort on the defensive side of things isn’t the best. The problem is, he is a defensive liability on the court when he sees action. Yes, he’s quick and his speed can account for mistakes, but this Richmond defense is worse with him on the court because of his size. He more than likely can’t stay with Machado in this game, which leads me to another point. I took VCU in that game because they attack relentlessly. Teams that attack and continue to attack are more adept to beat this Richmond style of defense time and time again down the court, and Iona should have no trouble from the start. In looking at Iona, the road trip here basically comes to an end, they go home, start up finals, and then hit the road again. It’s a tough stretch for them, no doubt. I played Marshall on Sunday because of their defensive system, along with the fact that Iona was coming off an overtime victory at Denver while still travelling and put up a great effort to get back in that game, let alone win it. They tanked the 2H at Marshall which was probably expected against a more physical team and a team that has just as good of offensive efficiency from the guard position. With that loss, even being on the road, this is an extremely good opportunity to re-focus and bounce back against a team they’re familiar with and against a team they’ll like facing. With Richmond here, even with revenge, they’re just in a bad spot. Not only are they coming off a beatin’ in their big rivalry game of the year, but they’re coming home to an empty arena. Richmond students are gone for the break. This game is an early start time of 3pm, so most ticket holders will be working. Not really sure what to guess on the crowd, but I can make an estimated guess that it won’t be the same as usual, which is key. When you go on the road to a rival and get beat pretty badly, you need to have a sense of urgency and some emotion going into an opponent that will put points up on the board in a hurry, and I don’t think Richmond displays that sense with a young roster today. Coming off a loss, I should get an Iona team that does not settle for the outside shot as it did against Marshall, and a team that attacks more than ever, and that should be the difference in the outcome.

nropp -- I'm gonna be at the UC on Saturday for the UNLV/Illini game; any early feel on this one? Obviously the Illini want to come out and prove to their Chicago fans that they are for real, especially after that stinker against UIC at the UC last year. I'm thinking Illini (-5.5) or so?? Guess it may depend a little on what UNLV does tonight...

Positives and Northern Illinois don't really belong in the same sentence. They're 0-8, and actually lost to a bottom of the barrel D-3 team in an exhibition. They have the talent, and are probably a year or two from being decent again. Montgomerey really isn't playing his brand of basketball (which I'm going to assume when he gets his kids in here they will), which is a slow grind it out only get out and run when you have #'s type of game. Right now, they're playing a lot faster than what he likes in his system b/c of a lack of offense. They don't really have an offensive threat outside of Toler, and a ton of these freshman were basically begged to join the program after what's happened the past few years.
From a perspective of this matchup, there is a good possibility they get caught up in Depaul's hectic style and a good chance this is one of the ugliest basketball games of the year to watch. I give Depaul an advantage, but they're so helter skelter it's tough to trust them laying chalk in any instance.

Illinois has struggled for the better part of Weber's existence against teams who can beat them off the dribble. If UNLV settles for outside shots, then they're playing right into the Illini defense's hands. Should be a good game. If oddsmakers throw up the +5.5, you can probably guess which side I'll be on.

I generally don’t like dealing with games that involve suspensions and other various crap that goes into breaking down the game, so I’m looking past this one here. Call me stupid, but I don’t think Cincinnati loses much. Sure, they lose Gates in the paint, which is big defensive blow, and a big blow to both offensive and defensive rebounding, but outside of him, the other guys are more than replaceable. They still enter this game with three of their top five offensive weapons, and those three all are at the wing position which is going to make or break their chances of winning here. All three can shoot, although they have struggled this year, but all three are extremely efficient from the floor. Heading into the Marshall game a few weeks ago, these three all were posting offensive ratings above 100. Then they played Marshall, Miami OH, Georgia, and Xavier, four teams that excel in guarding the wings. Two of these players still post greater than 100’s, and all three posted greater than 100’s last year. Granted, a lot of what I’ve mentioned thus far includes having a guy like Gates in the paint, so I’m eager to see how these guards respond when they’re forced to score in a tough setting without that “out” that they’ve had before. As I’ve mentioned before, the loss of Duggins and Evans from last year’s squad for Wright State could possibly be the biggest loss for any team in the country from a defensive standpoint. They were the sole reason that Donlon’s defense looked as good as it has been the past few years. They could not only defend, but when they turned teams over, they were able to finish. This Wright State team is awfully young, and while the defense has been just as good, this offense has been pitiful. That is due in large part to not finishing. It’s really that simple with this team. Their only wins really come against teams that are mirror images, no offense and decent defense. Both teams are coming off a rivalry game, obviously one was a bit more magnified than the other. I’m curious to see if Cincinnati just folds, or if they take on the “Us versus the World” mentality. I do know one thing. Cincy has no depth, and will be a factor assuming this young Wright State team can keep the pressure on. Two things really determine this game. First, Wright State’s offense works through the post on a majority of the possessions, clearly a spot where Cincinnati is thin. Who is this advantageous too? I couldn’t really determine. In a way, it gives these Cincy guards a breather on defense when the ball is constantly being worked into the post. And Second, Cincy still has more athleticism and offensive talent on the court, especially at the guard spot. Playing Dixon, Kilpatrick, and Wright a few more minutes could possibly turn out to be a good thing and these three had 47 in last year’s meeting and that was when Duggins & Evans were on the court defending! It’s obvious I like Cincy in this spot, I just hate the outside hoopla. Why Yancy Gates is still a member of this basketball team is beyond me, and why Cronin keeps giving him second chance after third chance after fourth chance is also beyond me.
South Florida at Auburn
These two teams are mirror images of each other really. This Auburn team has yet to play anyone outside of a trip to Seton Hall where they don’t have the offense to score against that type of defense. South Florida’s sort of a different system this year. It’s rare this team has more offense than what it brings to the table from a defensive perspective but that’s the case this year as they’ve inserted some youth into the lineup. Just not sure what to make of Auburn yet this year. Clearly, in Barbee’s second year, the defense should improve and it has, just not sure if it’s a product of who they’ve played to date or that it’s actually that good. Both teams have offensive advantages in certain spots, so I would lean to the over...

. Auburn’s had 11 days to prepare. It’s rare a team takes 11 days off, and doesn’t find some weaknesses in it’s opponent, and it’s also rare for a team that likes to get up and down to come out of the gates in this one and play to the snail that USF wants to play. This one should be a bit more up and down with the similarities each team has. Would probably lean Auburn as well with revenge on a game they were called for 16 more fouls last year and only lost by 12. But, too many question marks.
UTEP at UNLV
I think this spot sets itself up for a nice under opportunity for quite a few reasons. I’ve commented pretty much all year on UTEP and the lack of offense they bring to the table. If you look at this team, a majority of the production is coming from the inside, both within the half court set and with offensive rebounding. If you don’t have good consistent guard play, going on the road and performing well is going to be a tall task. Along with that, this UTEP team is coming off of a period of more than ten days they had to prep for immediate revenge with New Mexico State. With all that time, and the revenge angle, they were able to beat a NMST team that they had already faced once this year. They have yet to face a defense in the top 100, let alone a defense as good as what UNLV brings to the court tonight. If I go back to the point I made about the lack of guard play, Tim Floyd has generally been a coach that has had good guards, so in past years he has forced the tempo and played a faster style. He’s well-known to “flip the script” on opponents. What I mean by that is that if his opponent wants to get up and down, he won’t let them. If his opponent wants to make it a half court game, he won’t let them. He’s been doing this for years, and one of the reasons he has been successful as he has as of late. This year, he really doesn’t have a choice. He doesn’t have the guards that can consistently run up and down the court and take care of the basketball. His only option this year is to slow it down, run the offense through the paint, and hope to score from there. As for UNLV, the offense and shot selection is dangerous enough to take any under in a game they’re involved in. However, with this one, they’re returning home after a tough physical contest with Wisconsin, and a rather large look ahead spot to playing Illinois in the United Center on Saturday. I feel I just need an ounce of a look ahead or a couple minutes of empty possessions for this one to have a chance at the under. I’m putting a ton of emphasis on UTEP really not showing up here, so the points look enticing too, but I just feel with the way that UNLV’s schedule has set themselves up, the defense should be a bit more reliable than its offense tonight.

Here's my last one of the day. Won't have time for the full go at it as I had hoped, but it is what it is. I'm playing Tennessee. After losing three straight, there's a good chance I see a better defense going on the road here, and a Cuonzo defensive system that should slow down the focal point of COC's offense, will get to that in a minute. This Tennessee defense has been pretty bad, but it's gotten better. They've played offensive jugernauts Duke, Memphis, Oakland, Pitt, & Austin Peay. Ok, Peay probably doesn't go in that category, but they're looking better. Point blank, they're walking into a place tonight and an environment that they've already seen this year in plenty of spots, so nothing new there. As for COC, it's been somewhat of a surprising start to the year without Goudelock, and they're obviously a bit more balanced without him. Matchup of the game is Golden on Lawrence at the PG position and a spot I give to Tennessee. Lawrence was the least used COC player last year in terms of offense for this team, and he's been thrust into a starting role and he's excelled. He currently has the best offensive efficiency rating on the team, and while he doesn't score often, the PG is a key position in Cremen's offensive scheme, so he has the ball more often than not. I'm expecting Golden to make a difference, and for Lawrence to be a bit out of control. Again, he's played well this year and I credit him for that. But he hasn't gotten into the high tempo pace this one should be played at, and that's the key. COC has yet to play an offense anywhere near the top 100, and while they did win at Clemson, that's a totally different type of ball game and style than what Tennessee brings in. A tiny bit of revenge for Tennessee as COC took them out on their home court last year, but that game came directly before Memphis and a game where Goudelock went off. Don't get me wrong, this COC squad is pretty potent offensively. But they haven't faced a scenario where they are going up against a potent offense either.

I'm hoping for any points I can get on UNLV, but probably expecting a PK situation regardless of tonight's outcome. The game really comes down to one thing, and that's how UNLV approaches the game from an offensive standpoint. IF, and that's a big IF, UNLV doesn't settle for the outside shot and they're able to break down the Illinois defense and attack the rim, they win this one pretty easy. Illinois has struggled for the better part of Weber's existence against teams who can beat them off the dribble. If UNLV settles for outside shots, then they're playing right into the Illini defense's hands. Should be a good game. If oddsmakers throw up the +5.5, you can probably guess which side I'll be on.

Thanks for the input -- I'd been playing Loyola (have a friend of a friend who's the team manager) a lot this year, of course until the game you pounded them and they came back.

Nropp. Any thoughts on the ole miss game. Thinking about parlaying money lines of ole miss and Iona. Any thoughts on ole miss.
Looked at it for a bit. Came away with the understanding that Ole Miss is pretty much like Wyoming in terms of team makeup. Both have really good defenses, and both will go five minutes at a time without scoring because their offenses blow goats. UL Lafayette's had the ability to stick with teams for stretches of games, but they're in a similar position. Bad offense, decent defense. Tough game to call, teams match up pretty well.
Probably feel safer with Cincinnati on the ML as dumb as that sounds.

nropp - capped the game and was leaning OVER. by the looks of your write-up, you like the play?
Yah. Should have a nice chance of going that way. Only thing I can see happening is Cuonzo taking Lawrence out of the "game manager" role, thus limiting the COC offense, which I need to happen for Tenny to get this one. I think.

Neil - Agree with Iona as I beleive they are still limping from the VCU game and I do not see Anthony and Lindsay keeping pace with Machado and Glover. I actualy like CoC to handle Tenn. Went to some games in Charleston (granted it was in 1993) and that is a tough little place to play. They are scrappy and feeling their oates at 7-1 and Tenn just does not seem to have a true go to guy offensively. Cincy, despite the suspensions, still has the best players on the court and should have little trouble handling Wright State today despite the outside distractions. BOL my friend and thanks for great insight!
