Thinking about buying it up to 6.5 or waiting for live in-game for it to get around there. Give me a reason why Xavier wins by seven or more points.

They certainly will shoot better than 3 of 18 tonight and are a season-long 77% FT-shooting team. Someone, anyone, give me a reason why NOT to take Lehigh +6.5 (buying 2).

Duke weren't quick enough to keep him from driving to the basket. That won't happen with Xavier's slashing guards. Contain McCollom and Lehigh's chances of winning are done like dinner.

Veteran Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1016 Location: Pennsylvania	#6 Posted: 3/18/2012 6:24:32 PM Lehigh coming the most emotional win in history 48 hrs ago. That would be the reason you're looking for. buying points is NOT good $ mgmt. At the rate you're paying you'd have to win >60% to break even. Now of course xav will win by 5 tonight, but I'd still be right. I'm taking 'over' bec of lehigh reasons you mentioned and both relatively fast paced teams. GL

Dont see Lehigh who I respect winning 2 in a row against this kind of competition.....I dont think Lehigh is a 20 game winner in the ATL 10 who brought 4 teams to this Tourney.

Prospect Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 115 Location:	#12 Posted: 3/18/2012 7:00:47 PM C.J. McCollom, lehigh's highest scorer, is rather physically small, 6'3", 180 lbs. He will be stoped today by Xavier's big bodies, then no chance for lehigh to score. Xavier wins and covers spread rather smooth.
