Last Day's Picks
Today I'm leaning towards several games, but a couple stick out that I'm going to go ahead and take.
Missouri -7.5 (2.2 to win 2.0)
The Tigers have looked good so far this season, and their strength of schedule is more impressive than 'Nova. 'Nova lost to a good StL team, but has struggled even in some of their wins to lesser quality opponents. Missouri has handled most of their competition with relative ease including a N.D. and Cal team that aren't bad. I would have preferred to get it a little earlier, but I'm giving the points and taking Missouri.
Tulane -2.5 (2.2 to win 2.0)
I've noticed several posters on the boards here are going with the Terriers from Wofford, but I have to disagree. About the only thing Wofford has on their side is that they are playing at home. Tulane is scoring 12 more PPG than Wofford, they are giving up 12 PPG less than Wofford, they are averaging 10% better from the 3-point line than Wofford, and 10% better from the charity stripe. I know the game isn't played on an Excel spreadsheet as a statistical model, but Tulane comes out ahead in virtually every category. I'll give the points and go with the Green Wave!
