TilDawg26 · Answer

At first I thought the same. But I took a second look and here's what I came up with:

Va Tech: I like Tech to bounce back from two tough losses to Minnesota and Kansas St. URI hasn't beaten any team with a pulse yet as their only win came against Hofstra. URI is 93rd in rebounding margin (+4), 285th in turnover margin (-2.6), 328th in scoring defense allowed (78.6) and 333rd in FG% defense allowed (49.8%). Only advantage is rebounding for URI, but it's not much of an advantage if they allow opponents to shoot 50%.

Alabama: I like Alabama's defense to beat Dayton down in this game. Alabama has a huge rebounding advantage against a Dayton team that ranks 143rd in FG%. Dayton ranks 230th in rebounding.

Xavier: The Musketeers have Tu Holloway. He can take over this game single-handedly. However, the Musketeers rank 83rd in ppg, 11th in rebounds pg and 49th in FG%. Holloway and Lyons will be too much for the Bulldogs to handle.

Duke: Duke is coming off a very tough part of their schedule (Tennessee, Michigan, Kansas, Ohio St all away from home). They will be happy to be home at Cameron where they haven't lost a non-conference game in a decade (going for 90 straight tomorrow). The team is rested and I expect Coach K to have his team ready for a Colorado St. team that ranks lower than Duke in rebounding at 325th. If Duke can keep the turnovers to a minimum, there's no reason they don't win this game by 25.

Mid Tenn St:

La Salle:

Wichita St:

Shit I hit submit before I finished for some reason.

Mid Tenn St: The Blue Raiders rank 29th in ppg, 86th in rebounds, 28th in assists and 1st in FG%. They are 4-0 on the road and their only loss came in double OT against Belmont. I will take that over a UAB team that ranks 336th in ppg, 204th in rebounds and 321st in FG%.

La Salle: I'm riding the Explorers based on how bad Towson is. Two of La Salle's three losses came at Villanova in OT and a 4 point loss at Pitt. Towson hasn't lost a game by less than double digits.

Wichita St: I see this as the opposite of a let down. I like them to be up and ready for Tulsa after pounding UNLV. Interesting Wichita three straight wins vs. Tulsa with three straight losses. I like the momentum. Give me Wichita.
