4-6 yesterday.
Southern Illinois +10.5
I like the team that got to play yesterday. They did nothing to stop Indiana St yesterday, so hopefully that is what is beat into their heads last night/this morning, and they come out spirited. Ben McCollum and his gang of DII guys are getting their first taste of Arch Madness, so I would expect some nerves.
Radford -4.5
Presbyterian won 2 weeks ago @ Radford, and that wont sit well with the Highlanders as they only dropped 3 games at home all year. Near immediate revenge spot, on a neutral floor, after splitting the regular season, and we are getting the better team by 1.5 possessions. I like it.
Illinois St -1
Another team that got to play yesterday, while Belmont is playing their first game of the tournament. I think it's a very even matchup and I think the difference is that the Redbirds already have a game under their belt on this floor.
Georgia St/Marshall Over 151.5
166 and 171 in the first two matchups, two teams that play with top 100 pace. Georgia St got comfortable in this gym yesterday, and they don't defend anyone, so the Herd should be able to get whatever they want. The fact the number is as low as it is, is a little frightening, but I think this game gets to 160s.
Charleston Southern +6.5
It's hard to beat the same team three times in a season, and that is what Asheville is trying to do. Getting 2+ possessions with a team that is looking for double revenge on a neutral floor is very enticing. The Bulldogs only won the first two matchups by 3 and 8, so 6 points is very doable for the Bucs.
Bowling Green -3.5
Falcons won 4 straight and 7 of 9, so heading in the proper direction. WMU, not so much, only winners of 4 of last 9. Senior night and the better team. BG won by 4 @ WMU.
Northern Illinois +14.5
Too many points for a not very good Chips team to be laying. NIU has played good teams tough on the road in the last couple weeks, so I'm riding the Huskies here.
Purdue/Illinois Under 160.5
I expect regression from Purdues offense after the 100 point showing, coupled with the Illinis ability to run opponents off the 3pt line. I think it probably gets close, but stays in the 150s.
Old Dominion +9.5
Monarchs have already won 2 games in the last 2 days, one over Texas St yesterday who is a formidable opponent. App St hasn't played a game yet and the double bye may be a curse. Too many points for a team that hasn't played on this floor yet for me to pass up.
South Florida/Memphis Over 151
Two of the fastest offenses as far as average possession length goes. Memphis clinches sole possession of the conference with a W, and I think PJ Haggerty puts on a show, and Dainja has a big night on his Senior night.
Boise St -6.5
Senior night for top 3 players for the Broncos, who are seeking revenge from a loss in Fort Collins earlier in the year. I think this one is a blow out.
Good luck everyone
