$4 Still like appy st -9 over big comeback shitadel? it looked like the shitadel had given up couple weeks ago.
#5 Furman -1? revenge for wofford but hmm
#6 w.carolina +5. maybe they peeked at this game at the half the other night? does cc need this game?
guess that's it for now. miss those big write ups. i also will be taking sd over the zags. thanks for the response nropp11
No clue on VCU/James Madison. Not sure either team shows up with any interest.
Like Creighton (have a lot this year). Not worth it. No clue what McDermott's done with the program.
Hit Loyola the other night, guards finally showed up for once in impressive fashion and caught Valpo in a letdown. Not sure what they do at Butler. Decent letdown spot, but the game on everyone's minds for the last couple years (and even this year) is Butler. Think the 12 is about right. When Loyola has been good, they have been really really good. When they've been bad, they've been really really bad. Not worth the risk I don't think.
Only way to play Appy State is to go against them. From day one of practice last year, they focused on Charleston. No other team compared to the amount of time they talked about that team as you could tell from the post the other day. This is a big letdown spot. Do they have the talent? Absolutely. Just not interested in playing against the emotional victory the other night (and yes, the ML was a nice investment)
I can't play against Wofford, but it would be a nice spot to do so I think w/ Furman. Sorta like Illinois, shoot well and win. Don't shoot it well, not really much else that can win them the ballgame. Wofford's complete, as in team dynamic. They can win in other areas that most of these teams can't, and with that, you get value.
WCU/COC...Southern Conference tournament is pretty much set. Neither team depends on anything. Sort of shocked that COC was -7 at Appy at a lesser # here, so I think it holds value as I put a better value on Appy than WCU. WCU will have opportunities to score, just aren't as solid in that department as Appy. Think the line's right, might even side with COC, but not having anything to play for and the second roady keeps me off.
No clue on Zaga/SD. Think it's a nice letdown spot for Zaga, but they could sit on the bus and outscore San Diego. I realize SD upset St. Mary's a few games back, but this Zaga team doesn't rely on the 3-point shot as much and should have plenty of openings in the lane. SD has also played Clara/St. Marys/Portland back to back, so I would imagine Zaga's going to push the ball up the court and do it quite often. Just a different style of team, really than what SD can match-up with.
