Taking Saturdays off for most of the year I'd imagine. Too many games, and too much weird shit seems to happen on the weekends.
1*Kent St/Wright St Over 156.5
Wright St is not playing as fast as they did last year, and their defense has certainly improved, but their offense is still efficient as they dropped 92 yesterday on Radford. Kent St is very deliberate in what they want to do offensively and that's get up a quick shot, and get on the offensive glass. They dont but much effort, if any at all, on the defensive end. They have given up 95 or more in three of their four games.
1* Western Michigan/South Dakota Under 175.5
Thats a big number for two offenses that rank in the botton half of the country in efficiency. The pace will almost certainly be there for this to go over, but neither offense is stellar at putting the ball in the basket. Also, both defenses have put up some respectable numbers, vs very similar offenses.
1* UMASS-Lowell Riverhawks +30.5
Wake is down this year for starters, they just got beat in OT vs Michigan, and have a matchup with Texas Tech on deck. They haven't blown out their other two byes (beat American by 14 and Morehead St by 16). Lowell on the other hand has been chippy if you take away the UCONN game where they got dismantled by 60. I don't see Wake being focused on the task at hand and win this game by 20-25.
1* Radford/Cleveland St Over 161.5
Both of these teams played yesterday, Cleveland St gave up 102 to Kent St, and Radford gave up 92 to Wright St. Both defenses stink and will have fatigued legs which they will want to save for the offensive end. The pace will be there, just need some shots to fall, but I'm banking on a lot of easy ones around the rim, in a consolation game.
3* Houston Cougars -7.5
My write up for this is, Houston should win this game by 20+.
1* Marist/Harvard Under 129.5
Two EXTREMELY slow offenses, both in the bottom 50 of pace, and two rather effective defenses too. Neither team likes to shoot a bunch of threes, and both are very methodical on offense, waiting for the best shot. Should be a pretty good game with two stout defenses.
2* Colorado St Rams -3.5
I'm not sure where the love of Loyola is coming from, but they stink. Losers of 3 straight, which started with a loss to Mercyhurst, and an offense that is just lost. The Rams offense, while playing some butt ass teams, has the third best effective FG% in the country, the best FT% in the country and 4th best 3pt%. Number is VERY low which is kind of concerning, but Loyola just doesn't have it in my opinion.
4* Akron/Purdue Over 160.5
Back to the well on Purdue overs. Akron has zero issues on the offensive end, and while they will be outmatched in the paint, they can stroke it from outside. They play to a top 60 pace, and 9th shortest offensive possessions. Purdues offense is always "slow" but also always effective. They can shoot the lights out, and will get whatever they want in the painted area.
1*Miami/Florida Over 170.5
Another big number, but it's warranted. Miami has been over 100 in two of their three contests, plays at a top 15 offensive poss. length, and is 3rd nationally in 2pt%. Their defensive numbers are a little inflated from playing the likes of Stetson and Jacksonville, but Florida is gonna get theirs and they will do it quickly. 8th fastest tempo in the land, 35th avg off. poss. length.
