All Kansas St had to do was be 4-21 from 3pt range. For a team that shoots nearly 40% from 3, you'd hope they could make 4 of 21. But no. Only 3. Day changer.
2* Richmond Spiders -1.5
Fordham has played the easiest schedule of anyone in the country thus far, so their defensive numbers aren't nearly as impressive as they may seem. The Spiders are coming off back to back losses, so a good time to get right, but the spot for the Rams isn't great. They just lost at Dayton and host George Mason next, two of the better teams in the A10. Tough spot.
1* Seton Hall Pirates -2.5
Creighton comes in winners of 4 straight, but they are 1-2 on the road, and that lone win is @ a not very good Xavier team. The Pirates defense is top 15 in the country and they turn their opponents over almost 25% of the time, and have a block% of 20.1 which is best in the nation. The Jays don't have a Kalkbrenner or Ashworth to lean on when they need baskets anymore, and Dix hasn't stepped up to be that guy yet. The Pirate D overwhelms the Bluejays, in the most hostile environment they've been in to date this year.
2* Marist Red Foxes -3.5
Smash spot for Marist. They've lost two straight, the last one at St Peters in a game they defintely shouldn't have lost. Iona is coming off a BIG win vs Siena at home, and now hit the road to play the best defense in the league. Marist has to have this game to stay in the top half of the league, and stop the bleeding. Foxhole spot for the Red Foxes.
5* Missouri State Bears -1.5
The travel for New Mexico is next level bad. They flew from New Mexico, to Miami and played Friday. Now are back in a different time zone just two days later, to play a Bears team that has won 4 straight and are playing very good defense at the moment. This game kicks off the teeth of their schedule, and they will play 5 of their next 7 on the road, so wins won't be coming easy. Got to take this one this afternoon.
