Penn's top player (Ethan Roberts) is out and their next best (TJ Power) is battling the flu which puts him at well below 100%.
Gonzaga -20.5
Horrible matchup for Kennesaw - They turn the ball over tons. The Zags do a great job of forcing them. Kennesaw made it to the tournament on second chance points. Zags are an elite rebounding team.
Hate chasing big numbers, especially in the tournament, but these two seem to stand out.

Illini played as expected - death by a thousand cuts. Zags looked disinterested and eventually managed to pull away against a very overmatched KSU. If this keeps up Texas will have their way with them.
Friday games
Hofstra +11.5 even with Hollaway, I just don't trust this version on the Tide. Hofstra shoots well, especially against drop coverage which is what Bama uses defensively.
Miami, Oh +11.5 - Miami playing with house money now. Vols should manage to control the game but the Redhawks playing with enough confidence now just to stay inside the number
