Taking Kansas state tonight -5 at home over Cal, Kansas st is really scoring , they are averaging 95 pts a game and giving up 67, and they are shooting the ball really well and much better than Cal is right now as they are shooting 55.8% and a eff shooting % of 67 and they are shooting the 3 at 56% making 14 a game Cal is shooting 45% and an eff shooting % of 51% and they are shooting the 3 at 28% making 7 a game and Kansas st is avg 56 points in the 2nd half of games , Cal is going to have to shoot the ball really well I think to have a chance here tonight, they do have some players, but I just think Kansas st gets this one tonight by 11+, if they shoot the 3 at even 40% they should cover this ,
Kansas st-6
also I am going to go with Cornell -3.5 buying 1 point here -130 but I do think Cornell gets this by 8 + they have played 2 very tuff road games and were in each one, as they lost at Kent st 110-102 and then lost at Illinois st 76-65 in the Illinois st game they just shot the ball poorly, but were up against a good defensive team, they shot just 35% 21/60 but did get 5 more shots than Ill st, and they only shot the 3 at 19% 6/31 and they got out rebounded by 8 but did have 10 offensive boards, they had fewer turnovers than Ill st and they got better after the Kent st game where they had 17 to's but of the 17 11 were from steals, Kent st was able to steal the ball 11 times, that's not good, but the Kent st game showed that Cornell can shoot the ball as they shot 52% 33/63 and they shot the 3 at 47% 19/40 so I expect Cornell to take a lot of 3's tonight, and Lafayette only takes about 20 a game and they make 5, and Cornell is avg almost 13 a game made while taking almost 34, I think playing 2 very good teams on the road like they did and being competetive should help them here, Lafayette did get blown out by Texas but did hang at St Joe's losing by about 10, but Cornell has not played a weak team to get a win yet, they are 0-2 and I am taking a chance here that they want to get a win before starting their home stand, they were picked 3rd in their Conf this year and Lafayette was picked 7th if Cornell shoots like they did vs Kent st they should get this by 8+ they have beaten Lafayette the last 4 years but the games have all been within 10 pts ...hey soon there will not be anymore teams -35 that we all can jump on, and we are going to have to bet on teams giving less than 10 that's when the capping gets a little bit harder in my opinion
Cornell-3.5 gl
tonight I am adding Charleston Southern +2 at Alabama AM, just think Alabama AM has too much firepower , they have a good group back this year from last, and they have been scoring a lot of points, also as I said in my write up today about why S Alabama lost, they only had 8 assist to 17 for CMU, and they did not rebound offensively and CMU got 9 more shots , and yes S alab won but didn't cover when they should have making 9 more ft's , and shooting a higher %,
Charleston come in off a 96-86 win at Citadel, in a game where they had 24 assist, and 40 reb's and 14 offensive to Citadels 9 assist, 27 reb's 6 offensive, and they took 66 shots to just 57 for Citadel , Alabama AM has new coach, I think he was at Grambling last year and he brought 6 of their players with him....again I like how Charleston played and shared the ball and rebounded and in that game both teams shot 50% both shot 40% from 3 so it was the other things that lead to Charleston winning on the road I think they do it again was thinking OVER or TT over for Charleston, the total is 153 , Charleston TT is 75.5 76.5 I think they get 80
Charleston 83-76
Charleston +2
