Another miserable day yesterday. Hopefully someone is making money off this garbage.
1*Campbell/Penn St Under 155.5
Penn St has great offensive numbers, but have come at the mercy of bottom feeder teams. This is the last tune up before Big10 play starts and I'd expect coach Rhoades to have defense on the minds of his guys. The Camels offense is atrocious. Nearly a third of their offense comes from the foul line. The Nittany Lions are forcing offenses into the 3rd longest possessions, and that's bad news for a bad offense. I don't expect Penn St to get to 90, nor do I expect the Camels to get to 65.
1* William and Mary/Duquesne Over 169
Both teams are top 25 in tempo, Bill and Mary plays a little bit of defense, but this being in Pittsburgh help the Dukes offense, who already sit as the 27th most effective FG% team in the country. The Tribe also played just two days ago, and the Dukes have had a week off, so they will be ready to get out and run, against the tired legs of WM. Pace is frenetic, just need the shots to go as they normally do.
1*Virginia Tech Hokies +1.5
I'm backing the better coach, in a more desperate spot. The Hokies don't want to drop 3 straight, and they are coming off playing two very good defenses in St. Marys and VCU. Now they catch a little break with this Cocks team whose most impressive win is in OT over 212th ranked Southern Miss. Hokies are better coached, better tested, and should win this game.
1* Cornell/George Mason Over 153.5
Cornells offense FLIES and they take a TON of 3s and they make ALOT of them. Mason is slow, but efficient, and should get some easy buckets for themselves off of Big Red turnovers. If they do have to play in the half court often, that isn't a big deal as Cornell comes in at 252nd in defensive efficiency.
1* Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks +12.5
ECU probably shouldn't be favored over anyone, let alone by over a dozen points. Their lone DI win of the year was in the opener and that was a 3 point win over 231st ranked Georgia Southern. The Hawks have zero to write home about on offense, but their defense is 70th in effective FG% and 18th in 3pt% defense. Just a whole lot o' points for a bad team to be laying.
2* Duke/Florida Over 156.5
Duke takes the first good look they get in a possession, and Florida loves to run and play in transition. Both teams will turn plenty of defense into offense, as they know they have the nations eyes on them tonight. Should be a run and gun, lots of 3s, game played in the mid to upper 80s.
