Same you you Kirbs i just think this may be a good spot for UNC tonite gonna take a shot with them and i also am leaning towards V-Tech -5.5 any thoughts on this one?

Drexel +10

They beat VCU by 3 at home as a 1 point fave, have a better conference record, lose to Butler by 11, and now they are a 10 pt dog? Doesn't make sense to me.

Any insight on why South FL. lost to Cinn on 1-20-10

 cinn78- S F.L 70?

Most of the public are on WF but im leaning the other way

Looking for 3 plays tonight.

Alright, I lean USF for a few different reasons. First, USF is at home and Cincy is only 2-6 on the road. Sure, Cincy is coming off a win at UConn BUT Uconn played horrible in all aspects of the game. Uconnn shot 34% from the field, 50% from the FT line, was outrebounded 41-29, they gave up 17 offensive rebounds, and they had 15 turnovers. Plus, USF wants to make the tourney and their coming off 2 straight losses. The best player on the floor, Dominique Jones, will be wearing a South Florida uniform and I think he wills them to a win.

Next, we got Michigan. Michigan is much more athletic than this Iowa squad. I haven't watched Iowa really at all this year but I'm not sure they have anyone who can matchup with Manny Harris. Michigan does have a poor road record, but Iowa isn't stellar at home, just 8-8. Michigan is coming off a nice win at Minnesota, which is a pretty tough place to play. Michigan defeated Iowa 60-46 on January 30th. I expect Iowa's losing trend to continue.

VCU: I agree that the -10 might be a bit high. Especially with the way VCU has been playing the last couple games. They lost @ George Mason and @ James Madison. But now, they are back home with revenge on their mind and looking to get back on track and run through the conference tourney to the Big Dance. VCU plays a lot better at home (12-1). Only 2 of their 12 wins have been by less than 8 points. They have also have wins there against good Rhode Island and Richmond squads. I'm not sure which way to lean, so I'll be laying off this one.

Eastern Illinois: I like EIU simply for the fact that UT-Martin is a horrible team. They are 4-21, score 64 ppg and give up 76 ppg. EIU is a decent squad with wins against Morehead St. and Eastern Kentucky. Also, EIU defeated UT-Martin 60-46 on January 23.

Heya Pitt... I like your thinking on these games.  I believe NC is dead.  GT is very athletic and their guards and homecourt should dominate tonight.  I alos like SF and feel Cinci will come back to earth.  As for Michigan, I am steering clear.  They are just too inconsistent forme and something tells me Iowa plays well tonight and keeps it close.

Take a look at George Mason and Northeatern tonight.  I like both, big.

GL to you!
