thursday hoops!!

[mcity]

I have looked at these games....read about the teams involved....but with that said, you can only gauge what you think a team will be like. Teams obviously are different from year to year....departures to graduation or early entry to the NBA....new faces in new roles....freshman playing major roles on certain teams.....injuries....and what not all add up to going very small on these early season match-ups. Time and a couple of games will eventually allow us to grasp a better understanding of each team and allow us to evaluate each game with more confidence than we can right now. With that said, I'm looking at a couple of small plays for thursday...waiting for local lines....back this afternoon.

ytd: 0-0

One unit each *............local lines


Wake Forest and Memphis under 143 1/2......Wake Forest returns 51.7 pts. from last years squad while Memphis is returning 41.3. A lot of new faces in new roles for each team, coupled with the fact each team missing some key players and also some players playing with nagging injuries. New roles....new faces playing in the mecca of basketball on national tv could lead to some early jitters and less than stellar shooting and ill-advised shots.



Marquette and St. John's under 137.....more or less same reasons as above. Both schools lost key point producers and team leaders. Both teams usually defensive minded....with new leaders yet to be established, I look for a defensive battle tonight.


good luck to all in whatever you play!!!
