Will add as I cap them. . . but these two are easy to pick as they are line moves vs. a consensus the other way:

Nevada pk over UNLV
Vand -3 over Indiana (I will wait on this line to come down)

Vandy line moved two full points at Stardust in a half hour! Nevada looks great to me. . . I think they stick it to their rival. Both above average plays.

Opinion Play but not touching this game until maybe halftime if I see something:

NAU +25 over Arizona. . . Can Arizona win by 25 if they want? Yes. . . will they? That's the question. I think Arizona uses this game just as they did with the exhibition game against Nike to try different lineups especially at the forward positions to determine who can help out Frye down low. Should see a lot of Kirk Walters at center without Frye underneath leaving great opportunities for NAU since he is not yet experienced and is very thin since he is just coming out of high school. I think NAU puts up a lot of points and enough to cover this huge spread. Gotta remember that Olsen also has a nephew on his team now and when Arizona gets a big lead, he will be thinking in the back of his head when a good time would be to get his nephew in the game. Expect to see the bench warmers on the floor with 2 to 3 minutes to go if Arizona is around 25 points ahead.

Wish I could get a total on this game as I would likely take the over if it looked right.

Small plays:

Pepperdine pk over Colorado. . . home court advantage is everything in this one IMO

Manhattan -14 first half over Columbia. . . should be close to a 20 point lead at the half then cruise control the 2nd.

Final play unless something comes up tomorrow:

SW Missouri St. -1 over South Carolina. . . SC was has been outrebounded by Navy and Idaho this year. . . that's horrible. Boht teams can shoot the ball, but only one has proven so far that they can rebound. Above average play.

5cents heres my 2 cents

5cents heres my 2 cents

nevada looks good, an old HS star from my neck of woods is coaching NEV, they have 4 solid starters back and unlv has 2 back and barely beat green delaware st at home ... if pack stays focused following uconn game they should win ...


also think cal riverside getting 15.5 aint bad vs my hometowners

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's entirely possibly that UofA will have a 25 point lead at some point during the game, then you'll start seeing guys like Walters and Malbach in, just trying to get some pt.

Nickel UofA +15.5 vs ASU...? Looks kinda high to me any insight:shrug:

Yeah. . . really like Nevada tonight but just can't pull the trigger all the way yet. . . too early in the season and who knows, maybe UNLV will show us something tonight.

STSTRL and Horns:

I was wondering if Vegas knows just how tough NAU plays their larger in-state rivals? They released this game at 29 from LVSC! I couldn't believe it! Arizona will be a good team this year, but I think they may be a little overrated to start the year at #4 because they have an obvious weakness up front (if only Ndubi Ebi put off the NBA for a year). It will take some time to work Kirk Walters in the mix and unless Fox is leaps and bounds better than last year (if he pulls a Chris Rodgers because Chris looks like a completely different player so far) then I don't see how Vegas can just throw out such a high line to start.

That ASU line does look a little high as well but luckily we have some time to see how both teams look before that game comes up.

Should be a fun game to watch tonight. . . I'll be interested to see how Frye holds his own before facing a much better Florida team on Friday.

Looks like the wiseguys hit Arizona tonight :lol:

I may start to lose respect for those linemoves as this one doesn't make sense to me IMO. . . I see no value in thinking Arizona will win this game by over 25 as they will certainly play the reserves a ton if and when they get up to this point.

We'll see. . . maybe Arizona wins by 40! lol

Took Vandy at 3. . . thought the line would come down further but I'm ok with laying this number.

Posted Pepperdine above. . . hate going against Volfan and some others, but like the fact they are coming off a tough loss to Dayton. Small play but the wiseguys hit Pepperdine so we'll see what happens.

Opinion Play Only:

Arizona/NAU over 82.5 second half. . . Arizona isn't even shooting that great and they put up over 50. . . both teams are shooting horrid from 3 (especially NAU) and yet the total hit 84.

Lute doesn't even seem to care given his halftime talk on TV so I expect the same up tempo and a lot of points. Not playing it though.. . . played too many games tonight as it is!
