2 units.....northern iowa (+5) over iowa

*northern iowa sitting at 2-3, hawkeyes sitting at 6-0. but im confident this panther team can hang in the game and pull the upset. uni another one of those teams that is fundamentally sound, and im a sucker for teams that shoot the 3 well and shoot free throws well. panthers shooting an outstanding 77% from the line this year as a team. 3 of their top 6 guys in the rotation shoot better than 90% from the line to this point. i think hawkeyes are walking into a dangerous game here. going on the road to play a lower-tier in-state school can only spell disaster. nothing to be gained for iowa. have seen too many power conference teams fail in this spot. iowa doesnt strike me as a legit 6-0. they did beat louisville on the neutral court. gotta give em credit there. but hawkeyes are FT clankers (nobody on the team shooting better than 72%, and a team FT% of 65%). if this game stays close and low-scoring (very likely, as both there teams like to grind it out) then the home court edge comes into play and uni simply shoots the ball better than their in-state power conference brother. three of uni's first five gms have been decided by 3 pts or less. points have lots of value here.

if any west coast guys get a chance, someone try to explain that fullerton/southern cal line to me.

that line is so stupid that im almost thinking about playing usc.

trojans coming off the OT game is the only thing that scares me. line makes no sense though. im not debating the outcome of the game. just wondering how the hell the line is in the teens given usc's early struggles (and fullerton having that upset in pepperdine)

 

[Felonious Monk]

one thing i can never figure out is west coast basketball. no team is ever consistent out there.

you might see Fullerton winning that one by 13. who knows.

Gman great right up on Northern Iowa. I'm on them as well and was about to write it up myself.. Goold luck to us.

louthesz:

thanks for the info. i heard he was probable, but who knows. still think that line is a little strange, given usc's early trouble. for now i pass, but if line drops any more, might have to take a small shot on trojans simply on principle

lester:
nice to see another good capper on uni. gl man

 

[gman2]

im not going to out-think myself on this one. line does look strange, but gonna follow some good cappers on fullerton. cant ignore the fact that usc is laying DD off back to back overtime games. trojans not the most disciplined team. i expect them to lead by 15 at some point, but fullerton should settle inside this number. trojans have a tendency to leave the back door open.

1 unit.....fullerton (+13)

CONGRATS BUDDY!!:toast: :toast:

 

[gman2]

very pleased with the effort by uni. and when the uni started to pull away late, they made their free throws and didnt allow iowa a chance to get back into the game.

unofficial numbers from the line:
iowa 14-21 (66%)
northern iowa 18-22 (81%)

when you do the little things correctly, you can stay in a lot of games


rex --- glad i was able to help.

 

[gman2]

want to give a big thanks to a handful of west coast guys here who pointed me in the direction of fullerton. made for a great night when added to the northern iowa spread and moneyline. always nice to sweep em when you can. lookin at montana and butler for wednesday. still looking at some numbers though.
