I think this one sets up nicely. I love Michigan's team this year, but I think they will run into a buzz saw tonight. A freshman point guard in his first true road game against a smothering D combined with a Maui hangover. I expect MI to be a heavy public pick due to their performance in Hi-waya and "VA hasn't played anyone." :mj07:

I'll sit back and watch this one drop to -1 or pk :0003 then I will jump on the Cavs.

very good points. I was originally thinking Mich so the way I've been going fading myself may be the best strategy.

This is a great week or two to find some teams playing their first games in a hostile environment. Always a good angle to go against some teams in this situation.

Thanks for the feedback FCP, I enjoy your posts. I love the way Michigan is playing and they were pretty tough winning 4 out 6 of their last road games last season (i think) to get into the tourney. However, I put a lot of stock in the PG position and don't think the Frosh is ready for this type of defensive pressure in a hostile environment. This will also be their 4th game in 9 days. Gotta believe all the travel takes a toll.

Line moving the other way, now -3 at 5D

Sorry, but I'll take Michigan and the points. Believe some of the action is base on unranked team being favored against a ranked team. Hardaway is the best player on the court and like Michigan SU. Anyway, one of us will be happy.

We'll see how it plays out. Should be a grind it out game in the 50's and will come down to who executes in the final mins and hit their FTs.
