CU -2 1/2
This number is about 7 points too low. The Buffs have 8 seniors on scholarship and 10 all together. They return 100% of scoring and rebounding. More importantly, the Buffs had 17 steals vs. UNCW! With the Rams converting to a new "up-tempo" offense and with 2 freshman and 2 juco guys in the starting line-up, the Buffs should be able to force plenty of turnovers tonight. Layer is also switching defenses and pressing full court. CU has the experience to handle it. CU has won 5 in the series and the senior loaded team should not lose this one in Ft. Collins. Yes it's WAAAYYY early, but I think this is a strong play.
One more thing.. Mobey Arena isn't much of a home court advantage. CSU students care about about football and beer.. not hoops.
