Just got done looking at these games fairly closely.
I would like to hear other's opinions as I'm not sold on either play, but strong leans right now.
Liking West Virginia ML (+105) right now vs. Miss State. Sure the Bulldogs have more talent, but WVU has a couple advantages IMO. The Mountaineers played at MSG just 2.5 weeks ago. They are also playing far closer to home and should have a few fans at the game (I know Morgantown is hardly next door, but WVU should have a few fans @ the game). Miss State is very tough at home, but not the same when they leave Starksville. Miss State is the better rebounding team and far more athletic. West Virginia beat the heck out of a solid Providence team and should have beaten Lousville @ MSG. I think Big East tourney experience will help the Mountaineers get the SU win.
Like Clemson ML (+105) in the later game. Air Force is awesome at home, but they become very average when they leave Colorado Springs. Game is also two times zones away for the fly boys. Biggest concern is Clemson being totally outcoached and Clemson missing too many FT's (terrible foul shooting club while Air Force is solid). If refs let the kids play, then Clemson should win this game easily... refs call it tight, then Air Force has a good chance as they shoot 77% from the charity stripe compared to 58% for Clemson. Clemson is a strong rebounding team while Air Force is fairly weak (get outrebounded by more than 7 RPG on the road)! Air Force also 2-6 ATS their last 8 games.
