figured i better get started early as there's a chance i'll be gone this weekend helping a friend move a sailboat south, provided he gets a motor mount problem worked out today.
winner last night as sam houston st held on for a cover against drexel. as suspected, game middled against both the opening and halftime lines. lesser plays on temple and montana st fell short. here's a few early plays i like:
evansville -3-: see ie's thread for more details, eveb though some early herd money has dropped the opening line from -4.
uncw +6: i'll bite again on the seahawks even they may have lost a little line value after their 3-0 showing in laramie in the nabc classic. from all reports the team seems to be loose and confident after the tourney. from laramie, they had a leisurely bus ride through the rockies instead of a long road trip west. they arrived in denver yesterday and had a strong practice on the buffalo's court. playing three consecutive games at wyoming evinces a tolerance to playing at boulder's elevation. colorado returns everyone this year, but the sucked last season and are picked to finish 11th this year in the big 12.
western carolina +11: see tiger's thread.
tenn tech +9- golden eagles last year's ovc champs return a strong squad and are expected to contend again. dayton also has a powerful team back this year however, flyers have 14 games scheduled before jan 1st and coach has stated intentions to play a deep rotation in early games in order to avoid fatiguing key players later on. should be enough to keep scrappy techsters close.
austin peay/wky over136: govs showed some defensive shortcomings in exhibition season and coach loos has stated intentions to go with smaller, faster lineup in bowling green. expected half court press and uptempo should push this one over the total. pinny has this one at 136 +111 so you may get better number later.
i'll be around for awhile and even if i sail i'll try to post provided i can get an aircard signal on the laptop.
