Notre Dame -2.5 over the Hall
ND did beat the Hall by 10 a few weeks ago.ND dominated on the FT line.
Both teams are on a roll.ND's gds are Thomas and Carroll who are avg close to 40 pts combined.Halls gd's Allen and Barrett are avg 31 pts combined.
ND is ranked 3rd in scoring in the BE and 2nd inin 3 pt's.Hall is ranked 3rd in defense and 4th in rebounding advantage.
But matchups favor ND.Hall doesn't have a real inside presence.Whitney the frosh is playing good but they really score from slashing and shooting.ND also doesn't have a scoring presence.Francis at 6'10 can score but the other nite had 5 pts.Cornette is not a scorer but a defender and rebounder.
Think ND is a little overated and can't see them as 10th in the nation.But Brey is a solid coach.Thomas will handle the hall pressure and Carroll and co should be able to pull out a 6-8 pt road win.Also don't forget.The Meadowlands isn't really a home court.Hall will have 6,000 tonite in an half empty arena.Seats are far back so you don't get that real college atmosphere.
Tenn -13 over Mass
Think Slay and co give the Minutmen major problems tonite.Watson is a solid pt gd that will cause problems for Mass.Add Higgins and Holden to the gds spot and there is a lot of speed.Slay is the stud and I can't see Mass stopping him tonite.Crump at 6'10 will control the bds.
Mass has Rodgers as there only true scorer.Anderson needs to get hot.But Viggiano,Lee, and Lasme could be shut down tonite.
Tenn has had a tough time vs the SEC teams.But at home playing a team that struggles on offense from the A-10,I see Vols winning big tonite.
Louisville -10 over Cincy
Think Pitino will spank Huggy bear tonite.Cinncy has a solid defense but having major problems scoring other then Stokes.Cards will press,get a lead,and Pitino will try to run it up.
