Indiana -5 over Cuse ***
The big question every one is talking about is" can Indiana handle the 2-3 zone".My question is can Cuse handle the Indiana defense...Cuse's 2-3 is more designed to stop the perimeter with its big gds and long fds...their weakness is post defense...some 2-3 zones pack it in to stop players scoring in the paint...the type of team Boe has doesn't do that...they contest the shots... Cal and Montana shot 8-52 from the 3.Indy has Zeller at the post...adjustments have to be made..and when you do that that causes weakness's elsewhere....Indy shoots 40% from the outside...think they get the ball into Zeller and he kicks out to who ever drops down to help....Cuse offense is hot and cold...MCWilliams and Triche have been erratic scoring...Cuse has struggled vs pressing teams..think Indy defense will cause problems for Cuses offense...Cuse has lost too good defensive teams...Loiues,Geotowns,etc..Ola,Watford,Hull,etc will score enough vs the zone....and a team that has no inside post presence going against a Zeller could be in trouble.
Miami -5.5 over Marquette ****
Canes got there scare vs Illi...Marq has been hanging on with last second wins to long..think in last 6 or 7 games it has come down to last possession plays in 4 of those....Larkin and co will be to much...
Ohio St -3 over Zona ***
Zona has great gd in Lyons and Hill inside can score...but Craft can even out with Lyons and Thomas is better then Hill...but OSU has that front line of Thomas,Thompson,Ross and Ravenal..all 6'7 and 6'8....Zona will have trouble inside...Zona also turns it over a lot...Bucks will take advantage..
Wichita -4.5 over LASalle **
Tough game...Wichita can rebound and LaSalle can't..but LaSalle won its last 2 games being out rebounded...La has that 4 -gd attack which cause match up problems..think the Shockers have more depth and inside play....they play tough defense and rebound...and Early played for a HS school in my league and went to Sullivan CC....watched him in HS and juco and he can score...couldn't play any defense back then...think maybe that's why he comes off the bench but is still their leading scorer...
Today like all the favorites..tomr all the dogs
Oregon +10
Mich St +2
Michigan +2
Fl Gulf +13
