OU -1.5 over Baylor **
Bears sic'em shirts weren't allowed on the court today...that's worth a point for OU..OU gds can score and run...inside Spangler is a monster and can hold off Jefferson and co...Clarke,Cousins,Hield,Woodward..to much for the bears to contain...
Zona st +2 over Stanford **
Carson and the rim protector Bach keep this close...
New Mexico -9 over Fresno ****
Like the Lobos tonite...lost a heartbreaker vs SD St the other day..Lobos have SIZE...tall,athletic and can score...Bairstow is 6'9 avg 20 pts a game...Kirk is the rim protector at 7'0...they have 125 blocked shots...Williams is explosive at 6'4...there other gds are all 6'3,6'4..Fresno needed a huge run last nite to beat AF by 2...think they used all their gas ....their top 5 scorers are all gds.. no inside presence at all...Lobos on a mission and win this by 20...
WV +3.5 over Texas *
WV moneyline +145 *
Texas won both games,has inside game that can dominate,Taylor a super pt gd,HolmesRidley etc...but away from Austin they are avg...WV coming off huge win vs KU..has 3 outstanding shooter in Henderson,Harris and Staten..Williams inside needs help...think they have more "mo" right now vs this young freshman-soph Longhorn team.....
New Mex St -13 over Seattle **
Aggies cannot have any people rushing the court tonite...already one player is suspended...but this team has been quiet and has 23 wins...Mullings is outstanding...can score and has ups..in the middle they have Nephawe and Bhullar 6'10 and 7'5...Bhu just lounges up and down the court in 2nd gear...but once he gets back on defense...wow..no one can shoot in the paint..he has 91 blocked shots and his partner has 50.
also 6'10 Dixon can play.. I remember last yr watching them vs Texas St...Mullings could be on ESPN top 10 hi-lites....Seattle is Umig who can score..Sunderhouse is there big man who comes outside...think the Aggies roll over Seattle...after all their bad press they need a big win...
UTA -3 over UL Monroe ******
Mavs can score with leading Sun scorer Dowell avgs 20 pts a game...Edwards inside can score and McClanhanon and Outler too...these guys can score against anybody..but they cannot play any freak'in defense...Iona of the southwest....but UL Monroe can't score...they have one scorer in Ongwal...UTA won both games..83-79 in OT... but in that game UL had Olatayo who scored 20 pts and 8 bds....but he blew his knee out and that ended UL's season...UTA won by 11 w/o Ola....UL avgs 64 pts a game and can't shoot FT's {63%- rank 343 out of 350 teams}...you don't have to be a great defensive team if the other team can't score...think UTA just out scores UL....Dowell went 1-11 from the 3 in their loss to so bama the other nite...just drive the ball to the hoop tonite....
Best play... UTA
