Thursday Games...

[Destructor D]

Realize I won't have much time to post tomorrow so playing a few games now?

Washington +4.5 for 5* - UCLA is the better team, but UDub can finish 10-8 in Pac 10 with a win tomorrow (they should whip USC). Huge game for Huskies and like their chances.

Michigan State -3 (-120) for 5* - Spartans are finally healthy, but have looked like crap. Still, when you look at overall talent, they really do outmatch this Iowa club by quite a bit. Iowa is struggling down the stretch and don't see them winning on Senior Night in East Lansing. Realize Michigan State has a couple brutal home losses recently, but this is even more a reason I think the Spartans come focused tomorrow night.

Richmond +5 for 4* - Not a huge fan of this play after Richmond's recent play. However, Richmond still with an outside shot at NCAA tourney (might be real long shot after debacle @ RI), but expect them to play well vs. their biggest rival in a series which has been dominated by the home team going 7-1 ATS past 8 games.

Xavier +3.5 (-120) for 4* - Not wild about this play with Stainbrook out. It's tough to replace a guy who goes 6'-10" and 270 in the paint and also grabs 8 boards a game. However, Xavier has been a different animal at home this entire season and feel they become the 3rd team to knock off Villanova and solidify any doubts about Xavier making the big dance as they would have an impressive resume of quality teams beaten this year.

Cincy -4 for 5* - Was able to grab this before the line moved up this morning. Cincy really needs this game and IMHO they don't lose on Senior Night.

Nice work getting MSU at -3'. I'm not at all sold on the -5 that is prevalent now.

Also love Richmond at the 5' that is out there, though I could easily see them losing by 10-15.

Gotta mull Washington. I thought the line would be more likely to move to 5 than 4; I was wrong.
