Zaga -2.5 over West Vir ****
You have Zaga who always seems to win on the road vs WV who always wins its non conference games at home..but WV doesn't play to many 16th ranked teams in non conf games.Last yr on "left coast" Zaga destroyed them by 34 pts..Pango,Bell and a few others were apart of that team...WV lost its entire front line from lyr and its 2 top gds Staten and Henderson had a combined total of 3 pts in that game...and they played a lot of minutes.Of course they are better after getting a year under their belt...WV has been playing better losing to Wisky by 7,Mizzou by 8 and VT by a few..but Zaga has some solid gds in Pangos,Bell ,Coleman and Stockton..Huggy Bear does have his gds playing good defense but stopping these 4 is tough for any team to handle...but inside the paint is where WV could be in trouble.Dower 6'9 is so tough inside and 7'0 Karnowski takes up a lot of space...don't see WV front line handling them..think this game stays close due to the fact WV does play good defense and Harris has become a good outside shooter and Staten can penetrate but Zaga doesn't lose on the road...
Illi -16 over Dartmouth ****
If their is a more mystery team in the B-10 its Illi...they lost their 2 top gds from lyr. Groce brings in some transfers and some super frosh and they are just learning to play together..they got it all together in the Auburn game the other nite.Rice from Drake is having a great yr avg 18 pts.Abrams is a vet and one of their best players.Bertrand drives to the hoop as a 6'6 gd.But they have an air craft carrier in 6'11 Egwu who will dominate tonite...he is an aircraft carrier vs Ivy League teams buts get down graded to battle ship vs B-10 teams....Illi plays tough defense and rebounds...Dartmouth has all undersized gds in the Ivy league..vs B-10 teams they are all PT boats{ is their a smaller boat in the US Navy}. Mald is is their only post player inside..they have 2 fds who avg 10 pts a game but they are the size of the Illi gds...with Egwu inside the Green wave are in trouble..Illi wins this by 20 or more.
went 4-4 on Sunday...
