st johns (+13.5) 2 units. first of all, syracuse is not very good. let's get that right out there. this is not a very good basketball team, especially with johnson struggling. syracuse's only 2 losses this year were at home. and the #1 ranked team hasn't exactly fared well this year. if the orange played flat against louisville, how fired up will they be to play the red storm? especially after a huge win over 'nova and a new #1 ranking? i kinda like the johnnies on the money line, too. insane, huh?

cincinnati (+4) 1 unit. villanova is not playing well, losing 3 of their last 4.

michigan (pk) 2 units. i'll take john beilein against tubby smith, thank you very much. i used to think smith was a decent coach, but that opinion has really changed this year.

clemson (-6.5) 1 unit. clemson has been very good at home.

louisville (+1.5) 1 unit. as i said on sunday, louisville has burned more of my cash probably than any other team the last 5 years or so. but in terms of pure talent, this game isn't even close. of course, that doesn't always matter.

syracuse isnt a good team?

considering they're 8-0 vs ranked teams winning by an avg of 14 points i guess it's safe to say that those other teams suck and every other team in division 1 is terrible?????

you're not far off. there really are no great teams this year. nothing even close to carolina last year, for example. and with johnson struggling like he is, syracuse is not very good. no consistent offensive production, other than rautins (who i respect the hell out of).

thank you for reading.

Smitty I respect your opinions.. BUT Syracuse is 2nd or 3rd best team in country..hands down! To say they arent very good is proposterous..actually its downright SILLY! Im not saying they cover but to say not good is WRONG! Good luck with your plays

there's a difference between no great teams like carolina last year (who had, what 3-4 draft picks)

vs

clearly one of the 5 best teams this year "not being a good team, at all"

providence.......is not a very good team, at all.
oregon......is not a very good team, at all.
