Kansas St +5.5 over Texas ****
Texas inside game is hurting after Ridley out...no inside scoring with any consistency. Ibeh has no offense except off. bds..Lammert plays facing the basket,never posts up..Taylor can break down almost any defense..but who does he drop off too...Mack had good game vs UConn....think on offense the Longhorns will struggle...and their greatest strength rebounding has weakened...K-St just lost in 2 ots to West Vir...they also lost to NC and Tex AM..{ Texas did beat NC by 3 with Ridley} Weber has put together a new and young team...Iwundu is one of the top fds in the B-12...Edwards,Stokes and Brown have done a great job at the gd positions..Hurt and Johnson at 6'11 and 6'9 will see a lot of action...K-sts biggest problem is they have no 3 pt shooters..they rank in the 300's..but ironically they also rank No 1 in the nation defending the 3. they play solid defense and if they can slow down Taylor they could win this game outright...Shaka doesn't have the players yet to install his full court pressure defense to create turnovers...
Oklahoma St +9.5 over Baylor **
Providence -9.5 over Marquette **
Dunn,Ben,to much to handle for 40 minutes...Dunn is playing in the ozone and the Friars are just tailing him.
Kentucky -5 over LSU ***
I know it will be tough at LSU's home gym..Simmons is the ozone..but think Wildcats have to much talent everywhere and if anybody could slow down Simmons its them...not stop but slow..
Butler -8.5 over Depaul **
yest 3-3 0*s
overall 114-99 +60*'s
OU-Kansas game....3 ots Buddy went off.. what a performance...not sure if anybody stayed up late to watch it...really enjoyed it more when you have OU +7.
