Great couple days of hoops with the monster game tomorrow between Duke & Wisky... finally one of the top 5 teams will lose because they play each other.

Ohio State +9 (-120) for 7* - Really like this play. Louisville is a great team, but they shouldn't win by double digits against another solid, scrappy club like the Buckeyes. Ohio State has better shot winning SU IMHO than losing by double digits, but it's hoops and anything can happen with kids.

Syracuse +5 for 6* - Michigan is a great shooting team and Syracuse is still trying to find themselves, but like the Orangemen's zone to cause some problems for the Wolverines who aren't nearly as athletic as some of their previous teams. Michigan has shot the trey very well this year, but hoping the zone causes some issues.

Illinois +4 for 6* - Miami has a great backcourt, but Illini like to run and appear to have one of their most talented teams in a number of years. Complete tossup so I'll take the points.

Purdue -5 (120) for 5* - NC State hasn't left their home building until now and hasn't played anyone. Boilermakers already battle tested and think this helps them tonight.

Hoosiers -2.5 for 5* - Pitt has played very well for one half this season and it was the 2nd half of their last game vs. Kansas State. However, playing great on the road is a whole different story and believe Hoosiers win.

Wake Forest +5.5 for 5* - More a play on Danny Manning as a coach and the fact his teams always play hard. Minnesota kind of a paper tiger early and haven't played very well. Tough to see them extending any road margin of victory.

LSU -1.5 for 5* - Tigers have really underwhelmed so far this season, but have a chance for a nice win vs a UMass club which isn't anything special. Tigers need to win this game if they plan to make the NCAA tourney this year.

BYU -7 for 5* - Utah State is a horrid rebounding club at -10 per game and this despite not playing anyone worth a damn. Expect Haws to have 35 and BYU to roll... Cougars could have easily beaten San Diego State and Purdue in Maui, but lost a couple heartbreakers in OT. Think they rebound with a nice win over the Aggies.
