i played small on unlv 2h (-4) (line went down from 4.5 to 4 just now)
douglas is in a zone. i dont know if he can carry the lobos for another 20:00 though. vegas may not win the game, but i do think this one goes down to the wire. im comfortable takin my chances on vegas (+5) (essentially) for the game. i think theyll make a run. if unlv doesnt key on douglas the 2h, theyre stupid.
Watching the game . . . R. Douglas for NM was on fire in first half . . . Bank for UNLV not doing much so far . . . see UNLV making a game of it in the 2h.
UNLV -4.5 2 units
Normally I do pretty well in the MWC and very well with the Lobos but this year have been ice cold.
douglas just killed me in the 1st half, i fear my spirit is broken, reminds me of the Uconn, Miami game last week, Rice lit Uconn up, but Uconn came back in the second half, only to get beat at the end. Don't think for a second that UNLV is any Uconn though...
Going with UNLV-4. New Mx let SDSU shoot over 70% in the 2nd 1/2 last game and barely escaped with a win. UNLV is deeper and more talented. But they better do a better job on Douglas. If they slow him down, they should win the game.
Playing the under 80 pretty big here. . . only fear is UNLV will shoot a ton of 3's if they fall too far behind, but I don't think New Mexico continues to shoot they way they have. 80 is just too much respect from Vegas as New Mexico won't put together another offensive half the same. Only fear is UNLV.
