27-21 YTD +3.0
Fresno St. @ Tulsa
Tulsa -4/124
This game has alot of things to consider as Fresno will be playing with just 8 players tonight after the Pettis suspension, meaning 3 of Fresno's top 4 players to start the season are out due to suspension. Tulsa on the other hand probably played its most complete game on Saturday, but still losing to Rice 111-103 in OT (Tulsa shot 59% from the field). One notable is that Tulsa played their bench extensively and experimented with a starting lineup more designed for scoring. They are continuing with this lineup tonight. By far the worst rebounding team in the WAC, Tulsa's rebounding margin is -9.4 (last) and the closest is UTEP at -3.5. That will not change tonight. I expect Tulsa to shoot well tonight, still get out worked on the boards, particularly on the offensive end, giving up some easy buckets while still pushing the pace, as they tend to do more at home. Coming off a 3 game road trip, I look to Tulsa to end their 5 game losing streak and get the cover. If Tulsa can force some turnovers without Pettis in the backcourt, it will be a bonus. Strongly, like the over here in this situation.

Hawaii @ Boise St.
Boise -5.5/137
Hawaii's starting big man (Shimonovich) didn't make the trip to Boise, but it is uncertain how that will affect UH who is 4-1 on the road in conference. If I thought Bosie could take advantage of it, I would pass. Hawaii will continue to run the flex offense and use less low post sets. Look for more motion and less standing around. I lean towards the over, but not sure Hawaii will adjust their mode of play. Will play the dog for a unit.
One Unit Play
Hawaii +6 (-116)
Nevada @ Rice
Rice -1/151
Only real opinion on the this game is that the pace will be an "over" pace and if one or the other team gets blown out, that might be in jeopardy. Rice is in heavy revenge mode and Nevada hasn't been great on the road. Pass on the side, one unit on the total
