A lot ofgames today...
Texas Tech -3 over Texas *****
Now the line is up to -3.5...
TT is a team that can score but better on defense...they just beat WV and there is a reason why they are ranked 8th in the nation..when the beat WV the "espn announcers were acting shocked or surprised at the upset...Beard the TT coach said" this isn;t a surprise from any of us here"...despite having only 3 double digit scorers they have a lot of depth..Evans to me is the best gd in the B-12..I know about OU's sensation..Evans can shoot,dribble ,pass and rebound...but more importantly he is one of the top defensive players in the country,not Conf...Gray his partner has played 4 yrs for TT..they play 4 gds and one post player...Texas has Mamba and Otet and Simms..big boys inside 6'9,6'9 and 6'11...frosh Febres has been inserted into the lineup for outside shooting...with Jones out for the season and Roach out tonite that will be a problem,,,you lose your best outside scorer and w/o a doubt your best defender in 6'6 Roach...think he would be on Evans tonite...TT was going to the B-12 finals last yr but Texas upset them in the quarter finals....that still has to be in TT's heads tonite...Texas is to inconsistent...they were leading OK st up 9 or 10 the other day...with under 5 minutes,,they lost by 1...same thing at Baylor...but tonite there will be no comeback..because Evan and co will be up by 6-10 points with a few to go...
Tulsa +7 over Temple **
Canes almost beat Wichita the other day...Owls to inconsistent..think Tulsa keeps this close.
Fordham +12 over Lasalle **
Both teams playing bad..both teams having problems scoring..La Sal has Pookie and BJ.. Rams have nobody...but play a little better defense..think 10 points is a lot so go with my Bronx boys...think I'm 4-0 going against the Rams...so my fingers are crossed..
Wichita -9 over Smoo ***
Shockers are home...Smoo is not playing well...lost last 3...Wich entered new conf...many said the Mizzou V was weak..wait until they play some real teams... wrong thing to say..because they are kicking every bodies ass with a chip on their shoulder...think Coach has a banner in the lockeroom with all those quotes...double digit win,
Houston -6 over Tulane ***
Wave playing better..have avg offense but weak defense..they haven't seen a good offense..Coogs have one..and a good offense..
XU -11.5 over Johnnies ***
XU just blew out Creighton back to Nebraska....OK lets stop the BS,..lets stop reading the pre-season clips...lets stop reading box and ones saying your a final 4 team...lets get back on track vs the Johnnies who have a avg offense but a decent defense..defensive teams cannot beat us..defensive teams with good offense can give us a game...but Johnnies despite giving Nova a good game at home must travel to Ohio and try to make this game respectable ...because XU played their A game vs Creighton and won big..the scary thing is that Creighton brought there A game too..
Iowa pk Rutgers *
Rutgers keeps losing but their ats record is great...both teams so inconsistent...Iowa coach more in trouble...but these guys go 10-1 in non conference and play no one...then the B-10 starts and they are 0-5 or 0-6..RU did beat Wisky at home..but if you saw wisky last night that wasn't to impressive..
Nev -16.5 over San Jose **
Could be blow out game of the day...Caleb,his brother etc win big...SJS ranks in the 300's on offense..and some defense..Nev can put points up..
Long beach St +6.5 over UC Davis **
yest 3-3 +2*'s
