============================
kent state (-1) over western michigan
(going pretty strong on this one)
============================
cincinnati (+4) over louisville
cincinnati (+170) over louisville
=============================
duke/maryland over 151
(total square play but cant see it any
other way)
=============================
been a crazy day. not as much time for writing these games up as id like. being in and out of court will do that to ya.
kent state.....cant give a ton of fundamental reasons for this one. teams are awfully similar and western michigan is rolling right now. but sort of just a 'mac intuition'. tough to explain how and why kent is so damn tough at home. when it comes to big games, they simply dont lose em there. if you go back and look at the past years (even when huffman and mitchell were there), they never lost a big game at home. theyd be upset every now and then, but it would be by an inferior team who snuck up on em. i know this is not a dominant kent team compared to past years, but theyre just super efficient. their guard play is excellent and edwards keeps getting better in the post. but its really not about the players. its just about this program just establishing a dominant edge on that floor in big games. if they lose tonight, ill have no shame losing the money because it will mean something out of the ordinary has happened. flashes hit even good teams with big runs on that floor
cincinnati.......riding the hot team here. louisville equally as hot, but ive made good money backing huggins as an underdog in past years. i really feel like this is huggins best team since kenyon martins senior year. i know most probably feel this game is a coin flip, but i just think cincinnati is better. cards home floor certainly the equalizer, but cincinnati just doing too many good things right now to go against em.
maryland over.....no doubt a square play. maybe williams tries to slow it down and control the pace, but i doubt it. duke/maryland is always a track meet and if this game ends up being the anomaly, so be it. but in a game that should have a lot of scoring runs for each team, i dont see how this one doesnt land around 160-165. no earth shattering logic- i just think it takes large nads to play the under in this one.
