My first impression is 'Nova" a gift from the Gods +9
..............BUT...........Although Nova is the best Defensive Team CT has faced CT is a little too big and athletic and will wear Nova out to pull away in half 2.
CT will emphasize winning with D as well and Dyson will try to put the clamps on Scottie "the torch" (40 last time in CT) while CT frontline Thabeet,Adrien,Edwards and Robinson should be too strong...and hold Dante Cunningham and Pena to below their season averages.
IF and a big IF AJP brings his game tonight (23 in last) and loosens Nova up from the perimeter and CT can play some uptempo ball they should pull away. If Jay Wrights guys dictate tempo than 9 will be too much and I'll most likely.. be wrong! ..................CT-9

Probably the sensible play shoshone..
Just going by what I've seen recently and I like their D when they play hard. They had POOR efforts at the garden v St Johns and seemed to lose interest after handling SHU with ease in 1st half.
"Nova" has beaten them in last 2 so IF...IF CT is to play a BIG game this would be it! I like J Wright but I just have a hunch that CT plays BIG tonight.

others:

Richmond +3.5.........URI best on paper but Home team Wins since 2002

Northeastern -4

LaSalle -10.5......a much better team

Louisville -10.5.......Thr RACs mystique is not much help with a team as good as Louisville.
