Terps have one of the best players in the B10 this year in Dez Wells...he can take a game over when necessary...Jake Layman is a tough matchup...and expect Melo Trimble to fill it up for a frosh. What is overlooked with the Terps is their "D" imo and Fordham doesn't look to be much improved from a year ago....
Not expecting a letdown from Miami, rather confidence after storming back from 15 down to the Gators.
Hoosiers in Bloomington as a dog with SMU not at full strength, will take the slight puppy in what should be a lively atmosphere.
Some notes on the Rebs this year. After watching them in their first two games it is evident that they are severely reliant on Cody Doolin at the point and after him right now the drop off is huge. He was gassed at the end of both games and was evident via what is normally a 90% FT shooter going 2 for 7 at the end of the game...just had no legs left. The young Rebs are very talented and play together extremely well and so far unselfishly. Vaughn and McCaw will get their points and are pure shooters, Goodluck already has 13 blocks in his first two collegiate games, and Christian Wood can be a special player this year. The two teams they played were both returning four starters and had very successful seasons last year, so given the experience they were up against it was impressive that they were able to come from behind in both contests being down by 11 in the 2H. This weekend will be a huge step up in Brooklyn with Stanford on tap....fwiw I did play the dogs in both contests both taking the points and ML so ended up splitsville but happy the team came away with two W's.

You know not to expect that kind of day all the time ....like they say, it's not how you start it's how you finish but I'll take the start anyway
As far as today, I am a little surprised that the Friars are the dog here...true that they are going to find it a bit more difficult on the boards with the 'Noles interior but their depth and OE should negate that imo. Watched Sam Houston St. play live, feel they should overcome Fairfield's D will lay the small # here. GL today everyone!
Lobo's are not expected to do well in the MWC this year, they lost a tremendous amount of firepower in Bairstow, Kirk, and Kendall Williams. Now to top that off Cullen Neal is injured and he was going to be counted on to pick up some of that load. That leaves basically Greenwood and Delaney for today's matchup against the Aggies who play a physical game. Add to that playing away from the Pit and I have to lay the points here imo.
The Irish and Friars have some scorers and have played teams that have been offensively challenged. These two historically have lit it up with the exception of the last contest. Playing back to back games I'm sure is why this is totaled where it is but I still see a 72-68 type of game.
Drexel looks like last years Cornell at this point so will take the improved version of the Big Red getting the points here until the Dragons can show they can take on the favorite role. GL today all!!
I've also got Evansville-- I think they'll be improved this year, and, like you, I think Fresno's not the same without Guerrero. Saw it opened at 7 and headed up, so I layed 8.5-- and got the worst number, as it's now as low as 5.5. So somebody with money really likes the Bulldogs.
I would say good luck to us-- but, who needs luck when you've got skill?
(stop! To all you literal mined folks out there-- don't object. The last was me being facetious. Sardonic--- jocular--- tongue-in-cheek?? Understand now??)
Not comfortable being on the other side of Tommy as well, # has been volatile to say the least as it just went back to 6' so could be a BW special lol
No I didn't Ron see it but it wouldn't surprise me lol...I saw that they covered though, looking to possibly play the total in this weekends game for the cannon
As far as the Aztecs, they will be glad to see the perimeter shooting of BYU departed and a more physical Pitt team is more to their liking as far as style of play...this line has dropped as well so I'm biting it, similar situation to the game I just mentioned as far as a nice jump up in class for the Panthers compared to their previous contests to this point, not quite sure they'll be up for the Aztec D. GL today and get your turkeys before the rush tomorrow
Xavier will end up being ranked and is still under the radar imo as far as PR....true their dominating wins were all at home but this team has some weapons and plays well together. Murray St. should be it's usual decent team in the OVC and the Musketeers handled them easily along with a decent Long Beach St....the Toreros 3 wins at home were to far inferior teams to what they are about to encounter in Fullerton today...GL and Gobble Gobble!!
Double header day for Rebs so going to both the bb game vs. Albany then the fb game for the cannon vs. UNR after (not expecting to keep the cannon after this game lol) so won't be doing much today so I can enjoy the games with friends and family...(so far my posted tickets are 32-10-1 from my personal tracking so hopefully you're not the only one that's been tailing), only play I made for today is the following fwiw:

[352] DUKE -16½-120 (B+½)
[1524] 1H WEST VIRGINIA -8-115
[1542] 1H CREIGHTON -5½-105
Creighton and WVA can hit teams before they know the game started so like both for 1H, and Duke should be able to outscore Wake at home in FB, since I'll be at the game and I liked all 3 which will be playing simultaneously decided to take a small flyer on the parlay...GL today!
LOL! Actually wanted to enjoy the game with ya so didn't want to sweat it especially with this young team that still has to gel...truth be told, Albany is a decent squad and Rebs haven't proven they can blow anyone out of the T&M yet this year so wouldn't lay that # vs. a squad that's been to the dance more recently then they have and didn't want to bet against them while I'm rooting for the kids
I'm not wearing Red and I could be sitting on my hands or not well see but one thing is for sure will have some fun.
Agreed, you may not be wearing Red but damn if I don't get you to do the Rebel chop....btw, my son will probably be wearing his Wolfpack gear smack in the middle of the UNLV section at the FB game later so don't feel so bad ....I have to listen to the heat he'll get from all the neighbors sitting around us lol
You thinking of their coach Dave Rice? He was a pretty good shooter.
It just doesn't get any better.
It looks like it might get a little better with this 9:1 shot thanks to the Cardinal the other day and Jeff Fisher, still laughing about the shortcut we took to get to your car

champagne for me-- tap water for you.
Had to go with the bottled water...vegas tap water is lethal, should of went with you on Neb. laid off the game as it looked "too easy"....btw, where do you get Champagne in the high desert
