Comments
Creighton -1 Illinois State
I really like this Illinois State squad, but I just think that Creighton is at a different level than everyone else in the MVC.
Yes, you are correct. Thanks very much for catching it.

Creighton -17.5 Drake
This one has dropped too much. Lots of points to lay, but Drake is playing awful as of late.
agree. i've been watching this line as well and trying to gauge when to pull trigger or if to.

Virginia Tech -3 Boston College 1.5 UNITS
William & Mary +4 Towson

Last night was brutal. Get out to a 19 point lead, then promptly give up a 19-1 run to let Brown right back in it.
Spare
Detroit +1 Youngstown State
Michigan State -2 Iowa
UCLA -5 Utah
Pacific -6 UC Santa Barbara
Gonzaga -9 St Mary's
Arizona State +6 Oregon State
Niagara -1.5 St. Peter's
It's been the M.O. of a lot of my games lately. Get out to a big lead, then let the other team right back in it. UCLA also fit into the mold last night
No, it's just giving away edge on those games that are looking good (unless of course there is some reason that I specifically liked St Mary's in the 2nd half).

Creighton -10.5 Northern Iowa
Most of the board is still sitting at 11, but Pinny finally dropped it to 10.5 (as did a local of mine), so there are some 10.5's to be had. Can't really see it falling any lower than this.
