Canuck's NCAA Hoops Analysis

[CanuckG]

$109 Cleveland State +16 (-109)

Michigan has been hot shooting their past two games but that is due to regress especially vs Cleveland State who can play defense and hold their opponents to a low %. This line is about 5-7 points too high and that's due to the name brand Michigan carries. Key is to stop Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. and while they're going to get their buckets, realistically speaking they won't be shooting 85% from the field. Glen Robinson III is another solid player from Michigan that will have to be guarded well. I see CSU keeping it close and fading off at the end in the 2H and losing by 10-12 points.

$106 Georgia State +15 -106

Georgia State is underrated in terms of size and athleticism. They're well coached and can play a strong zone defense. GSU has an aggressive attack style and has play makers on both sides of the ball. Except some half court traps and a lot of pressure by GSU vs BYU.

$108 Michigan State +3.5 (-108)

Mich St. defense will be vital to win this game. I like the match ups with Derrick Nix and Adreian Payne against Kansas's front court. Spartans will have to grind out Kansas as they can't get themselves in a shooting contest or they will be blown out of the gym. Izzo is smart enough to know what adjustments need to be made during the game and I see this coming down to the wire.

[CanuckG]

Also lean Michigan State +2 1st Half (-108) but not betting on it. Back and forth first half 1-2 possession game to start out.

Hey I like the MSU play, best of luck on the card.

[CanuckG]

MSU showed up. Michigan is for real and G. State almost overcame an awful 1H. Doesn't help when a few mushes were on G. State

1-2 -$115.

$170 College of Charleston ML -170
$109 College of Charleston -3.5 -109

Emotional comeback win on opening night for their coach I see this as a letdown spot for St. John's. I watched them play vs Detroit and I wasn't overly impressed by anyone.

Their freshman post was a beast.

[uncynd]

Oh St. John's has a ton of talent, they are much more athletic this year...having it all together is in doubt, they lack 3pt shooting and guard depth.

I'm on this as well, can't wait.

[CanuckG]

YTD: 7-6 -$14

$218 S. Utah +10 (-109)

TCU is a low scoring team and while they're 5-2 it's because of their defense and SOS that they've been winning. S. Utah has not won on the road so far and again only +10 (+9.5 at Pinnacle) and I really believe they can keep it close (5-8 points) and still lose SU. Key is to stop Kyle Anderson because after that TCU doesn't really have anyone who can put up a lot of points. Both coaches know each other well and should be a good game not expecting a blowout here. 69-65 TCU.

$103 Seton Hall +4.5 (-103)

I saw Seton Hall play vs Washington and actually looked good. LSU have played cupcake games so far and S. Hall will once again pressure teams into turnovers and dominate the glass. It's Seton Halls first "true road game" but I still like the points here and could possibly see Seton Hall win SU here.

I love the Hall tonight. Have no idea about the other game.

Good luck Canuck.

Is Notre Dame a play or a trap?

[CanuckG]

Wish I was here earlier to respond ND looks good to start still along way to go. Was either gonna play them or no play.

[CanuckG]

Such a sick beat on Seton Hall.....

1-1 +$97

[CanuckG]

YTD: 8-7 +83

$330 Western Carolina +18 (-110)

Illinois has had 6 days off and a big tournament to look ahead to vs Gonzaga. W. Carolina can limit the 3s unlike GTech did vs Illinois and can cause some turnovers. Illini should win this by 8-10 points....won't want to risk injury if they're already up 15+ late in the 2H.

Good luck. I faded Illinois with ease when they almost lost SU to Gardner Webb. Don't know anything about WCU -- I'll have to look into it.

$330 Florida State +6.5 (-110)

Media is really making Florida to be the supreme world beaters. It's all about buying low/selling high and everyone knows Florida State just lost to Mercer and Minnesota at home. A lot of the time people like to look at past performances as an indicator of how a team will do the next day. On paper this shouldn't be close but games aren't played on paper. This is Florida's first true road game and you never really know what to expect at the beginning. Florida has been shooting lights out but I expect that to regress and when you're playing an in-state rival every basket is hard to come by. FSU is getting no respect here from anyone. They're on their own court and every article I've read states the Noles shouldn't even show up and play. I can't see Florida winning by 5 or 6 because that would be disastrous for the books so it's either Florida by a buzzer beater 3/Florida blowout/Florida State wins straight up.

Florida State has the size and length to compete with Florida and I like no one having any confidence because that's when you see these guys play their best. Throw the stats and trends out the window this should be an entertaining game. It's on ESPN2 so some dramatics could be in the air. Florida should edge out FSU by 1-4 points.

[CanuckG]

Adding another $110 on FSU +7 (-110)
