UNC Ashville -12.5

[jinxpro13]

yes, UTEP. really.

[RetardStrength]

yes, UTEP. really.

Honestly out of every play I listed there, I have absolutely no intentions of playing Memphis. They've burned me multiple times this year... I like to spark convo!

utep plays slow and has some size, plus they like to junk it up with those crazy d's, def something i think could give a low hoops iq team like memphis some problems... not like i really wanna play utep tho but to me it them or nothing.

i thought nd was laying to many but def one of those gms where taking the dog looks kinda easy to me and those generally dont end well if i play the dog..

iowa and provo both seem solid to me..

Yea kinda how I felt about Cincy last night.... 10 points seemed like vegas dangling a unit in front of my face, saw so much value and took it, pleased through 35 minutes of the game, only to watch Cincy FOLD towards the end and get waxed...

Southern Miss -6

SMiss is just horrible on the road ATS both vs Marshall and in conference as well going 5-15-1 in their last 19 in C-USA..and going 1-6-1 in their last 8 meetings with Marshall ... I generally believe that the Herd will come out strong here and would be much more inclined to take the points & to be honest I also get burned taking SMiss or Memphis on the road... (see loss to Xavier)...

Memphis clinched last Saturday not much too play for doubt they show up and UTEP will be fired up for this one could actually see it beiing a blowout.

yea i stayed away but just like that,,,lot of times with lines like that i find taking dog 1st half to be better option, if they dont cover 1st you can always get better line on 2nd anyway but more times than not 1st seems to be more competitive..

UTEP's the one I just don't get. I'm going to play them on principle alone.

I think Marquette would be fine but I'd probably still buy the hook. They are a 2nd half team for sure and have been pretty good lately about closing it out down the stretch.

The real gem in their arsenal is Gardner because he's a big man who shoots like 80% or more from the stripe. Nice luxury cuz they can leave him in late and keep pounding it to him without having to worry about hack-a-shaq nonsense.

[2daBank]

provo actually prob better to wait for 2nd half,,i know may end up making it a no play but they a notorious 2nd half team, that what i think every time i think bout them anyways (maybe just perception but seemed this way for yrs to me)..might get a more favorable line tho...

I love Marquette -6.5, sadly its up to 7 at most places. Rutgers has been a train wreck since starting the season 11-3, Marquette can still win the regular season championship and despite their 3-6 record on the road they haven't lost to anyone they shouldn't have yet. Maybe Nova u could consider a bad loss, but they have been tough at home

[CDMKMP]

Now that I think about the Marquette play more they already clinched the double bye in the Big East tourney so they might not have a lot of incentive to press the action.

Who the f--- knows, Rutgers is still pretty shit.
