    Detroit +14? Say What?

    Really like Detroit here. With Holman back, they have two legitimate NBA caliber players in him and Ray McCallum, Jr. This Titan team is a tournament team. Alabama is pretty good, but I think it's become pretty evident that they're just another SEC hack. Well, maybe not a hack, but not an elite team team by any means. In an actual basketball conference, they would be no better than middle-of-the-pack.

    Even though this game is being played in Tuscaloosa, I don't see this being a blowout. Does anyone see this the same way? I wouldn't even be surprised to see Detroit pull of the upset. The line should be half of what it is in my opinion.

    Loving this game.

    Im surprised by the 14 as well. Thought it should be lower, somwhere around 9. Detroit or no play type game here. Talk to me about Holman. He's their best player who was out for a number of games before the west mich game, yes?

    Apparently assaulted someone at a frat party, and is just coming back from suspension. I remember him from when he played at IU, met the guy, seemed real nice. Maybe a temper thing? Nonetheless, tall and lanky with an incredible wingspan. Disrupts anything in the middle, much like the Unibrow does for UK. I could see him causing a lot of problems for Alabama, who has trouble putting the ball in the basket from time to time.

    Only the second game for Holman though, who I think is the key to this game.

    Also don't think McCallum will show any wear. The kid is a beast.

    I see. Bama definately has a hard time scoring the basketball, agreed. Ive been screaming that this team is overrated since the pre-season top 25 came out and they were like 17 or 18. I told everyone that they would be out of the top 25 by mid or late december. Ive made a boat load betting against them this season, looks like i gotta continue the trend here

    I mean, is it a guarantee? No. No such thing. But a lot has to go right for Bama to blow out Detroit.

    Don't give up yet. We have 14 points to give. Bama won't shoot 60% all game.

    Ya, it kills me the amount of people that panic and over-react in this college hoops forum. Its like they dont know that college hoops is a game of runs. The overraction on most peoples part on this site is downright comical.
