Bob Huggins' team hasn't covered a spread vs Depaul in 4 years.
In fact his squad hasn't covered 3 spreads in their last 10 outings.
No surprise their last cover was over the lowly Panthers.
ND reminded us last week what it's like to watch this team get crushed but 20+ points to th elikes of Seton hall & Kent St.
- Mountaineers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. Big East.
- Mountaineers are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite.
- Mountaineers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games.
- Mountaineers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite.
WVU should win this game & I think quite easily, without a foul show at the end. Even if there is a 4 point difference with 1:30-1:15 left, I doubt the double bonus can get WVU over the 13 point mark.
Depaul starts this game with 13.5 points & they may even fall 3-4 points below the cover but when the games ends Brandon Young Keeps Depaul within the spread.
Both Weber St & Montana have had very weak strenght of schedule games lately but they both score a ton of points while they pump these insignificant schools. Since it's difficult to gauge how these teams may play each other in such a weak sample I think I give the slight edge to Webber St based on strength of schedule earlier in the season, when they happened to play some Tournament teams. Web lost to BYU, CAL & St Mary's. all tournament worthy at some point this season, but Montana was lucky to squeak out wins over Port St, E. Washington & Long Beach St.
When Montana finally faced some bigger conference teams They were grossly outmatched, & were never really in any of the games at any point. What's worse is that these teams were at large bids at best. SD, SF & Oregon St.

Finally you may be asking "If Jay wants to have a pretty good gauge of how these two teams may play each other, why doesn't he simply go by the game they played against each other last month?" Well, I am little concerned that I don't know if Stockton played that game.
Either way if Stockton & Cherry both play well you'll see why Montana is favoured by too much.
