    Citadel +16
    CBB: Citadel +16
    The spread is an over-exaggeration. Mich St are actually better than Citadel but not by as much as 16 points. The line is only that high because Mich St are "ranked". It also helps that Mich St are 2-6 in their L8 while Citadel are 9-2 in their L11 as a home dog. You can count on the home team's defense to cash this one.

    I'm totally on The Citadel as well, although I'm not sure why people keep saying they have a great defense. This team has been offensive minded since Ed Conroy took over.

          I was looking at a stat sheet. That's really all I have to go off when it comes to Citadel. Citadel's points against at home is 52.2, while they score 65 per game at home. Michigan State's points against on the road is 78ppg. But they score 87 ppg. I am on Citadel too, but I am worried because Michigan State has played top teams already. One good thing is that Citadel lost by 19 at West Virginia, and Huggins has a way more explosive offense than Izzo and they were on the road. Like I said I am on The Citadel so we will see what happens. GL

            Just one example: As bad as UCLA have been, did "NO. 1" Kansas cover a mere 15.5-point spread yesterday at UCLA? No way! I observed this throughout last season: fading "ranked" road favorites especially at DD spreads is money. Playing decent home teams as DD home dogs will guarantee profits.

              You can't go off ppg. There's too many other factors - possessions, opposing defense, etc.

              MSU only beat Wofford by 12 at home, Toledo by 13 at home. They're not playing that well right now. Not anywhere close to their top 10 ranking.

                "Over-exaggeration" is redundant.

                  UCLA would destroy Citadel.

                      And Davidson which isn't good this year, came on to Citadel's home floor and abused them.

                        Having said all of this, I'm not playing the game. I just have no clue why everyone on this forum is in love with Citadel. The entire planet was on Citadel against Davidson and Davidson knocked the crap out of them.

                          Hmmm...I'm not so sure about that...if they played on a neutral court UCLA wouldn't be that much of a favorite, would they?

                          I mean, I know they have the name but they are 2-5 with a home to Cal St. Fullerton - a team that's got a 20 point loss to Central Arkansas.

                            I'm not in love with them. I'm probably more so fading Michigan St. than anything else.

                                There are more people on here in love with Michigan State than Citadel.

                                  Michigan St. won't allow another Southern Conference team to stay close like Wofford.... I Love Citadel but I think they get blown out here

                                    Davidson was 15-27 from 3 in that game, not sure what that says about The Citadel's perimeter D, but that hot shooting was a huge factor, especially early.

                                      Okay, well VMI scores like 100 points a game so does that mean they have a great offense? No, it just means they play at a ridiculously fast pace.

                                        We're not asking Citadel to win SU. We're only praying:

                                        "Oh Citadel, lose by no more than 15 points". Finish.

                                                        nice call..... I love the Southern conf for some reason and the Citadel holds a special place in my heart after all the money they made me last year...... I guess I shouldn't have doubted...


                                                        Next year they are my sweet 16 dark horse for sure
