Good start men! Congrats and keep it up.

PLAY #12 Creighton vs Arizona St I have really been looking at this one all day. McDermott is by far the best player on the floor, and im not sure if anyone on asu can stop him. He will get his 20+ pts in this game, but Creighton is going to need a lot more then that to win this game. Creighton does not have much of a inside game and therefore Bachynski should have a field day under the hoop. Carson will be hard to stop and if marshall is hitting behind the are, look out Creighton. Im going to have to go with the sun devils in this one PLAY #12 ASU +3

[Marqfan]

Thought i would get the cover in ot, not this time. Good come back and win for iowa.

YTD 8-3

[NECE]

We can't say we didn't have our chances to cover there tho!

[JWags85]

Yep, j wilson with a great game. That marq toughness is coming back.

YTD 8-2

Glad to see another Marquette fan on the board. Really happy with JaJuan Johnson's game today, awesome performance from J Wilson, another steady game from D Wilson, and Davante getting his. They are coming back around.

[Marqfan]

Welcome jwags! Yea they looked really good today and finally took care of buisness. Johnson looks good and building confidence every game. Looking forward to the return of mayo and duane wilson.

working on numbers for tomorrows games and waiting for spreads, go asu!!

[Marqfan]

I will put my tail between my legs on that asu pick.

PLAY #13. St johns vs penn st

penn st avg 13 more ppg than st johns. Frazier and newbill avg 18ppg each. Both teams shoot well with penn st with the advantage from behind the arc. St johns has a slight advantage on the boards but st johns defense is the key. They avg 11 blocks a game. Obekpa avg 5bpg. With st johns defense and game being played in Brooklyn, im taking st johns

PLAY #13. St johns -1.5

[Marqfan]

PLAY #14. Kansas vs villanova

Pinkston has been huge for nova avg 20ppg, but Kansas has more fire power with wiggins and Ellis leading the way and avg16ppg. Kansas shoots better from the field and score 5pts more per game. I'm going with Kansas in this one

PLAY #14 Kansas -4.5

[Marqfan]

PLAY #15. Marquette vs george washington

marq looked really good the last 1.5 games. J wilson now understands that he must lead this team. Jj johnson is starting to show marq toughness. Do to marq terrible first 4 games, gw numbers look better, but buzz is molding another solid team and they should care momentum into this game

PLAY #15. Marq -4

[Marqfan]

J wilson in foul trouble all game but marq covers

YTD 9-4

[ksnooksk]

St. John was up 2 and fouled the kid shooting a 3 with 6 seconds left.

[Marqfan]

Yea, I didn't believe that happened. Thought we were going to get that one

[Marqfan]

PLAY #16. Xavier vs usc

xavier with a tough ot loss to iowa and an ugly loss to tenn after beating them by 4 a couple weeks ago. Well its time for a rebound, xavier is better then they played vs tenn yesterday. They should win and cover vs usc today

PLAY #16. Xavier -10.5

PLAY #17. St johns vs georgia tech

st johns should have won yesterday. St johns is 0-4 vs spread but g tech is only 1-2 vs spread. Time for st johns to win and cover or the will become a team to fade

PLAY #17 st johns -3

PLAY #18. Villanova vs iowa

and i thought marq plays tough. This may be the best biva team i have seen in a long time. They shoot well and play great defense. Think they will continue this toughness in championship game

PLAY #18. Villanova +2

[Marqfan]

St johns gets their first cover of the year. I picked against the numbers thinking Xavier would play better, I will not let that happen again

YTD 10-7

[Marqfan]

PLAY #19. Depaul vs Oregon st

Org st cones in avg 10 pts more per game, Nelson and collier avg 20+ppg. Both team are equal on the boards and to. Not going to be a very good game, but think state will win in ugly fashion

PLAY #19. Oregon st +2

[Marqfan]

PLAY #20. Kentucky vs providence

Really like how providence has been playing this year, until they played Maryland. Kentucky will be a beast on the glass and avg 10 more rbs per game. Kentucky also avg 10 more pts per game. I expect randle to have a huge game here.

PLAY #20. Kentucky -6

PLAY #21. Lsu vs butler

On paper this looks like a bad matchup for butler. Lsu with a huge advantage on the glass. Lsu also has 4 players avg 11+ pts per game, but both teams take care of the ball well. I made a mistake taking Xavier vs the numbers and will not challenge that again.

PLAY #21. Lsu -3.5

[Marqfan]

Its early, but villanova is by far the best team in big east

YTD 11-7

[plekz]

Don't know if i'd go that far considering how early it is, but i'll agree that they are the ones that are the furthest along in 'playing' as a team so far. Very impressed with their efforts at B4A.

[Marqfan]

1-2 yest.

PLAY #22. Creighton vs long beach state

Creighton cruise to an easy win vs asu only to drop the next 2 with a loss to gw. Now creighton goes to play a battle tested long beach team that has played Arizona, michigan and vcu. I think creighton gets the win here but LBS covers the spread

PLAY #21. lBS. +12.5

PLAY #23 Penn vs Villanova Villanova coming off an impressive tournament win beating Kansas and iowa. They no return home against penn. Villanova avg 9 more pts per game. Penn is 2-4 with three close losses and a blowout loss at iowa. Both teams shoot similar from the field with villanova better from behind the arc. Villanova will win this game, but I think that penn can cover the pts PLAY #23 Penn +18

Ytd. 12-11

PLAY #24. Providence at rhode island

providence coming off a loss to kentucky go in the road for their first true road game. RI plays well at home and both number are very similiar. As much as i like providence, i think RI will cover this one

PLAY #24 RI +6.5

[Marqfan]

PLAY #25. Seton hall vs liu brooklyn

seton hall was giving fdu 19 pts at home and lost the game. Liu lost by 1 at indiana. Im i missing something? I will take the pts

PLAY #26. Liu +13.5

[Marqfan]

PLAY #26. Arizona st at depaul

Arizona st playing in the windy city taking on depaul. Arizona st may be without leading scorer, Carson. This is the reason why the spread is only 2.5. Both teams avg same points per game with Arizona st having played a tougher schedule. Even without Carson, I think Marshall and bachynski have a field day.

PLAY #26. Asu -2.5

[Marqfan]

2-0 for the day

PLAY #27. Marquette at Wisconsin

Wisconsin has looked great to start the year. Marq has had it's up and downs. This is a great interstate rivalry match at the kohl center. Wisconsin avg 3 more ppg, and Marquette avg 6 more rbs per game. If Marquette can guard the three and get Gardner the ball,marq could win. Marq has one the last 2 at the kohl center

PLAY #27 marq +8.5

[Marqfan]

PLAY #29. Villanova at st josephs

Villanova avg more pts and rbs a game. Even on the road, nova runs away with this one
