    (11-5) Radford pick'em @ (4-10) High Point

    Anyone familiar with these teams? Glancing at records, seems strange Radford isn't favorite. Game is televised on ESPN U

    I agree and capping it I have Radford as a 6 point favourite, this is a line I believe Vegas knows something we don't, like many games this week

    look at the opponents. High Point has played legitimate D1 Schools. They played Cuse, Georgetown, arkansas, . Radfords toughest games: UNLV, Santa Clara, George Washington.

    This is an interesting game. Low chalk makes it attractive.

    Sagarin Ratings has this basically Pickem and Dunkel has High Point -5.5


    Sagarin calculates home court advantage at 3.45

    with the slight line shift in favouring high point, i would believe it attracts many people who like betting blindly on small home faves.

    i dont buy it and i think the smart thing to do is either pass or take the dog with the better overall record.

    Looking at the sheets, this is basically an exact re-match from last year's game.

    High Point has a power forward that has retired from basketball. Heart troubles, even had a defibrillator. He put up 15 pts in this match-up last year and now they're going to need to win without him, something they couldn't even do last year either.

    Yup I would say you definitely were one of the few if not the only person on the board on Radford. I should've never even put half a unit on this game I KNEW something odd was going on with this game. Congrats to you though PorkChop.
