    Can someone explain all this love for SF Austin?

    They haven't played anybody, that 31-2 record doesn't mean anything. One of the worst strength of schedules out there. I can't even find lines for most of their past games.

    If VCU played that schedule they'd be undefeated. I don't see how Austin can hang with VCU here, not against that Rams defense.

    What am I missing here???

    1. SOS means NOTHING i guess Mercer should have lost to Duke then o wait…. 2. One of VCU's best players is out. 3. they haven't lost since November idc who you do that against that is hard.

    That is the only thing that's keeping me from pulling the trigger. I think VCU would have won the St. Joes game if not for the injury. Hurts bench depth

    Then go the other direction since they haven't played anyone.

    I am, that's the point of the thread.

    Just trying to figure out why SF Austin is such a trendy pick this year against a team that should dominate them

    Whose out for VCU? SOS means a lot, but you still have to hit your shots. Mercer hit 55% and Duke a mere 35%. They were cold outside and refused to work it down low for higher % shots. I had those chokers and glad they lost since they didn't cover. I like VCU quite a bit here, but have noticed a couple hot touts like SFA.

    Melvin Johnson, not a starter...but A10 6th man of the year. Averages 10 pts a game, their best 3 point shooter

    If you remember them from last year youll remember they are a very poised team, take good shots, and dont beat themselves. Still theyll be facing pressure from all angles today, should be a good one.

    Nope, but I've read they like to slow it down. VCU plays fast, fast ,fast, might run em to death

    Sf Austin plays the same exact defense vcu does. But they play offense more under control and have better shooters. That's why

    Thanks, as soon as I read your respone , I remembered seeing that in gold sheet. I have info overload, pools, bets, newsletters, everywhere. I believe he is sitting just this game with knee sprain. He does fire up the 3 and I believe leads A10 with 3's. gl
