IONA/VALPO UNDER 153
Denver -3
Bucknell -4
Minnesota -9
YTD: 7-4-0
IONA/Valpo will be a fast paced game. Valpo has a decent home court, however, and I'm thinking Iona should be a little rattled and be sloppy in their first road test. Iona loves to push but is also replacing a lot from last year - that could slow them town and force turnovers/missed shots/bad shots.
Bucknell always formidable, and Wake Forest looked pretty underwhelming from what I've seen in their first game. Not a good spot for them on the road here. 4 is too low.
Minny got a key transfer in Reggie Lynch from Ill. St. Davonte Fitzgerald who can play came from A&M as well, and Joey King scored 22 in their first game. That's a formidable front line. Like Gophers to win by double digits at the Barn.
Denver seemed suffocating on defense last night, and usually that kind of defensive intensity carries over between games. I think they'll see the effects of it and come out again ready to defend.
