    Stephen F Austin

    What business do these guys have being only +7? They've played absolutely nobody this season. Like, Houston Baptist/Incarnate Word/Henderson State/Shreveport/A&M Corpus Cristi nobody. Take a serious look at their schedule. It's pathetic.

    The only two tournament teams they've played are Baylor and Northern Iowa. They lost those games by 42 and 10 points respectively.

    This is a West Virginia team that beat Kansas once and was up on Kansas at the half in the conference tourney. They also beat Iowa State twice, Baylor twice, and Oklahoma.

    What am I missing?

    The only reason I haven't pounded this is because of the way the line is moving. I need ot just pull the trigger.

    Yeah same. I don't get it, which scares me. I'd feel more comfortable if the line was -12

    I don't know much of anything about SFA, but what I remember hearing in the bracket buster that they are a pressing team and the old adage of teams that press don't like to be pressed would apply here. I know they have had success in this same situation previously against VCU if I remember correctly. I took WVU in my bracket and that is all I'm doing with this game personally. If I had to make a wager however I would take the dogs here + whatever points to keep it interesting.

    I would love to hear some input on SFA as well. Why are they only getting 7? What's the deal here?

    The line was kinda soft based on yesterday's upsets
    when the ML kept sinking today you see chasers
    thinking the same thing.. that "something is up".
    which probably means nothing.

    All the teams that got upset have major flaws. For one, it starts with bad coaching and poor effort. If there is one thing you can count on every time WVU plays, it is good effort and good coaching. I don't see the upset at all. Think I'm going to have to fade the line move and take WVU.

    wvu's flaw is they are awful from the foul line. Other than that, their effort, defense and coaching can hide that most of the time.

    Yeah I decided to pass. I'm not seeing this game clearly. I just can't see how Austin stays in the game, and that's never a good look as a bettor lol.

    let's face it.

    "Stephen F. Austin" sounds more like a metrosexual clothing brand
    than a basketball team.
