    Like Purdue but missed the good number and I'm usually skeptical of playing on a team when it their 1st game home from one of the island tourneys. Similar to cuse ville been sitting at home getting fat off cup cakes, never believe that prepares a team to go out on road against real competition.

    Baylor +4.5.. bears thumped Xavier at around similar time last season in Waco. Venue has changed but not a lot else. Baylor's zone gave Xavier fits and I expect more of the same here as Xavier depends on getting points inside and from the charity stripe. Baylor is among the best in the nation not allowing opposing teams free points at the ft line. In that meeting last year Xavier dominated the glass and thst not only didn't matter but I don't expect that to continue. As long as the free throw margin is fairly close I think Baylor can take this game outright, give me the points.

    Ohio-3.5.. Iona jump shooters off a long layoff. teams been getting whatever they want against the gaels defense, a couple mediocre offenses just hung 85 and 89 vs this team in the tourney they participated in. Give me the better defensive team that won't settle for jumpers who lost a close one at Iona last season to turn the tables at home.

    Prob right. Even the total, lean under but they came in a lot lower on that number than I would have expected.

    I just can't stand teams that sit at home playing cupcakes while others are out competing against good competition on nuetral courts.. doesn't always mean they suck just really hard to know as ya can't really trust any of their numbers.

    Yeah, it’s a pass for me, but I feel similar to the Cuse Win over Maryland yesterday, -8.5 isn’t sitting right with me.

    Leaning under on Xavier Baylor game...Also like Ohio -3.5. Might do another 10 pt teaser with VCU (-1), Va Tech (+1.5 home to Iowa), South Dakota St (+20.5 @ Mississippi), and FSU +5.5 (@Rutgers)

    Wake forest -2.5... I know these guys have had a horrid start to the year. That said I trust manning to get it figured out and today they facing a incredibly young Illini team who has stayed home playing cupcakes. 1st real opponent and first road test for this young team and I think it a big ask. Wake struggles defending the 3 but Illini hasn't shot well and don't expect that to change venturing to a hostile environment tonight.

    Why is Vandy such a big fav? Line dropped a little already, but -15.5 is still very high imo, what do you think?

    I agree it looks really high., I don't love smallish jump shooting teams on the road but hell radford stayed within 10 at Ohio st who I think bigger and certainly more physical than vandy. Good catch, think im gonna play it.

    Radford +15.5.. maybe vandy takes out some frustration here but this line seriously looks 4-5 points high. Vandy hasn't exactly been good defending the perimeter and radford has some kids that can stroke it. I don't love playing on smallish jump shooting teams on the road but really don't believe vandy is physical enough to expose them.

    Super chalky, but I got Georgetown -23.5 against a small Maine team that doesn't do anything well. Over the past few years they've lost to P5 teams by 44, 31, 13, 39, 20, and 39. The last two are this season.

    Makes sense, I just have a miserable time with spreads of this size.

    X is #2 in nation in adjusted field goal %. Can’t they shoot through that Baylor zone d? I liken it to Florida shooting well against Duke zone d Sunday (before blowing that game of course).

    X also top 20 in A/TO ratio. I think teams who don’t move the ball well are the ones who really struggle more against the zone.

    Idk, I think Baylor’s in the midst of a tough non-conf stretch: Wisconsin, Creighton, @Xavier, Wichita State. I don’t see them sweeping that slate and this looks like the spot to let down on the road.

    BOL on the rest of your card!!

    Much different situation. Gators are pure shooters. Xavier accomplished that percentage getting into the lane, tops in the nation in 2 point fg % at a whopping 66.4%. Much like last season I don't think they will find the teeth of Baylors defense so inviting. Gators can simply light a zone up from over the top with shooters all over the floor, on other hand Xavier only has 2 legitimate shooters which makes defending them from a zone little easier.

    Thus far Baylor 3 point defense been solid, I honestly don't know if that them or more to do with not playing great shooting teams? But honestly doesn't matter much to me here as I mentioned Xavier isn't really a team of shooters.. I could be wrong, happens all the time! Lol., gl

    I have exactly two rules in CBB betting:

    1) Never bet on a BYU game.

    2) Never bet on a Scott Drew coached team.



    That said, I hope Baylor hits for you.

    Wouldn't count on that. Xavier only has couple guys that really stroke it from behind the arc. Bluiett gonna get his, just like he did last year. Baylor totally stiffled them from inside the arc last year and I expect more of the same..
