Default HG's 2017-18 College Basketball Thread

I considered not doing one of these this season (especiall after my awful year in football), but I am doing the work anyway, and I enjoy the discussions.

A little background, I focus mostly on totals. I have a mode that I will start using as a tool in December, and I rely very heavily on pace of play analysis. I enjoy writing up my plays, but I don't always have time for that.

I always welcome questions and discussion, so please feel free to jump in. First picks coming momentarily...

11:00 Manhattan -7 (I got -6 but still like it here)
The Jaspers are sometimes a frustrating team to watch, but they're very experienced this year and are coming off of a nice home win against Harvard. Manhattan is clearly the better team, let's just hope they can make FTs down the stretch to cover the number.

1:30 Georgia Southern/Missouri St o145.5 (I'm in at 146)
I get at least 72 possessions here, but it could go higher. Missouri St has a huge edge on the glass, and GaSo has the edge on the perimeter. If GaSo's shots are falling, this one should go over.

2:00 Prairie View A&M/Eastern Kentucky u149.5
I have this one in the low 140s. The pace could be quick, but the efficiency shouldn't be great. I don't like how much these two foul, but I think the early Vegas start could see these teams sluggish from the get go.
