So on a neutral court, the Hawks and Panthers are basically the same?

UNI is the better, more veteran team, and Carver today isn't Carver of old.
It's either UNI +3.5 or no play. Iowa should not be favored here. I know UNI's track record at CHA is horrible, but this is men against boys when it comes to experienced.

I might go against my "no Michigan State before the Big Ten season starts" rule and take them at -2.5 as well.

Really like East Carolina +6.5 at home vs. ODU as well.

I really haven't been impressed with Kansas so far.
Memphis ML is temping for a little sprinkle.

Solid early leans! Big fan of a few. Curious to see how these lines move in the am. Have to imagine MSU. Comes off of -2.5 by sheer public bets. Seems like a trap play though at the garden. Perhaps UNI comes down? Going to be a great night for NCAA

I think MSU will probably stay at 2.5, but may move to 3. Public will be on them. I think it opened at 1.5, so I doubt it'll move much more.
UNI opened at 3, and the hook was added. I'm just confused on this, other than KenPom has the Hawks by 5.

I just love getting dogs at home like this.
Truth betold, though, it's a gamble because ECU's schedule's been pretty weak so far.

Utah State's a bitch at home, and I just don't like LBSU's makeup. I think they'll try to push the tempo and get run out of the gym.

Coming out of someone who went to the Beach and is still connected to the school well, I really think Utah State giving away 11.5 points is a little too much. I'm not saying LBSU would win it outright, but I think they will keep the game within single digits. I think the line should be Utah State -8.
Better yet, I am waiting for the Beach to play against North Carolina and take the points. The guys here in Long Beach only shows up to big games, which shows how much the school needs to upgrade their coaching staff.

I would agree in theory, but UNI beat ISU 54-50 last week and I expect them to drag Iowa into the gutter as well. They love games like that.

Thanks for the feedback.
I'll admit: LBSU fvcks me over a lot. I just pick them in bad spots, I guess. I still think USU rolls them here.
