Marist +1.5 (prediction: wins game outright)
Lousiana Tech +11 (prediction: wins game outright)
Seton Hall +8.5 (close game, Seton hall covers the game for entrie 40 minutes).
In their last home game, La Tech lost by 17 to a shaky Fresno State team. They then went on the road and got beat by 7 by a raunchy Idaho team, by 15 at Boise State, and by 9 at New Mexico State. I actually think that 9-point loss at New Mexico State was La Tech's best effort of the season so far. I think they are ready for a letdown. And, make no mistake, home court doesn't help much when a team is this bad (331st (out of 341) RPI). Tonight La Tech hosts a very good team. Utah State is shooting 50% from the floor. Jaycee Carroll has over 2000 points in his career for Utah State; he'll probably get about 1000 tonight.
My favorite dogs today are San Jose State +1 at Idaho and Pacific +7 at UC Santa Barbara. I'm waiting to see if the line will move a bit and sweeten that Pacific bet.
