I took Prov. +5 when it came out. Conference strength being a large factor.

I watched Georgetown in both games of this tourney. You can tell it is early season as they turn the ball over way too much. Laying a large number with this team is a bad move at this point. Their style, and mistakes they make to this point, don't allow them to blow out teams. As you say, -5.5 looks about right vs Maryland.

I havent been impressed at all by Providence. I really thought they would be a pretty good team, but they've already lost to Northeastern and barely got by a shitty Charlotte team. Saint Mary's will be a top 25 team by season end IMO. (I'm too lazy to look and see if they are now). I might wait and see if I can get a better price on the ML or even get the spread down to 3 points or so

Take Cornell. They return nearly everyone from their NCAA Tournament team, they have more talent than IU. IU isn't filling up their gym this year either.

At first glance I thought Cornell too, but they've had some suspect losses so far this year. I will probably lay off that game because there is a lot of good basketball going on tommorow

IU beat a division 2 team by 2 points.

Need to watch this Cornell/Indiana and get a read on these teams. Haven't had a chance to watch either yet. Cornell seems like a solid club.

thats true, I think Indiana might be a little overvalued since they are Indiana

IU has been TERRIBLE in the 2nd half this year. Maybe keep that in mind if you are looking at a halftime wager.
