My lock of the day is La Salle +2 @ Temple. I think la salle wins this game outright, they have great shooters (especially beyond the arc) and big men with size to match up with Anthony Lee. Their last few road losses have been against good teams, teams much better than temple - such as Miami, Charlotte who is great at home, and Xavier who is scrappy, meanwhile they won @ VCU. EVEN if by chance la Salle can't get the win, remember that temple is 3-2 in its last five games - which were ALL DECIDED BY 1 POINT. I think La Salle gets a good road win here at temple and tramples them by 7+ points.
My question that I need help on is why is middle Tennessee state a 15 point favorite at home vs southern Alabama. My initial thought was MTU by 10-12, but SAU only lost by 4 (barely, & had a chance to win) at home vs MTU earlier this year. They matched up well against MTU so is 15 pts too many to pass by? I get that MTU is making a run to the big dance but shouldn't SAU keep it close???
