    One lock & one question mark for Thursday college hoops

    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???

    i would take the jaguars +14.5 if i had gun to head. although blue raiders are unbeaten at home this year. no play for me.

    So, if able to live bet this game? Most important thing to watch is if LaSalle is hitting their 3's?

    Good to know.

    BIGDAY thanks I hope that's not sarcastic. I just joined SBR like a month or so ago and every "lock" thread I've posted (maybe 5 or 6) has won and a good majority 65%+ of my posted picks on my own or other threads have won too. My posts are excellent, but too bad I bet more games than I post about lol

    completely agree on lasalle, i thought they were good at pick on the overnight line, the movement gives me pause but im also not totally shocked by it

    s alabama/mtsu is a complete stay away for me, i agree with the guy who said gun to head id take s alabama

    Cool guy goose, easy to say after the game. Not easy to call winners ahead of time. I believe this makes me 6-1 for "locks" and I just started posting last month. All my picks are well thought out and have explained logic - not everyone pcks 100% or I wouldn't be wasting my time on this fckin forum. I couldn't cap to account for a fuckin ten minute drought from la salle.

    penetrate la Salle that pick buried me last night.

    And I wish I got this much press on every other winning thread... But of course, only the haters show up on the only loser lock.
