Tonight's card looks pretty weak, but I got my eye on two games: MTU @ Troy and Zaga & BYU. I hate to do this but I'm going with two road favorites tonight!! MTU & GONZAGA
The line right now is gonzaga -5.5, I'm thinking of betting the ML as well just in case this is a close one. In the last meeting between BYU & the Zags,the Zags were straight rolling at half and ended up winning by 20 at home. Gary bell jr. played lock down D & completely shut down Haws - who is avg 20+ pts a game for BYU. In addition, Zaga out rebounded and scored almost twice as many pts in the paint. With the way zaga plays 3pt perimeter defense, (& how BYU relies on 3s), Olynyk & gang will dominate this matchup again.
Now for MTU - they are a team who consistently blows teams out at home and often wins by double digits on the road. Although I don't expect a repeat 52 point win over Troy - yes 52 POINT WIN over Troy last month, I still think MTU can go to Troy and win by 15 or more. The play here is MTU-12.
