    They'll be improved by a decent bit for sure. Keep in mind they'll be playing home games during the first semester in a different arena because they're doing renovations to their normal home arena

    You'll notice a lot of games missing on my list and I'll tell you why. I don't waste my time on coming up with numbers for teams in conferences like the Atlantic Sun, SWAC, America East, etc because they play in conferences that don't have lined games. Think the only other conferences like that are MEAC, Northeast, Patriot, Big South, and Southland

    Saw oklahoma st play exhibition vs pitt st
    They looked well coached, they used the full court press like the whole game,
    they don't look like they have stand out top players, but look solid and have good game plan
    Prediction
    OK st 91 Campbell 64

    Santa Clara -8. Returning 100 percent of scoring. Take them early why you can. Overs in IUPUI games.

    Where are you getting these lines at? My bookies hasn't released them however my reference for now is here.

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/bett...aa-basketball/

    Oakland opened as 11 1/2 favs, and lines is down to 10.

    Santa Clara line opened at 13 1/2, and remains there.

    Bowling green plays one of the slowest paces in the country , would be my only concern.

    131 is an under line as well, books know about Oak Overs

    gl buddy

    I like clemson, Fordham, St. Louis, & drake

    VegasInsider.Com these are guesses and VI concensus. I'm in line at the Westgate right now. Oakland will speed them up in their cage (70%) Over rate at home with 63 percent of scoring coming back.

    Whoever is on Santa Clara, I hope you know the star PG-Feagin is out and starting big man Hubbard is questionable

    my guess would be Like IUPUI 75 E Kentucky 79 around 154 points and total is at 157.5
    this is a huge total,

    In nba tracking over first 2 weeks, can see the books getting sharper on the sides,
    but having bigger error margins with the totals,
    predicting the same in college basketball for a few weeks

    The edges look bigger on the totals,

    In general I would lean overs in college basketball this season. Scoring should be up a few points on average.
