12 PM Plays:

Villanova (-4)

Nova comes off a tough home loss to Memphis and get a Notre Dame team that seems to have righted the ship. I go the opposite way here.

Michigan State (+11)

The Big 10 has started and now Michigan State should start to play well. Brandon Cotton is transferring so now there is more playing time at the guard position. I think the Spartans will rally and play very well to start the Big 10 season.

1 PM Play:

Temple (+5)
I almost always take Temple when getting points in conference play.

Dayton has really not been the same team since getting drilled at Cincinnati. They did beat Wofford by 17, then lost to St. Louis by double digits at home, lost at Wyoming (who is down this year big time), then barely beat an undermanned St. Bonaventure team.

2 PM Plays:

Drexel (+5')


Miami-Florida (+5')
First road test for the Panthers. I still believe Pittsburgh is a pretender this year.

4 PM Plays:

Texas Tech (-3)
Still have not bought in to Oklahoma State. The Red Raiders have had almost a week off after their win at Ohio State. When Knight has several days to prepare, he is dangerous.

Purdue (+9)
Purdue will finally return home after this game. They need to end this tough road trip with a win.

Washington State (+1)
Dick Bennett's style will frustrate the run and gun Trojans, who are very undisciplined.

Add:

South Carolina (+1)
SC out to prove they are for real. GA still might be too high off their win over Georgia Tech.

Late add:

Stanford (+4)
Stanford played not so good against ASU on Thurs and Arizona was dominant over Cal. But the unpredictable Pac-10 has me on the dog.

Add for 7 PM:

Illinois St (+1)
Why is a team that is winless on the road against a team (Indiana St) that is good at home (4-1) only a 1-point dog?

Kentucky (-9)

Vanderbilt's first true road test.
