1/5 College Hoops (107-80-5 YTD; 11-4 Run)

7 PM plays (still looking at later games):

Providence (-1)
Texas's first true road game tonight. Providence will play them zone and Texas's strength is dribble penetration, not outside shooting. The Longhorns will miss shots which will lead to transition buckets for the Friars.

Furman (+4)
Furman has won 3 straight at home and their largest loss was only 8 at UNC Greensboro. Plus, they played 2 Big 10 teams, Minnesota and Ohio St, down to the wire on the road.

8 o'clock hour plays:

Wisconsin-Milwaukee (-4)
UWM is struggling with 2 bad losses out West. However, they play a Detroit team that just came off a conference road win (at UIC, no less).

UWM is a tough beat at home.

Wisconsin-Green Bay (+3')
Wright State just finally beat Butler after a couple years of close calls. Everyone in the Horizon gets up for Butler. I see a letdown here.

Kansas (-3')
CU is usually tough at home and they beat Kansas last year. However, CU has been going in the tank recently.

I think KU will get a lot of open shots and transition buckets against a poor defensive team (see Utah game 2nd half).

4-1 night tonight. Close to 5-0 but the controversial Providence finish took that chance away.

111-81-5 YTD (15-5 L3 days).

Nice job HD .... couldn't pull the trigger on my Jayhawks tonight but they looked good .... starting to get Self's coaching a bit now. What about Indy/Wisky game tomorrow?? (-14 seems like alot in this match-up)

I am leaning towards Indiana here, but usually this line is high for a reason. Part of me thinks it is an overreaction to their performance against Temple.
