Notre Dame Fighting Irish +6.5 (-110), 2 units:
Mike Brey with time to prepare and getting points? OK. Spartans looked amazing last time out but a lot of that was due to North Carolina's inept offense. MSU is not a dynamic offense and these teams are very evenly matched. Just too many points even for Izzo at home.

Xavier Musketeers -2.5 (-110), 1 unit:
The Bearcats are going to focus on Bluett...he went for 40 last year. Look for Macura to be the difference.

Wichita State Shockers -2.5 (-110), 1 unit: The Bears have one ball handler in Lecomte. That won't work against the Shockers.

Minnesota Golden Gophers -12.5 (-110), 1 unit:
First road game for the Scarlet Knights and first real step up in competition. Maximum effort from the Golden Gophers after an embarrassing loss to Miami.

Maryland Terrapins -2.5 (-110), 1 unit:
Hangover effect for the Illini after the heartbreaker at Northwestern. Too much size for the Terrapins. As long as they protect the ball Maryland should be in good shape.

Wisconsin Badgers +5 (-110), 1 unit:
This is not a great Badger team but it's not nearly as bad as they looked on Saturday. Ohio State had a ridiculous ppp that even the Kaminsky/Dekker teams wouldn't have overcome. This is a season defining game for Wisconsin. Win and they can breathe again with the softer part of their non-conference schedule coming up, lose and it's going to be a long year. Max effort and focus tonight from the Badgers.

VCU Rams +7 (-110), 1 unit:
First true road game for the Longhorns. Really tough place to bring a young team. Look for max effort from the Rams against their former coach. Texas wins but it will be close.

Virginia Cavaliers +3 (-110), 1 unit:
Major revenge spot for the Cavaliers tonight. This team is more equipped to attack the press than last years team and this year's Mountaineers team is not as well positioned to play at Virginia's tempo.

Villanova Wildcats -4.5 (-110), 1 unit: Battle of the guards versus battle of the front court. I'll take the guards. Look for Wright and the Wildcats to pressure the Bulldogs the same way Texas did when they made their huge comeback. Virtual home game for Villanova.

Syracuse Orange -6 (-110), 1 unit: The Huskies do not shoot it well enough or move the ball well enough to give this zone problems. If Connecticut can't shoot it well and the Orange continue to not give up offensive rebounds they get past Connecticut.

Vermont Catamounts +3.5 (-110), 1 unit: Getting value here as the Catamounts laid a turd in their last game. This is a very good, experienced, athletic Vermont team. The Golden Eagles also have rival Wisconsin up next.

Grand Canyon Antelopes +5.5 (-110), 1 unit: Antelopes get a home game against a big time program. Both teams are going to pressure the ball and both teams are going to turn it over. The difference to me is that LoVett did not make the trip for the Red Storm and he is a big part of what they do on offense and defense.

Wichita State Shockers -5 (-110), 1 unit:
Cowboy guards are going to struggle with the pace and pressure and their big men are going to struggle in the paint.

Minnesota Golden Gophers +5 (-110), 1 unit: Razorbacks have an advantage in the backcourt but the Gophers have too much size and athleticism down low.

Arizona Wildcats -9.5 (-110), 1 unit: Wildcats finally have everyone healthy. Their D and second chance points will be the difference in this one.

UNLV Rebels -5.5 (-110), 1 unit: Every time the Illini have gone on the road or stepped up in class they've struggled. Rebels defend really well and should have an advantage on the glass.

Cincinnati Bearcats -1.5 (-110), 1 unit:
Bearcats were embarrased against Xavier. Expect their defensive intensity and size to carry them tonight.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights -11 (-110), 1 unit:
First true road game for a young Rams team. Neither team has a very good offense. Scarlet Knights have a good defense and and advantage on the offensive glass.

Houston Cougars -2 (-110), 1 unit:
Cougars are quietly putting together a nice season. Their pace combined with the Tigers inability to prevent offensive rebounds should give them a good shot at a road win tonight.

Tennessee Volunteers +1.5 (-110), 1 unit:
Barnes had success against Tar Heels when he was at Texas. Vols need to keep North Carolina off the offensive glass and they win the game.

Penn State Nittany Lions -10.5 (-110), 1 unit:
Yup. Just laid double digits with the Nittany Lions on the road. Penn State has better athletes and their zone pressure should stymie the Patriots.

UCSB Gauchos +12.5 (-110), 1 unit: Gauchos coach very familiar with Trojans from his time at Arizona. USC not good enough on D to lay double digits.
