2*UNC -9
Bama now 349th in D1 with over 20 turnovers a game. I will let you guess as to how many more DI teams there are. Now shooting 3 ball at 29% which is more unfortunate because Oats’ system has them launching over 25 a game. This isn’t the best ever UNC team and their early season results show that. However, they like to play fast and Alabama’s new tempo should free them up and they should play better as a result. Assuming Alabama doesn’t deviate too much from the norm, the extra possessions(turnovers) and the empty possessions(poor 3 point shooting) should allow UNC to pull away and cover this short number comfortably.

Northern Iowa/South Carolina Under 126
The Panthers are consistently one of America’s slowest paced teams. Throw in a neutral floor and South Carolina’s offensive struggles and we should have a game in the 50’s.
IPFW -9
Still no word as to why Patrick Beilein really resigned and it will take more time for the Purple Eagles to gel as a result. And now they have to travel for a non-conference matchup on Thanksgiving eve. Every metric favors the Mastodons. No common opponents, but Stetson is probably a fair equivalent of Niagara and IPFW hammered them by 24.
Oregon -1.5
Ducks seem to be a little better on both ends of the floor right now and hopefully their d can contain Powell just enough for the W.

Makes the most sense. At 36 years of age, health issues were unlikely. How do you see the West Virginia game playing out? I was leaning Shockers, but would love your take.
South Dakota State-4.5
Samford is traveling 1000 miles to South Dakota before they swing back to Louisiana for a game against LT on Saturday. The Bulldogs have been horrendous on the road so far this year. If they can’t drive up to Florence and win at UNA, it is likely they struggle here against a team that beat UNA. Will definitely be taking a good luck at their Saturday matchup as well.
I lean to Wichita tonight. But the wvu should have a size advantage. Oscar only played 14min and culver didnt make a shot. Also, I wouldnt be surprised if martin from sc talked with huggs about the scouting report some since they are close. Wvu shot overall horrible last night so it's hard to think they dont play a little better tonight

San Diego State -1
Creighton shoots the 3 ball extremely well, but the Aztecs are one of the nation’s best at shutting down the 3 so perimeter damage should be somewhat limited. The difference will be on the other end of the court. As you might expect from a perimeter oriented team, the Bluejays are somewhat soft on the defensive end. The Aztecs have a balanced rotation ( 5 players averaging between 9-13 ppm) filled with juniors and seniors that don’t turn the ball over and do a good job on the boards. Look for them to make this game more physical than Creighton would like and get the win.
