Sunday: 1-3. -4.20
Overall: 7-4. +6.50
Weird day. Lost 2 games that I thought I had wrapped up, and won 1 where I thought I had no chance. Good thing there are games everyday cause I want to get yesterday far out of my mind.

C. Mich +1 -110
As short handed as C. Mich is their opponent may be in worse shape. Missouri St who I didn't think would be any good to begin with will be missing with 2 key contributor's, Shane Laurie, and Justin Fehrmeyer. That leaves them with a dangerously thin backcourt. Without those 2 they have virtually no fire power. I expect buckets to be tough to come by against a Cent Mich team that is focused on defense. Coach Ziegler knows they won't out score many opponents so defense must win them games. That should be the case Monday. Missouri St got blasted Friday and it should have been worse. Aubrun went 11-27 from the free throw line, and Missour St knocked down 11 three pointers. I don't expect them to make that many 3's in a single game the rest of the season. I played against the Bears Friday, and will continue to fade them until they show me they can score. They may be able to steal a few wins at home, but don't expect them to fair well on the road at all. Their is cautious optimism that year 3 of the Ziegler era the Chipps can contend for a league title and winning their home opener will go a long way in setting the tone for the season. They won a tough game short handed at Princeton, and expect them to build off that and protect their home court.
