Sat is a smorgasboard of games in the NCAA. I have a few games to help in making some money for all of us.

Michigan St. -3.5 - Rough start and tough schedule to start the year for Spartans. They have looked very unimpressive vs Kansas and Duke. I believe that will change vs Sooners today. New starters in backcourt for OU playing their first road game as well as game vs top notch competition. Izzo and Sampson are top coaches so it should be a solid defensive game. I feel MSU needs its a little worse and will play very inspired and come out with solid victory.

St. Louis +9- Billikens played poor road game vs West Virginia earlier this week but this will be played at home in the Savvis Center with a sold out home audience. St. Louis over the past 6 years have been a very good home team and have knocked off many top teams. Arizona is a young inexperienced top ten team who has yet to play in front of hostile crowd. They will struggle in this one with St. Louis a live dog.

Missouri -2.5- Tigers had part of the whammy lifted off their back Thurs when NCAA said there were no academic fraud they found so far in the Ricky Clemens investigation. Though the investigation is still on going on the gifts and cash, this was a big relief on the coaching staff. This team has been playing the first 2 games as if they don't know if they have anything to play for. They will be ready today against Hoosiers. Missouri knows if they played the way they did against Coppin St. and Oakland they will lose to Indiana. Missouri in my opinion is one of the most talented teams in country and they will begin to show that today in Bloomington.

Detroit +10.5 - Detroit definitely has the team speed to give Badgers fits. If they can not turnvover the ball, they have shot in this one.

Washington St. -5.5 - Bennett's style of play will TCU in this one.

Gonzaga +2.5- Experienced and already well tested team should win against young Maryland team

Good luck.

Ucla +8.5 - First big game at Ucla for Coach Ben and I think he will have Bruins in this game from start to finish. If they can limit turnovers, they can beat Kentucky.

Have you seen UCLA play? They're horrible. They should have lost to vermont. I think Kentucky is the call as they should run UCLA out of the gym.

whatever makes you nervous,

This will be a tight game for Zona. St. Louis has sold out this game as rarely does a top 10 nonconference opponent visit St. Louis. This is one of the underrated home floor advantages in the country. Ask Cincy,Memphis, and Louisville.
St. Louis played tight for a half last year in the desert but will force Zona to play their methodical style this year. Arizona will struggle against this tough matchup zone. Look for Zona to win but barely.

Gonzaga wins big and with Missouri big comeback, brings day to 4-1. Hopefully can finish strong.

Thanks Tahoerebel! I looked at Rice and I think they are a better team than Tulane but laying 5 on the road is tough. I lean towards Rice but not a game I would put a lot of money on.
