SIUED +26 @ Indiana
SIUED at 4-3 and 3-3 ats scoring 68.7 ppg and giving up 74.3 ppg for a diff of -5.6
INDY at 5-1 and 2-2 ats scoring 86.5 ppg giving up 69.2 ppg for a diff of 17.3
Diff of 23 and home worth 5 around 28 with the line set at 26. I do know that I read last night that Anunoby (ankle) will miss two games. That's 12.5 ppg and 6 rebs, 1.5 blocks a 57% fg and 38% form 3 pt land. He will be missed. Those are his stats on paper that don't take account for how many def plays he makes on deflected passes or altering shots, things of that nature that his energy provides. Add to that Blackmon is not 100% yet and IU explosiveness will be down somewhat. I am hoping that the big W over NC helps somewhat but not counting on that. I'm sure Crean will remind them of Fort Wayne game. If IU gets out and ahead if Crean has any sense at all (I wonder sometimes) then key players shouldn't be out on the court to prevent further injury before conf time starts.
I just thin the SIUED team will play hard and stay within this large number. They are well coached, have some decent players back and some transfers that will help their cause.
Duquense @ Pitt -13 1/2 (2)
DUQU at 3-5 and 3-4 ats scoring 72.1 ppg and giving up 75.8 ppg for a diff of -3.6
PITT at 6-1 and 2-4-1 ats scoring 80.1 ppg giving up 73.3 ppg for a diff of 6.9
A diff of 10. 10 1.2 points with Pitt worth 3-4 at home. Line is close. I still really like Pitt in this game.
Pitt is 10-0 straight up in this series with a average score of 77.3 to 61.7
Pitt is also 8-2 ats in this series. (like it)
Pitt has had enough time to adjust to Stallings as I'm sure he has adjusted to his current players. Plus, I would think he is aware that Vandy has started to get some nice point dd w's now. Always in a coaches mind when he leaves a team is how they are doing without him. I mean their always checking the results out.
Duq only W over a really bad Cleve St team.
Piyt has a couple of nice w's over Maryland and Marquette
I just think they will take care of business on this Friday night game at home.
Bama @ Texas -4 (2)
Alabama at 4-2 and 3-3 ats scoring 69.5 ppg and giving up 60.0 ppg for a diff 9.5
Texas at 3-3 and 2-3 ats scoring 69.3 ppg and giving up 66.8 ppg for a diff 2.5
Diff of 7 in favor of Bama, Surely Texas is worth at least 3 at home, Texas should still be dogs, right? Well their not, and if you look at the results for this season no wonder their not. Bama playing well and Texas has looked way over rated. Maybe they are: I don't know myself. But I do know basketball games can definitely go ways that you definitely don't expect and this one falls right into that for me anyway. Texas went after this top notch coach abd well tings were excused in his first season they are not for this season and surely the firing of Strong proves that. Definitely not saying Smart is on the hot seat. This would have to continue for another two seasons before that would happen.
Alabama is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games on the road (road is tough)
Alabama is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games on the road (good)
Texas is 16-7 SU in its last 23 games at home (still a tough place for the visiting team )
I'm sure that after the loss to Texas Arlington that Smart and the team were pretty disappointed. So the logical thing to do and the only thing to do is take care of your next game. Just like IU did after the loss to FW. Just and example, one of many that could be used. Point is: I believe they will bounce back. It's not like this talent sucks or something.
Bama with a nice start but still have lost to the decent teams like Dayton and Valpo.
So taking a chance with a team that most have wrote off already with a line that screams take Bama Texas sucks.
good luck my friends and always bet reasonably

I would love to be at that game. Two undefeated teams going at it and Baylor on their home court. Undefeated and with W's over Louisville, Mich St, Oregon, no way I'm overlooking them. All stats are very close in this one. The diff is like .3 tenth of a point. Spread is +5 1/2. I really think this one will be played close to the vest. I give the edge to Baylor with the home court (worth 4 to me 5 if it were a night game) but it will take 6 points to beat me. I kind of think this one will play out like the Cincy game the other night. And if I'm losing or winning big maybe half time might provide some options.
I still play some NFL and college games. Just haven't been posting them for close to a month now.
good luck Gizmo and I'll be on your Baylor team a lot this year as they are already 4-1 ats, so is X
