#732 Butler -22 1/2 -110
VMI at 3-4 and 1-2 ts
Butler at 6-1 and 3-4 ats
VMI 3 wins over Tusclum, Presbyterian, and Central Penn College, losses to Penn st by 12, VT by 26, Cambell b y 1 and Ohio St beat them by 27
VMI scoring 71.4 ppg and giving up 71.7
Butler scoring 91.1 ppg and giving up 72
Only stat goes to VMI at 80% ft, but B utlet does shoot 73.6%
VMI struggling a bit under their new coach and new system. I really don't look for them to find it against Butler. Butler doesn't play again until 12-12 at home against Tenn.
Butler has taken care of the weaker teams so far, winning games by 104-71 over Citadel, 93-59 Missouri St, got ISU by 14 and Temple by 5, and a big win at Cincy by 2.
#734 Purdue -21 1/2 -110
IUPUI at 3-6 and 5-3 ats
Purdue at 8-0 and 3-1 ats
IUPUI scoring 69.3 and giving up 73.1 for a diff of -3.8
Purdue scoring 81.1 and giving up 57.5 for a diff of 23.5
No way they could make the line at 27. IUPUI have played a decent schedule. They have a good starting 5 but aren't a very deep team.
Last year Purdue won this game 20 and were a 24 1/2 fav. I happen to think Purdue is much better this year. They will dominate inside as they average 46 boards a game.
Purdue has won games by 41, 28, 35, 22 over Old D, 15 over Florida (N), 22, 13 at Pitt, and 12 over NM. And with Howard on deck in a couple of days there is no way they will overlook a state team.
#735 W. Illinois +17 -110
WI at 6-1 and 3-1 ats
Iowa at 6-2 and 2-3 ats
WI have been tested. They won at Wiscy, thery won at Ill Ch 84-57, won at E. Illinois by 20.
WI score 80mppg and give up 62 for a diff of 18
Iowa score 83 and give up 68.6 for a diff of 14.4 In defense of Iowa tey have had a heck of a schedule with their losses to Dayton by 5 and Notre Dame by 6.
IMO this line should be around 14.
Iowa has Iowa St at Iowa St up next. A;; it takes is little overlook against a spunky team.
WI shooting 51.5% on fg, and 74.1 from the line, 50.5 from 3 pt land, only 10 to's a game
They have two players that are on fire:
Covington scoring 18.5 ppg shooting 51.3 fg, 94% ft and 51% from 3 pt land
Fuller scoring 18.2 ppg, shooting 58.2 fg%, and 90% ft, and 72.2 from 3 pt land
Iowa are 1-2 ats at home so far
W. ILL are 2-1 ats away so far
Probably regret it but taking the points and the dog at a very tough venue.
good luck everyone
