ISU 3-3 and 3-3 ats
Butler 5-1 and 3-3 ats

Butler won last year at ISU 77-54.
ISU shooting 33.9 fg and 64.4 ft and 29 from pt land with 12 to's
Butler shooting 50.9 fg and 72.8 ft and 36.8 from 3 pt land and 9 to's
ISU coming off a bad loss at E Illinois and Butler off a big W at Cincy.
Butler the much tougher schedule so far.
ISU season ticket holder here, and it would take a miraculous effot effort for them to compete in this game.
#732 LaSalle -7 1/2 -105
Drexel at 0-6 and 1-4 ats
LaSalle at 4-2 and 1-3 ats
Drex scoring at 68.5 and giving up 76.2 for a diff of -7.7
Las scoring at 76.5 and giving up 71 for a diff of 5.5
Drex shooting 41.8 fg and 63,3 ft and making 5.2 3's a game and 4.2 steals
I like the stats on all of the above.
Drex coming off a loss to San Diego (One of the lowest scoring teams in the NCAA and they are not very good? while LaSalle coming off a tough 84-80 loss to a tough Hofstra team. Flint will have Drex fired up but LaSalle Jordon Price will be tough to stop.
#735 New Mexico +14 -105
New Mexico has 3 key players that I was not aware of until tonight. HC Neal's son is back after a early injury last year that kept him out the rest of the season. He also has two transfers that are just killing it so far. Mix in a couple of starters from last year and they ae a very solid team to spot this many points to IMO
3 key players that weren't playing last year for NM:
Neal: scoring 17 ppg and shooting 89% ft and 38$ from 3 pt
Brown: Son of NBA coach Mike Brown, scoring 17 ppg, 5.8 rebs, and 89.7 ft%
Williams: 6'8 240 pounds transfer from Samford, 17.5 ppg and 9.2 rebs
That's a combined 51.5 ppg that they didn't have last year.
I know all about Purdue and so do you. They are tough and always tougher at home.
Still worth a shot with the points for me.
#808 Northwestern -20 -110
NW at 6-1 but 0-3-2 ats
SIEUD at 1-6 and 3-3 ats.
SIUED returned no starters and their record shows that they have a long way to go. After winning their opener, they have not won since, losing last at home to GB by 18. They cost me Thursday only losing by 13 to Milw Wis, but now after killing a day they play at NW. NW 0-3 ats at home. They need a coaster. They haven't played since 12-3beating VT at VT, and don't play again until 12-13. Coach will play his starters longer because of that. NW has some tough shooters on the team.
#820 Memphis -23 -110
Memphis 4-2 and 2-3 ats
SEMO at 0-6 and 1-3 ats
Really just a complete mismatch on paper. SEMO scoring 59.7 ppg and giving up 78. They only shoot 51.6 from the ft line.
Memphis will exploit that with quick easy transition buckets. They say coach is playing for his job this season at Memphis so I can't imagine him letting up on a team like this.
#784 Xavier -18 -110
WK at 4-3 and 2-3 ats
X at 7-0 and 4-3 ats
I'm going to continue to ride one of the hottest team in college basketball. Their showing in the tournament was out of thnis world. You can check out the scores for yourself but I'm assuming thatwere all gamblers and aware of that. WK hs a decent record but not near the toughness of schedule that the X have played. To tell you the truth the line is inflated and I'm just riding them until they come down to earth.
#767 Providence +2 1/2 -115
Provo at 7-1 and 4-3 ats
Rhode Island at 5-2 and 2-3 ats
Provo shooting 76.1 fg and giving up 68 for a diff o 8.1
RI scoring 68.3 and giving up only 57.7 for a diff of 10.6
The line is right. I think other factors should have Prov the fav. Tougher schedule so far. One of the top PG in the country. Played Mich St tigh although they final score doesn't look like it. Beat top two top tier teams by 4 and 10 points. RHode I lost to top tier team (Maryland by 23 points). They have beat American, Hoy Cross, Rider, and a Cleveland St team that is down this year.
Prov is 5-1 ats last 6 in this series.
#781 S Illinois -7 -110
S Illinois at 7-1 and 2-3 ats
North Texas 2-5 and 0-5 ats
I had some info on NT in Thursday thread, going to copy and paste it right now.
North Texas returns 1 starter off a team that was 14-17 last year. They won their first 2 games over the likes of Jarvis Christian & Texas College. They are now riding a 5 game skid losing to Idaho, Samford, Troy, and N. Iowa. They turn it over 16 times a game and are shooting 64.4 from the line. The mean green do get it up and down the court and score at 83.5 and allow 76.8 ppg. Those offensive numbers are high due to the two cupcakes that they played. The spot is high, but I'll take a gamble with UTA at home.
Going to play against the bad teams until they start beating me or Vegas catches up with them.
Good luck everyone and please excuse all of the mistakes. I'm bad enough already and it's late.
