UT Arlington -13 1/2 -105
UTA at 5-2 and 5-1 ats
NT at 2-4 and 0-4 ats
UTA are very good. They have beaten Fordham 77-72, won at Ohio St 73-68, won at Memphis 68-64,, won at Rice 92-74, lost at Texas 80-73 in OT. Now that's a team that has been tested and have passed with flying colors. They have 10 players that average 12 minutes or more. They shoot ft's at 72% and although their to's are up at 15 a game, I attribute that to their level of competition. 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 4 game skid losing to Idaho, Samford, Troy, and N. Iowa. They turn it over 16 times a game and are shooting 674,4 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.
Kentucky -5 1/2 -110
This will be a really tough test for Kentucky on the road against a historic program. It will be their first true road game with a very young team of studs. They are still listing Tyler Ulis as day to day and he's not down in the Kentucky notes as a starter for this game. If you remember the half time score of this game last year in a tournament in Chicago was 41-7, Kentucky went on to win by 39 points. You can't tell me that won't be on the Bruins minds. Dangerous game really, but I really do like the line and think Kentucky can cover it. Most of the Kentucky players from last year moved on and this bunch of players are still very talented (not as talented as last years team imo) and I think they will wear down a UCLA team that just doesn't play defense that well in the 3 games that I've watched. The place definitely will be rocking.
Colorado St over 155 -110
CS are 5-0 on the o/u and 4-0 at home o/u. They score at 91.7 and give up 85.8 ppg. I've seen them play twice now and they are explosive and hopefully the 3's are falling. Their two guards are shooting a respectively 41.9 and 48.4 from 3 pt land. The team is 38%. They shoot ft's at 77%. I like free points.
LBS are 4-1 on the o/u and scoring 73.0 and allowing 74.7 ppg and shoot 37.8 from 3pt land.
Wisc Milw -16 -110
Wisc Mil at 5-3 and 4-3 ats.
SIUED are 1-5 and 2-3 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. Tnis Milw team has played together and has some talent. They played Duquense and ND both close and their schedule has been petty tough. The line is a little higher than I expected, but I'm still betting on Milw in this one. They have the better offense, defense, 77% ft, hit 9 3's per game to 5 for SIUED, taking a shot MIlw.
Oklahoma -30 -110
Ok at 4-0 and 2-0 ats and scoring 82.5 ppg allowing 61.3 ppg, for a diff of 21.3
C.Ark at 1-5 and no lined games 0-0 scoring 75.3 ppg and giving up 85.0 ppg, for a diff -9.7
So they make the line at 30. Oklahoma last palyed back on Nov. 29 and beat Wiscy 65-48. (17) We all know Wiscy is down but they sure looked good last night and have a decent record. Anyway, back to point, Oklahoma after this game, does not play again till Nov.7 with Nova on deck. This veteran team with 4 starters back under Kruger's reign will not change anything, they will run and gun, and get transition points off rebounds and to's. Kruger will want to see a lot of stuff since they have been off awhile and have only played 4 games so far this season. Central Ark is in trouble in my honest opinion. They agive up85 ppg and now are playing a team like Oklahoma at home. I may be wrong again, but playing the Sooners.
good luck everyone

WILL HE PLAY TONIGHT IS THE ?
Ulis Day-To-Day With Elbow Injury
John Calipari and Kentucky (6-0 straight up, 2-4 against the spread) spent the holiday down in Florida at the HoopHall Miami Invitational. The only action the Wildcats saw was Friday against South Florida, a relatively easy 84-63 win for UK. It was the third consecutive game Kentucky closed as a favorite of more than 20 points, and third contest in a row Wildcats backers were left with losing tickets as the 21-point final margin fell just short of the 22 point spread.
The only bad news to come from the trip was starting guard Tyler Ulis missing all of the second half due to a hyperextended elbow, an injury he suffered diving for a loose ball. The sophomore is officially listed as questionable, though Calipari said it was not serious and he fully expected Ulis to suit up.
Ulis is averaging 13.2 points per game, third on the team, and stuffing his boxscore a team-leading 4.3 assists along with 3.8 rebounds a contest. In his absence, Isaiah Briscoe shifted to point with Charles Matthews and Dominique Hawkins picking up Ulis' minutes. If Ulis can't play tonight, expect Hawkins to get the start.
This will be Kentucky's fifth home game of the season to go with two neutral-site contests. The Wildcats will finally experience life in a hostile gym this Thursday when they travel to Los Angeles to battle the UCLA Bruins.

United - Nice analysis, its much appreciated.
-I really like the UTA play, they are a solid team that has a chance to get some national attention if they stay healthy. Im going to go in on this one, especially after the way they played against texas.
-UK is interesting, another young calipari team trying to find their identity early on, my gut is telling me that this is UCLA's superbowl. The latest trend has been mouth watering odds for the favorite (ok st, cuse), then the dog winning at around 3-6 pts. We shall see.
