I am puzzled as well. The public, as you stated, always loves the Over. My guys in the "office" were absolutely stunned when I put up on the board the public's betting trend for this game. One of my guys just ran a consensus report and that report has the public Over down to 53%. Another consensus report that just came through has the public's over at 57%. Curious to see what happens with the public betting trend by 3:00 p.m.
Rhode Island vs Fordham Rams
723 Rhode Island -12½ -155 vs Fordham
1.00/0.65
Both teams are called The Rams but that is where the similarity ends.
I am taking Rhode Island in this match up. Rhode Island has been very sharp at both ends of the court in it's current ten game winning streak. They should have no problem against a weak Fordham team. Fordham is struggling to score points averaging a measly 52 points in their last five games. It is now shooting an abysmal 40.5% on the season. Rhode Island has allowed 65 or fewer points in seven out of it's last ten games. Furthermore, Fordham is not playing strong defense and they are one of the worst rebounding teams in the country as well.
YTD
5-2 = 71% +2.29

They are an outstanding defensive team and are limiting the opposition to 62 points, good for sixth in the country.
The Mustangs will take plenty of confidence from their recent run. The Huskies are on a two-game losing streak, with their morale shot after a rout at the hands of Villanova.

607 LSU +10½ (-110)
LSU vs Auburn
1.10/1.00
It’s Tigers vs. Tigers in the SEC. LSU faces No. 19 Auburn on Saturday night. Auburn has been the suprise of the SEC and has won two straight since lsoing their first conference game of the season. Former VCU coach Will Wade has LSU playing some serious defense.
LSU did lose three straight games before beating Texas A&M, 77-65 at home on Tuesday. Freshman guard Tremont Waters leads LSU in scoring with 15.7 points, in assists with 6.0 per game and steals (2.4spg). Duop Reath led the Tigers with 21 points and eight rebounds against the Aggies. Their defense held A&M to just 39.4 percent from the field..
Auburn is 18-2 and 6-1 in the SEC. Their offense has been unstoppable at times.They’ve scored 50 points in half nine times this season. They have great depth and they have nine players averaging over 13 minutes a game. They lead the SEC with 85.6 points per game and rank 13th in the nation.
Auburn has an issue and it’s Bryce Brown, who is questionable with ankle injury and is averaging 16.4 points per game. This one is a Top Dog as the Underdog is 15-7 ATS the last 22 in this series and the road team is 7-0 ATS the last 7 in this series. LSU is 3-1 on the road and with Brown hampered by the ankle injury, this is a perfect spot for them to cover and win this game outright

This Huskies team has been much better as of late as UCONN has gone 4-2 straight up and 3-3 ATS. It looks like a close loss again Sunday.
