DePaul +5 vs. <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Louisville</st1:place></st1:City>

Interesting turnaround spot here for Louisville which played a strenuous track meet on Thursday night vs.Charlotte and now has to go on the road and play an early Saturday morning game in Chicago. DePaul has lost at home just once this year, and that was in the first two weeks of the season on the heels of their first quarter finals week. They’ve held serve in every home game since, including an impressive 19 pt. win vs. Cincy when Cincy was in a similar short turnaround situation. Demons will more than hold their own on the boards and matchup on Greer might pose a problem for Louie. Louie looking for the regular season CUSA crown, but it won’t come easy in this spot.

Nice Post. Louisville Had Two Very Emotional In Games Vs Ncchar And @ Memphis. Depaul Solid Team, So I'll Take The 5 At Home On Espn.

Like this one myself. Not only do you get a decent home team but the spot is excellent and you get 5 points to boot. I'm in!

A thread takes on an entirely new aura when xfiles is in the house. Addding a few more dogs for the daylight action. Have a profitable day everyone.

Dayton +7 @ Xavier
Two very evenly matched teams that just played a low 50s snorefest two weeks ago. Just 83 shots taken in that game as both teams tried to out-tempo the other. If this one follows that form, 7 points will be a lot.


Stanford +6, -114 vs. Washington
Like the situation here with a tourney-bound home dog off an L taking on a road fave off a blowout.

One favorite today:
Mississippi State -3 vs. Bama
Do you remember that ESPN Tuesday night game when Bama pounded the Bulldogs 98-49? Do you remember how Bama coach Gottfried left his starters in most of the 2nd half even with a 40 point lead and they kept firing treys into the last minute of the game up 50? It was one of the worst displays of sportsmanship and running up the score by a coach and team all season. MSU remembers. They have had this one circled in blood for a month. The fundamentals are pretty good too, but this one is about paybacks. Time for Gottfried to get his today and his kids will pay the price for his gluttony.

C2C,

Like your plays. Trees should be tough as a home dog. I am seriously looking at an UNDER play on the X/Flyer game. GL w/ your selections! Not a big system man but Bulldogs are an unranked fav vs. a ranked team category.

Semper Fi,

Lt. Dan

Nice call C2C. looked like we were gonna get backdoored there. I had 5.5 but anyone that had 5 got lucky cause that was not a 3 at the buzzer.

I didn't think it was a trey either and it was very sad that it even came to that last shot as this game was a 1-4 pt. game for 39.5 minutes. DePaul missed mucho opps. the last minute and I marked this up as a disgusted L with 6 seconds left. So with great sympathy to the Louisville backers who were jobbed by the bad call on the last shot, I will take the W with all due humility.

Adding:

Cincinnati-2 @ Memphis
Taking a VERY rare road favorite here, fading a Memphis team that is as inconsistent as they come. Memphis looks like a team that's dragging to the finish line as they have shot poorly recently (35% and 20% last two games) and have shot a very poor 40% at home all season. Don't see them putting together a good offensive game against a Cincy team that holds opponents to 38% shooting. Bearcats O has kicked it into higher gear, as they've averaged 48% shooting and 80 ppg last 5 games. Calipari just 1-6 lifetime against Huggins. Can't see a W in this spot.
