CBB..Today we are on Iowa State -8 over Colorado. Look for this line to move up as the day goes on. The Cyclones are loaded with 4 returning starters and two key reserves. Niang the All American who averaged over 15 ppg, will be an even threat this year. Colorado struggled last year, and will have more issues this year. It starts with a key injury to Xavier Johnson who may redshirt, and then they also need to replace leading scorer Askia Booker. They do have 4 returing starters, but only one of them averaged 6 ppg last year. Not sure where their offense comes from.
CBB...Today we are on Gonzaga - 4 1/2 over Pittsburgh. The Bulldogs are loaded for another great year as they had 35 wins last year. Wiljier/Sabonis and Kazewski give them a huge front line. Perkins who sat out last year with an injury comes back to them also. For Pittsburgh, they are hoping a trio of young forwards helps them. The problem is that they lack size, and that they do not have a proven scorer amoung them.
CBB...Today we are on Arizona -23 over Pacific. Arizona has the longest home winning streak in NCAAB at 38, and that will continue tonight. This team got stronger with the addition of transfers Ryan Anderson and Marc Tollefson added to their lineup. Pacific will suffer tonight with three key suspensions for misconduct. The lost their 2nd leading scorer in Thompson, they also lose another starter in Kobre who hit 45 3 pointers last year, and they lost Elarey who was a presence down low with 25 blocks. Tonight, they lose lots of talent and depth against a very strong team.
Today, also take the following:
In the NBA....Cleveland -6 over New York
In NCAAF......Take USC/Colorado over 60
