2.5*Buffalo-1.5

Buffalo dropped a tough one to Bowling Green Saturday-they cannot afford to drop this one as one of the MAC favorites.CMU is off their first road win in quite some time and may have a letdown.The Braves are better offensively and defensively and I think they will get a comfortable win.

1*La.Tech-pick
I know the Hawaii game was somewhat of an aberation,but Nevada's guard play was absolutely atrocious.Sessions is a freshman point guard and I am going to bet against him in his first conference road game.Mix in a lot of Millsap and a lack of Wolfpack three point shooting and I think we have a winner.

Hawaii

Off topic somewhat, but what is your opinion regarding the Rainbows. As long as they stick to that offense, I think they can run with anybody in the WAC and would play many schools tough. Their problem is no depth and the tendency to get away from the offense later in the game. Early in the game, they look focused, move the ball around and shoot well. Later, perhaps because of being tired, they start taking bad shots and playing one-on-one. They very easily could have beaten Fresno St. and had Nevada on the ropes.

Nice night on Wednesday. You, Kap and others post so quickly. I wish I was disciplined enough to handicap the overnight lines when they come out. My mind is more fresh in the morning. I've noticed lines tend to move my way as well, so I'll probably be posting later during conference play.

Anyhow, keep up the good work. We got the Wisconsin-GB money back tonight!
