Rainy day in the office and killing some time around lunch. Thought i would toss this out.
Anyone have any upset specials for tomorrow?? Lines aren't out yet but should be in about 2+ hours.
NWU over ILL..........NWU should have beaten them earlier in the year IMO and gave one away last year as well at home to ILL. NWU has a very legitimate chance to make the tournament and end it's distinction as the ONLY big6 conference team NEVER to make the NCAA tournament (if you can believe that). This game is paramount for them and ILL to me is the most overrated team in the big10. I expect the line to be around PK to -1 or -2....like NWU at home SU actually. Thoughts?
UGA over TENN............the TENN machine is going to drop one eventually and i think this one might be the one. UGA has been VERY competitive against some of the better teams in the league so far and at home I think they can spring the upset. Tough to see TENN go TO Alabama and UGA and win in successive games in a week. And remember, Bruce Pearl is still the coach.
MIN over MSU...........not sure what the line will be and i'm actually guessing it will be right around PK to MIN as a small favorite. MSU is undefeated in conference but really hasn't been very impressive IMO and they have periods where they struggle to score. MIN has been very effective at home and with their full court press turning teams over. Tough to win on the road in the big10 and i like MIN today. Not sure if it is an upset line wise (if so a very small one) but standings wise it is.
OSU over WVU..........payback time here again for OSU. Playing some of the best basketball in the country the past couple of weeks and i will take what i expect to be a small number on the road with them (probably around +2 to +3).
Somebody's gonna open up a can games:
PUR over michigan............hasn't played 2 good halves of hoops in quite a while and something tells me they do it today. Put 1 good half together vs. Illinois and 1 vs. OSU but a complete effort should result in a 15-20 point blowout today. UM coming off of a tough and physical road game at Wisky. If PUR can carryover from the Illinois game this one gets ugly IMO.
VANDY over AUBURN............unless the 3 balls are falling all day long for AUB i don't think this one is close. VANDY playing some lights out hoops since xmas and AUB has nobody inside and should get manhandled in there.
ASU over UAZ...............i think UAZ is really going to struggle to score in this one and ASU should get more than their share to make this one a blowout. UAZ once owned this series but not anymore. Looking for something in the area of 64-47 or thereabouts.
There are several games in the MAC that i just see getting ugly fast, but will have to see what the lines are
