jump in on the limited card....
i really have 2 questions mostly......first
WVU -4 1/2.......i have seen many an analyst say that Villanova's ranking and record is a product of not playing anyone in the non conference (best win is dayton i believe) and a completely back loaded Big East schedule. What are people's thoughts on this game? WVU seems to have put things together at home and really, outside of beating Georgetown in a game they really didn't finish off strong, what has VIL done to make me back them today? I am not a huge big east follower so anyone with a good angle on this jump in. I don't like VIL off the loss and having to lay 4 1/2 points but maybe it's the right side??
TEX +1...........anyone feel TEX +1 is worth a play either on 1H or game? Lets be honest, KU has not looked anything close to a #1 team in the last 2 weeks. Escaped @ Colorado and @KState and then really was not real good at home versus Nebraska. TEX has MAJOR issues and i think they are like 2-5 in their L7 games. Anyone feel they circle the wagons here? I want no part of KU and you'll never convince me to take a team on the road laying points who hasn't been playing well, especially in this situation where you will have a pumped up team and crowd for TEX on big monday and with TEX desperate to get a good win under its belt. So it's TEX or nothing for me. Would like to hear some thougths on this game.
NMSU -2 is another intriguing game. NMSU beat LATECH in Rustin by 14 about 10 days ago. Now they are a 2 point favorite at home. LATECH is a pretty good road team and are 3-1 in conference on the road ("granite" they beat probably 3 worst teams in the league) and they also won at Houston which is a decent road win (january). I am thinking of backing LATECH in this one as Nevada beat NMSU @ Las Cruces earlier in the year so they are not infallable there. This game is for a share of the WAC lead tied with Utah State at 8-2. If LATECH loses this game they are a game back both schools and finishing 1st or second is big in this league as any two of the last 3 teams to make the WAC tourney (9th place finisher is assed out) should be easy pickings (hawaii, idaho and boise) so seeding matters.
any other games chime in.
