So far I'm leaning Morehead St as J Madisons second leader scorer Kyle Swanston at 14 pts a game and best 3 pt threat at 44% is questionable with an ankle injury and Morehead St, besides being at home has played a lot better lately...winning 3 in a row before losing last game by only 6 to Illinois St on the road, while J Madison has played most games vs lesser competition.

The Dukes got off to a .500 start through its first eight games despite a rash of injuries and illness that forced him to play without forward Juwann James and guard Abdulai Jalloh, two of his best players.

Yeah. I saw that there were no injuries and Juwann James their best player besides (Jalloh-out for season) just returned from injury and is now their leading scorer.
JMAD are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 road games (thats scary)
But James Madison did annihilate them last year, with most of those players back for Madison. But the numbers are skewed a little bit, Madison shot lights out in that game while Morhead strggled.

Childish Gambino...that's it
|
Using Pomeroy and Sagarin ratings, the go ahead goes to JMU. However, standings ATS (4-0 last 4) goes to MSU. As for me, I'm leaning towards JMU, but that might mean go with MSU after wednesday...

Hmmm interesting. I like the fact that they just got James back. Covers is showing no injuries and they have been pretty reliable. Let me check another site real quick.

morehead is real small....one guy at 6' 8" and the rest at 6' 5" or smaller....the experience goes with james madison...have any of you guys seen either of these teams??

MSU going to have a problem guarding Swanston assuming he is playing. The kid is 6'7 playing at a guard position/wing. He caused problems for MSU last year and I will expect the same ths year.

If he plays james madison is the play. If he doesnt play then its a no play for me. Heck I probably still play it just because its a early game and keeps me busy.

I actually like James Madison but interested in that leading scorer so might wait on that.

Early bets showing public on Morhead by 67%. Maybe by waiting before game time we actually might get some value.

Thespread.com -reliable Shows his injury
covers.com -reliable Doesnt show his injury
I also read yahoo.com on the team report usually posted every few days and he must of literally got hurt yesterday because Madisons coach was talking about how he finally has everyone healthy and not sick.

I'm pretty sure i'm taking morehead st....they finished 3rd in the OVC last year and have 7 of their top scorers/rebounders from last year and adding in their recent play...if swanston's out that would lock it in for me....

Maybe, Im locking my pick in the late AM. Maybe by then we will get a clarification on whether the kid is playing or not. Would like to get it at +3.5 or 4

Im probably not going to touch this game if I cant find out if Swanston is playing or not. If he is then its Madison +3.5, if not then maybe touch the total.
