Default Thursday Plays/Leans

Oklahoma State (-7)
Tulsa has big time injury problems with center Jerome Jordan and starting forward Ray Reese both questionable for the game. Oklahoma State should roll over an injured Tulsa team

Xavier (-3.5)
Really don't understand why Xavier is only a 3.5 point favorite in this game. Xavier only gets a handful of chances to play with power conference teams. Xavier is a legit team this year and I'm not sold on Missouri being that great.

Duke/Southern Illinois OVER 137.5
Don't play many totals usually, but this seems like a great spot. Southern Illinois gave up 80 points to UMass and put up 73 themselves. Duke is going to score in the 70's at worst because SIU's defense isn't up to par right now. Southern Illinois will shock some people by putting up no worse than 65 points. I don't see how this game goes under unless it's a blowout and SIU just somehow doesn't score.

Seton Hall (+14.5) and OVER 128.5
Pac 10/Big East showdown with the Big East team getting a lot of points and it being on a neutral site? I like SH here because I see this game being close with around 10 minutes left. I thought about the ML but I think USC pulls away at the end. This game should be in the high 60's, low 70's and Seton Hall shouldn't get beat by double digits.

Virginia Tech (-8.5)
In late, but I made the phone call QUICK as soon as my friend texted me about the line being down to 8.5. Seems a little fishy, but I don't think Fairfield will be able to stay within single digits of Virginia Tech. Tech shot the ball poorly last game and had a scare, but I don't read anything else into that game then VT shooting the ball poorly.

Michigan (+9.5)
Manny Harris is a stud and I've been really impressed with Michigan so far this year. I honestly am not buying into the UCLA hype this year. I think Michigan will make this a competitive game, but I think somehow UCLA will pull a rabbit out of is hat and win the game




I'm going to wait until tommorow to check out injuries for everybody, but not many games jump out in my eyes

I think Xavier is going to struggle early this year without Duncan and Lavender who single handedly won them probably over 10 games themselves last year...

I am on Mizzou... GL!

What about Vandy -6 1/2? Do you think they will cover that?

looking good so far, 3-1 so far but damn that Seton Hall game hurt!! I really wanted to pull the trigger on the Seton Hall ML or at least the ****ing spread. Still have Oklahoma State -7 and their up 26 at the half. Still have the Wolverines later

I agree, La Salle isn't too great. I'm not too far away from Middle Tenn. State and I don't think they're anything special really. I can't believe Tennessee is only -10 against Middle Tennessee State though. UC Santa Barbara lost to Utah State in their last game, they're only getting 17 points from NORTH CAROLINA? Maybe a feeling that UNC doesn't have enough firepower left to blow them out?

Yeah Im playing UConn and Tennesee big tomorow. UNC will be a normal play. I also like Miami FL -6 tomorow also. They are athletic and have some talent
