very big play -- kansas jayhawks under 139.5
of all the totals ive played this year (11-4), this is the biggest one to date. odom will not let this game turn into a track meet. if usc needs to walk the ball up the floor, i think they will. south carolina has been a great under team for me the last year or so. counting on this to be another time.
tennessee volunteers (+6)
vols had an impressive opening game of the season vs stanford (although that win doesnt look so great now) and since then theyve been garbage. im undeterred, as i think theyre a lot better than theyve shown. plus, theyre back in the dog role, which has always suited them better. at the very worst, theyre a pretty decent fundamental team (high ft%, high 3pt%, low turnovers).
gonzaga bulldogs (+6)
no earth shattering logic here. just think this game is a coin flip and zags are far more efficient at the line than the jackets (77% vs. 61%). anytime theres a 10+% differential in free throw shooting, its almost an obligatory play. dont think tech should be laying this many on a neutral court, especially one out west. that illinois debacle really woke gonzaga up. with knight back, this team is gonna be tough to beat.
east tennessee state bucs (+13)
etsu has been a huge disappointment this year, but feel this is an overlay. contrasting styles, as odu is more of a halfcourt team and etsu is run and gun. no doubt odu is a solid group, but i dont think theyre gonna be able to score enough to keep etsu from covering. sure wouldnt hurt if tim smith would get his head out of his ass this year. 35% from the floor along with 3.6 assists/ 3.1 turnovers pretty much explains why etsu is 3-5. but this team still has loads of talent and i guess im a sucker for thinking this line is way too jacked.
southern california trojans over 143.5
brief writeup below.
forgot to post the actual # i got on kansas. got a 139.5. saw 141 in some places now, so better #s available.
