Going to jump on a few games early as I like the following:

Rhode Island +3 for 3* - Small play as the Rams are playing their 5th game in 7 days and could be tired. I would play this game a little bigger if the Rams were rested and more prepared. However, Boston College doesn't have much after Tyrese Rice. The Eagles have also struggled with Florida Atlantic and New Hampshire this season as they were losing to both teams at halftime. I know Rice didn't play vs. New Hampshire, but your scrubs should destroy New Hampshire. I'm hoping BC has another slow start and loses this game SU. Will Daniels will be a tough matchup for the Eagles as well.

Texas A&M -4 for 6.5* - I watched Washington struggle to win against Utah and don't think they're ready to play well in prime time. The Huskies are traveling 3 time zones across the country which is normally tough on young kids. Brockman is a beast and could keep the Huskies in this game by himself, but after him, Dentmon is okay and knowone else has looked good. Huskies should have lost to Utah, but Brockman carried them. Aggies have a solid frontcourt with Jordan and Jones and they should make life miserable for Brockman. Carter is a solid outside shooter for Texas A&M and Turgeon is a much better coach than Romar IMO. Aggies win by more than 5 points if they play well defensively. Washington doesn't guard people and should get exploited by a well coached team.

Syracuse -1.5 for 6.5* - I know the Orangemen are young and they don't always play well @ MSG. However, Ohio State is still raw as well. Butler is a proven veteran @ guard for the Buckeyes. However, this will be a road game for Ohio State IMO as the crowd will be very pro-Orange. I believe the Buckeyes will lose by more than a couple points. Koufas has dominated weak competition, but he should have problems with the Orangmen's zone defense and I really like Syracuse's starting five as Green might be one and done to the NBA. Paul Harris is averaging almost 12 rebounds per game as a guard. Johnny Flynn is a stud PG and he allows Devendorf to be the shooting guard.

Will add more plays tomorrow.

Thanks big papi and rubiconed.

Adding the following:
Arizona State +1 for 8* - Sun Devils are a talented, but young group of players. LSU is struggling with injuries and I believe ASU has far more talent in this matchup. Talent doesn't always win when you're talking about young kids, but LSU struggled to win against Chaminade and they have only played 7 guys. LSU hasn't impressed me this season as they barely beat McSneeze State 78-74, SE Louisiana, and Chaminade. I'm surprised Arizona State isn't the favorite although they're playing their 3rd game in less than 40 hours.

Sill reviewing Illinois & Oklahoma State... going to wait on the line movement, but leaning towards the Pokes right now. Illini guards didn't look good last night and Illini are playing their 4th game in 5 days:scared They looked very tired last night and I expect them to have trouble extending any victory margin against Oklahoma State.

Upgraded Arizona State +1 to 8*.

Oklahoma State +6 (-120) for 6.5* - I'm done looking at this game. Oklahoma State has played three conecutive crappy halves of basketball... who in their right mind would bet these guys:shrug: I thought Illinois looked very tired last night and their guards & wing players are really nothing special. I believe Oklahoma State at least matches Illini in the backcourt and also believe Illini will have problems extending the margin of victory.

Leaning towards Marquette +5 tonight, but I haven't pulled the trigger.

Good luck w/ your plays....leaning to A/m and the Cuse myself.....as far as Marq vs Duke.....i recall winning on Marq last year vs Duke with a similar line.....while I think Coach K will have his boys whipped up for some revenge action, i think this game should be a pick 'em......getting five points seems like a gift to me.

Good luck!!!!

Rough start going 1-2 -3.1*... Rhode Island loss was a real bite in the ass as they were covering most of the game. Oklahoma State was a bad call as they really do suck.

Don't have time for detailed write ups, but playing the following tonight.

Toledo +11 for 2* - Small play, but don't feel Dayton should be laying double digits in this contest.

Marquette +5 for 6.5* - A solid play as this game should be closer to 2 or 3 point spread IMO. I know Duke has looked good, but Marquette is a tough club as well and should give the Blue Devils some problems.

Chaminade -2 for 5* - Princeton has looked AWFUL in the 1st half vs. Duke and AWFUL in the 2nd half vs. Arizona State. I'm hoping they have another bad half tonight that costs them.

Northern Arizona +27.5 for 6.5* - NAU only lost to Arizona by 7 points. I think they'll keep the margin of victory to around 20 for Kansas. Collins is out and Rush is far from 100% right now.

Michigan +7 for 5* - Don't really like this game, but it's the late TV game. Line also seems inflated due to Michigan's horrid game @ G'Town recently.

Also, I decided to blindly tail Billy Blastoff and played the following:

G'Town -21.5 for 2.5*

New Mexico -12.5 for 2.5*

Pepperdine -8 for 2.5*

Hopefully he goes 2-1 or better tonight.
