Well, you know the golden rule about never compounding bets??? I'm about to break it for one of the few times on this occasion:
Xavier laying 5.5 second half for a slightly larger bet than the original.
Reasons are obvious in my mind. . . Stanford can't possibly play any better IMO. . . they are looking great and I see them giving Arizona fits when they play on this floor down the road in the Pac 10, but I can't see them playing lights out for the entire second half. Xavier will make this game exciting. . . the key will be rebounding for Xavier the 2nd half as they need to do a much better job of it. I think they will.
