At first glace, I really like the dogs to bark often Friday night:
Columbia taking 3 over Yale. . . tempo will play a large role in this game as Yale is used to taking over sixty shots a game while Columbia plays a Princeton like game and shoots under fifty. I feel the slow tempo will prevent Yale from going on any large spurts in this game. Three points should be huge.
St Mary's taking 5.5 (hopefully more by tomorrow) over Pepperdine. . . I expect this line to climb as the public should be on Pepperdine. Kind of strange for a team that shoots the ball sixty six times a game, they only average thirty one rebounds. Pepperdine will have to shoot extremely well on the road in order to cover this line. This will be a HUGE game for St Mary's at home. I may even bite on the ML if there's enough value.
Loyola +7.5 over San Fran. . . another fishy line that looks like an easy pick on the home team. Still, Loyola is the better shooting team statistically and they're getting some nice points over a team that is struggling.
I honestly expect two of these three dogs to win their games straight up. Unless I uncover information to the contrarty tomorrow, I will certainly be on all three. Hopefully a few more to come in the morning or afternoon.
