Line is now 29.5. Personally leaning towards Richmond with their halfcourt style of play. I thought the spread would be closer to 24-25 range.

Unless they change what they did yesterday they didn't really run the halfcourt style that much, they had plently of trips where they were shooting only 10 sec into the shot clock, and since they can't rebound it was one and done most of the time.

I didn't watch the Richmond game, but assumed they didn't score much because it was a slow down, grind it out, type of game. I have looked at the box score and noticed Richmond was outrebounded 39-18:com: Does Memphis outrebound the Spiders 48-9?:shrug:

I guess Memphis 80-45 sounds possible, but laying 29.5 points is difficult this early in the season.

No they didn't score much because they didn't make any baskets, but it wasn't because they slowed the tempo down. Maine probably slowed the tempo down more than anything it seemed like they were shooting with single digits left on the shot clock more than Richmond. I can't recall, but I bet Richmond didn't run the shot clock down past 10 but a couple of times.

29.5 is a lot of points and I am not going to lay it, might take Memphis in the first half, but that might be it.
