Iowa +5 -110, 3 units
Still think Tech is a little overrated as they really haven't beaten a real quality team yet. Think Iowa is the more balanced team and is much stronger in the frontcourt. Texas Tech hasn't found a consistent 2nd scorer behind Emmett and I could see the Hawkeyes getting the win on a neutral court so taking the points.
Samford +20 -110, 2 units
Samford runs a Princeton style of offense and I think they are the type of team that gives an undisciplined team like Memphis trouble. Samford executes pretty well on offense shooting 47% from the field. I think Memphis takes too many bad shots and shoots FTs too poorly to cover 20 against a team like this. Memphis has Mizzou up next so think they will overlook the Bulldogs.
Arizona -15.5 -110, 2 units
Wildcats seem to play to the level of their competition and after almost losing at home to St. Mary's I think the Cats will put a full game together here. SDSU has been pretty good but I think they will have trouble scoring against the Arizona defense as SDSU is not real strong inside and Arizona matches up well with them on the perimeter as I think Stokes and Heath will have trouble getting open looks. I know it seems like a lot of points against a quality team but think the Cats get a 20 point win here.
Florida St. +8 -110, 2 units
Pitt has played a very easy schedule thus far and I think FSU could possibly get the win on the road. Like FSU's depth this year and given Pitt's poor 62% FT shooting and FSU's 40% 3 pt shooting I think this game will come down to the wire so taking the dog.
Tenn. Tech +14 -110, 2 units
Vols have played a lot of cupcakes leading to a lot of blowout wins thus far so think this line is a little inflated. Tenn. Tech is a decent team that is capable of putting up a lot of points as they shoot 50% from the field and 39% in 3's. Last time they played in Knoxville they lost by just 9 and I look for a similar result in this meeting.
