Nevada -1, 1 unit
Think Nevada has a little too much depth and size for Hawaii. Hawaii hasn't beaten a good team yet losing to Dayton and Fresno. They were outrebounded 36-14 by Fresno and 47-35 against Fairfield while Nevada has outrebounded just about every opponent this season including Kansas. Hawaii's best scorer Kuebler is struggling going just 10-36 his L2 games so hoping he'll stay cold. Don't like going against Hawaii on the island but think Nevada is the much better team here.

San Jose +5, 1 unit
Think this is a good spot to go against Fresno coming off a game in Hawaii with just 1 day rest. San Jose has played pretty good defense allowing opponents to shoot just 38.5% and 64 ppg so think there is a chance they get the win at home.

Montana St. +3, 1 unit
CSU is not normally a good road team and Montana shoots very well at home shooting 55% from the field and 42% from the 3 pt line. CSU may overlook this team coming off wins against Purdue and Pepperdine so like the home dog.

Texas +2, 1 unit
Not a big fan of Texas on the road but just don't think the Friars have the size and depth in the frontcourt to stay with them especially with Sanders possibly out. Friars don't have the quickness of Duke or Zona so Texas should have a little easier time scoring than in those games.

UCSB +1, 2 units
Haven't been too impressed with any of UCI's wins and think the Gauchos have better depth. Fullove has been getting healthy after missing the first few games. UCSB coming off a bad loss at Long Beach as they went scoreless for like 8 minutes in the 2nd half. Think they will bounce back with a win here.

Colorado +4, 1 unit
Kansas isn't nearly as good as in the past this year and the Buffs upset them 60-59 last season at home. Jayhawks' lack of depth may be tested in the altitude and think Colorado has a good shot at pulling off the upset.
