Pitt -5 over Troy **
Although Pitt had a bad season think they can beat Troy.Frame had a big game..Ellison from the Johnnies start s for them.Johnson is a solid gd with 16 assists already.. Troy lost Person who did everything for them.Varnardo is back and he is tough...think Panthers overall are the better team..Pitt front line once conf starts could be in trouble..
SIU +3 over Buffalo **
Hate going against my favorite team with CJ,Perkins,Harris and co...but SIU has a good team..they have good gds and 6'10 Pippin inside...they lost to Kentucky 71-59 but led the 1st 30 minutes..they caused 19 turn overs..think Bulls after upsetting West Vir in OT could be a little over confident...think Buffalo will lose only 3 or 4 games all year..and think tonite could be one..
OU -6.5 over UTSA ****
Roadrunners lost to Div 3 St Edwards from Austin by 1 pt..I like a few players on the UTSA team..Wallace,Allen and Frohem...loved watching them last yr vs North Texas...but there superstar-head case-instant O man Jivan is out until Dec...big loss...OU has some big gd the size of the UTSA fds..James is 6'4 and the Black bear pt gd Calixte who is 5'10 and will make some people forget who Young was..{ maybe for about 10 minutes"] but this kid can play..B-12 fans are going to have fun watching this waterbug on the court...and he will do the same thing in the B-12 as he did in the American East ..OU has 6'9 and 6'10 Manek and McNeace...no way the Roadrunners can win in the paint..OU wins by 10-12 pts..
St Joes 14 over Monmouth *
small play...Hawks are 0-2 losing to Colgate and by 15 to Lehigh..hate giving up that many pts to Joe but they have 2 red shirts back that were all tookie A-10 2 yrs ago in Brown and Oliva..both are back and had big games already...
Texas-IL Monroe pass
Texas has the talent to win this by 30..but the basketball IQ and shooting % and this will be a close game..Texas beat a depleted Arkansas team in OT the other nite..Roach hit a 3 to send it to overtime..Hogs had 5-6 gds that never played a D-1 game..and almost won..pass tonite..was going to the game but my Giants are on Monday nite.. what a game with the 49ers...
yest
2-2 -1*
overall 18-10 +10's
OU best bet
