I have already laid off pretty big on E Mich, Liking marshall a bit as well, I really do not see value in any of the chalks.

G, if you still have my email drop me a line.

I grabbed EMU at +11 on one of my sites. Boone is fighting for his job and they played hard at Toledo. They are talented enough to do some damage in the tourney since WMU has stopped guarding people. I'm going to look hard at the under in this one, too. EMU has really slowed the game down lately and tried to pound the ball inside. We may get a high total based on the double OT game against the Rockets.

always like it when you, spang, and i concur on a mac game. emich is definitely a play for me. leaning to marshall to but going nowhere near kent/cmich or bg/ball. no matter what the total, i could never play emich under. they foul like motherfu.ckers and even if the pace is slowed, both teams will probably well into the bonus each half. too much stress, lol.

I agree with your take on the total, both EMU and Akron have been very profitable under the number for about a month now. G is correct though, this game may well be seeing some clock extension due to late fouling. CMU's Jay Smith wrote the book on this so I'll probably avoid looking at the under in the Kent game.

Marshall,Central and Eastern have taken an initial hit. was hoping to get some totals before I leave for work, but it ain't happening. I expect them to hang something close to 142 on the Akron game and if so the under becomes a moderate play as well

 

[DIRTY Diapers]

I like E. Michigan getting the points. I consider myself to be a MAC expert... I graduated from Ball St.

E. Michigan has just as much talent as anyone in the MAC. I'll take the pts.

 

[Rcxslam]

is it still a play at 9.5 guys? and E Mich have a shot to win the game outright? or just cover...thanx...

 

[DIRTY Diapers]

I dont think they will win it outright... But I will take the points.
