It's tourney time and the games are a little harder to capp. Anything can happen and usually does this time of year. I still capp like always and hope to get lucky. Anyway, 36-18-1 overall and 15-3 w/Best Bets last 16 days.
PEPPERDINE +4.5(Best Bet)
WESTERN MICHIGAN -10
WESTERN KENTUCKY -6.5
Pepperdine-The question I ask myself is which team would the WCC officals pull for and want to win. It's got to be Pepperdine because they want two teams from their conference in the Big Dance. Gonzaga is in probably a no. 2 or 3 seed. Teams split their two meetings this year and I look for a close one tonight. Not saying the fix is on but I'll take the points here as this one should be decided by a bucket or less.
Western Michigan-Zips not very good on defense giving up just under 75ppg this season. No "D" and a bad shooting night could spell trouble for Akron as they are only 3-10 away this year. W. Michigan won the only meeting between these two 94-89 @ Akron back on 2/11/02 and they are a respectable 11-4 at home. I see W. Michigan winning this one easily. W. Michigan 92 Akron 74.
Western Kentucky-Is there a hotter team than W. Kentucky right now? Winners of 16 in a row and 22 of their last 23 games the Hilltoppers can flat play. In their only metting this year W. Kentucky beat NMST 83-67 and even though NMST has the no. 21 ranking I think W. Kentucky is the best team in the Sun Belt. NMST lost 3 of their last 5 games to end the season and although not offically a road game were just 5-6 away. W. Kentucky had a very impressive 10-3 road record and I think that they cover here tonight. Western Kentucky 81 New Mexico State 68.
