First off I must say last year was one of my best posting at MJs for Men's Hoops, and typically I do above water. With that said, studying for what's coming back, all the transfer portal bullshit happening and the number of new Head Coaches and with all that's happened with conference flips by many schools, tread lightly the first month of the season as I do, please!!!????
Monday 11/6
Missouri St +3 1/2 - WV Eilert makes his debut as the head man at Wells Vodka University, WV has no returnees, Mitchell transfered and a couple of players have to sit for illness and one for eligibility, so this is gonna be a rude home game for WV as the Bears return 3 starters and they were +2 in margin last year, whereas WV was only +5 margin last year.
Evansville +3 1/2 - one of the best wins Aces had LY was vs M-OH, both return 4 starters, M-Oh had a -1 margin last year and Aces were -14 margin with a 5-27 record, they have to do better in the Hoosier state at home here.
Over 138 1/2 Ark St/Wisky - Wisky was 12-2-1 in non-conf games over the total LY, Ark St has 3 starters back and Wisky has to do better with the 5 starters they have back averaging 65 ppg, the same as Ark St averaged
New Mex St +16 1/2 - Wildcats with a new starting roster but have a decent shooter in Brooks, Aggies another truckload of transfers in again and not bad coaching
Bradley +4 1/2 - UAB with no starters returning, Bradley has 4 in a decent conference that gets basically no love in the Mo Valley, Bradley with +8 margin last year vs Blazers at +10, low line? Hmmm. Early season!!
W-Green Bay +28 1/2 - Can't back the Clones with 1 returning starter, Phoenix were 3-29 last year, this should be a blow out, but the smart money went on GB at +28 1/2 down 1 full pt then back up to current line, Dog or bust for me
MQ -23 1/2 - love Shaka Smart and his returnees this year that averaged 79 ppg last year, now face Huskies who have 3 starters returning but it's tough to play at MQ, edge to home court here
JMU +16 1/2 - Sparty getting some media love in the early polls, Sparty has 4 starters, they play team ball, JM averaged 80 ppg last year and have 2 of those starters back, should be a decent game until the last half at E Lansing, so home court is an edge however, JM had a +12 ppg margin last year, so this could be closer
Over 140 1/2 LT/CSU - LT averaged 72 ppg last year CSU gave up 71 ppg and scored 72 ppg, evenly matched on paper, CSU was 12-2-1 in Overs last year in Home tilts with 83-71 ave PF/PA results.
Beach -2 1/2 - Beach has been up/down program for a few years, have a new sharp shooter to help on treys, however, they are only 2-0 ATS vs Portand, but Portland is 2-0 SU in those tilts and this time Portland is the doggy, I just see Long Beach with better new comers, Beach has 5 returners with brothers who have a lil game in the paint. Beach or bust here!!
