Thursday Hoops

Yale +2 -110, 2 units
Yale has more depth, plays better defense, and has played a much tougher schedule. Peacocks have no quality big men so I'll take the points.

Miami OH -8.5 -110, 2 units
Redhawks have had some tough games of late but I think they have an easier time here. Wright St. is not nearly as good defensively and 4 of their top 6 players are freshman so I think they will have difficulty scoring in the halfcourt against this defense as most of their players are perimeter players. I like Miami OH to get a 10-12 point win at home.

X,

I'm with you on Miami -- seems to be a lot of Wright st. backers out there, which is FINE with me.

Oklahoma -6.5 -110, 2 units
Purdue has played well but this is this their 1st true road game. The Duke win was good but Duke was playing their 3rd game in 3 days and looked a little sluggish due to their lack of depth. I think the Sooners' frontcourt is much stronger and I think OU will be able to force Purdue to the perimeter. Like the Sooners to win by around 10 at home.
