record 33-38

Providence -4.5, 1 unit
Tough spot for the Spiders playing a 3 in 4 and coming off a trip from California with only 1 day of rest and a big win over Stanford. Friars shoot the ball well at home shooting 46% FGs, 40% 3's, and 79% FTs and scoring 79 ppg. Like the Friars to win by around 10 at home.

Ole Miss +3, 3 units
Rebels play relentless defense under Barnes and allowing just 37% shooting and 57 ppg on the year. Memphis is a young team that plays undisciplined and forces a lot of bad shots. Also think they will have trouble against the Rebels' half court motion offense as they will need to defend for 25-30 seconds on every possession. Ole Miss has won the last 3 meetings and Memphis really struggled in Oxford last year and relied on Wagner to get his own shots when their offense wasn't working. Don't think they have anyone that can do it like him this year. As long as Ole Miss shoots a decent percentage they should get the win here. Will be at the game pulling for a Rebel win and cover.

CS-Northridge -8 still like up to 10, 2 units
CSN can really put up some points scoring 78 ppg and shooting 50% overall and scoring 96.5 ppg and shooting 57% in 2 games at home. Loyola only scoring 67 ppg and and shooting 40% on the road thus far. LM also getting outrebounded by 5 per game while CSN is outrebounding opponents by 5 per game. CSN beat a decent San Diego team on the road and also hung with Oregon in Eugene losing by only 9. Think the Matadors get an easy win at home.

no problem Reb

George Mason +10, 2 units
Mainly an anti-public play. Think the public is overreacting to Young's injury as I'm sure Vegas already factored that into the line. GM will slow the tempo and keep it a low scoring game. GM has won the last 5 meetings SU and I think they can keep this one under the number.
