Thursday NCAA Hoops: TSU @ Siena

[superbook]

YTD: 11-5

PICK: Tennessee State +9

I like Siena to bounce back after the loss to Buffalo but I think nine points is too many to ask the Saints to cover.

Tennessee State is big and should hold a strong edge on the boards; Siena's weakness this season to date has been rebounding.

I think the number is large because TSU is not a well known team; but they have a good shot to win the OVC and while they are 0-5 on the road this year, four of those losses came to some pretty good teams: Auburn, Alabama, Kansas, Western KY. And they even outrebounded three of those four. Tennessee State hasn't been a great shooting team but with a Total of 140, Vegas must think they are going to get some points tonite.


good luck.

Thanks Keith. Happy holidays to you and yours too.

I read someone say that TSU has "problems on the road"; their problem is that they scheduled four very good teams on the road...the AD has to make the money somehow.

tough loss man. Up at the half, then faded down the stretch.
