Troy +9 over Texas St ****
Think Bobcats are in for a fight at home tonite . Troy has won 4 in a row and Texas is coming off a Houston blow out but did play Paul Quinn and won by +35. Those non league conf games don't help. Think they give you a false sense esp on offensive when everyone can score. Tex plays great defense and puts pressure on the ball . They like to kick out to Harrell their 5'8 pt gd to start transition. They have a solid half court offense and and work the ball to the open man. They have no inside players. Small at 6'8 170 doesn't hit the bds and loves the outside and shoots 3's . Ceaser and Martin are 6'8 and have no inside scoring except some put backs. Troy has UTEP transfer Odigie at 6'9 240. He presents a low post problem for the Bobcats tonite . He avg 10 pts and game and tonight should dominate on the paint. they also have Duke Deen at 5'10 who can score and pass. Zay williams is another 6'6 fd who is their best player and can be explosive. The other Williams is there best 3 pt shooter. Waters is the 6'5 gd who last yr led the Sun Conf in FT% and Stamply at 6'5 does everything. Rebound,score play defense and can play all 5 positions. They are not a good shooting 3 pt team or FT % team but do play some solid defense . They also have Eugene juco transfer Last year they ranked in the 300's in many off/ categories but with the addition of Odigie and some juco and transfers think they could win this outright. Cross the coach who was at UTA is terrible I hare backing him because when was at UTA he had some much talent and wasted it. Think Troy has a good chance of winning here in San Marcus tonight. I will be there sitting right behind Coach Cross giving him some adjustments to make in case we are behind.

Denver is the worst team I have seen in years. Abmas should have a field day

La Salle-Fordham pass Rams have that kid Chuba . The name alone scares me Although I lean towards La salle if I have a kid named Chuba on my team
I am going to war with Chuba but will pass.

Troy ML +335 ***
Good news is if Troy doesn't win or cover I can why explain why being I'm courtside

Wow what a game and what a night . During the warmups watch the visiting team and their warm up drills . Never noticed that Harrell Bobcats pt gd wasn't warming up on the other end.. Didn't pay attention to the Tx St starting line up show with lights out and hi-lites of the starting 5 dunking and shooting with there pictures of arms across their body's flexing in still shots. Hate the pre-game video on the big screen. Anyway never pay attention . So there is tne the jump ball and the game starts. Troy is in a full court pressure defense and Tx St is having problems Just get the ball to Harrell because he can dribble through any pressure or trap. Bobcats struggling just to get the ball over mid court. Then I realized Harrell isn't on the floor . I guess he is being benched. But then I look over to the Bobcats bench and see he isn't even on the bench. I am sitting with the Troy parents behind their bench so they don't know anything. I see someone from Tx St and they say Adams and Harrell are out with covid tonite .Not even in the gym. And Cross the coach of Troy who I dislike is ran their half court offense. pressing full court because Harrell is there only true point gd.
Tx st could never recover and never went down the floor and set their half court game. Troy led throughout and I realize my moneyline play at +335 looks pretty good. Then I did a halftime wager with Troy leading 33-24 and it was troy +6 . Was thinking something could be wrong because it was to good to be true. So Troy's big man Odigie dominated inside with 20 points and Tx St had no post defense at all Troy has such quick gds and thought this team could make some noise in the Sun Conf. Odigie impressed me with his inside game but what a passer. See's the floor well . you don;t get many nights like last night winning the +9 ,then the moneyline and then the halftime line.
When I got home last night my wife asked me how was the game. I answered a lot of traffic and the game was a good game and had a big smile. Going back Saturday afternoon to see So Alabama play. Think Harrell is still out with covid
