record 2-4

Drake +2
Iowa doesn't have as much size or depth as in the past after losing Recker and Evans. Drake improved a lot in the second half of last season and has a lot of experience coming back with 7 of their 8 top scorers back including a terrific shooter in McDonald who avg. 18 ppg last season. Think Drake gets the win at home.

Creighton +3.5
Notre Dame is only about 6 deep and 3 of their guards played 37 minutes or more yesterday. Creighton had an easy game yesterday with no one playing over 21 minutes. Creighton has good depth and great shooters all over the floor and is 38-69 in 3 pt FGs through 3 games. Think Creighton wins this game.

Virginia +7.5
I'm not sold on Kentucky after beating a poor ASU team. Kentucky doesn't have an experienced PG w/o Hawkins and Virginia's pressure could give them problems. Cavs have a little more depth inside as well with Brown, Watson, Clark, and the Cal transfer Vander Laan and they could be a problem for the Cats' lean C's. I expect a close game here so will take the points.
