Riviman- Collison is expected to play. I hear what you are saying about Houston having to play on 'short notice'..but I think they will be ok..certainly have more incentive playing Kansas, than Kansas will have playing them...Jayhawks were out there to try and beat UCLA and Duke, not lose to Ball St in the first round..I'm just banking on them not responding well after yesterday's loss. And the players didn't look to be in good shape...bunch of guys had cramps, played an extremely fast-paced game..not sure about their legs today.
Pacerfan- Iowa/Memphis should be a great game to watch. Betting-wise, I think its a pass. Memphis has a ton of talent, but might be smart to see how they play against a top caliber team such as Iowa before getting behind them with your wallet. As you stated, Iowa certainly has the experience factor in big games such as this..that might be the difference. Missouri line is down to 4..I think they are worth a play at that line, maybe get lucky and it moves down a tad more..Bama has talent but not the same team outside of their own gym..Mizzou certainly grades as the superior all-around squad. I like SMU tonight..T-Tech had a nice start to the season, but line skewed a bit with the Knight hype and them winning two games at home over William & Mary and SDSU, who were without a couple key players. Hancock and Ross are a nice duo for SMU..only laying a few at home..I think they are a solid play. Good luck tonight.
Cabo- With my current record, not sure if I would say I 'know' my hoops right now..I'll gladly switch places with you at this point..keep up the good work.
