Weber State at Northern Arizona

[superbook]

I'm searching and searching for a play but I can't find one.

This is a must-win game for NAU; they've just lost to the two worst teams in the league, even losing to Sac State in the Skydome.

After a 9-3 start, NAU is now 9-7 and 0-3 in conference play.

Weber State is the #2 team in the Big Sky behind Eastern Washington.

Lumberjacks started 0-3 in league play the last couple of years and rebounded, last year winning 6 of next 7 and qualifying for the Big Sky tourney.

WSU has lost their two previous meetings at the Skydome; Flagstaff is a tough place to play due to the altitude.

If history repeats itself, NAU if the play but...

NAU only has 9 healthy players going into tonite's game, and starting pg Kyle Feuerbach is suffering from back spasms and he missed practice Monday. Their best defensive player Kody Yazzie sprained his ankle at EWU and he probably won't play.

NAU only has one senior, Ryan McDade who leads the team in scoring and rebounding.

The rest of the team is very young, their best perimeter shooter is a freshman and starting forward Bond is a juco transfer.

Weber State is much deeper and I'd lean to them to cover the 3.5 but I'm going to PASS.

Now that is a TOUGH game... Passing is definetly the way to go!

Any thoughts on Kent/Akron or Butler/Wisc-Milw? Strange line movement in both matchups..

Storming -- I'd have to defer to Hellah in terms of any thoughts re: MAC games.

Seems like there just aren't any easy games on the board today.

I'm not going to play a game where the line is -2 and my numbers have it at -4; I need to get a ten point advantage to justify a play.

Still searching, but probably going to pass tonite or throw a couple bucks on Fairfield just to get some action.

great pick last night superbook.....

no time for cbb for me on a full scale this year...just gotta try to keep up with Big12......

might start riding some of your plays though....looks like you are hot....

Dr -- thanks for the props. What I'm trying to do this season is be more selective about my plays which hopefully will mean a greater percentage of winners.

As you know, it's frustrating to spend 2 hours researching a play just to pass and sometimes I tend to force a play just to justify my time or to get a little action.

So on a day like today when I can't find one, I'll just bide my time until the Hofstra-Drexel line comes out.

may have found a good one... what about Oregon St. -12 vs Washington St? line has dropped a point and a half.
WSU lost their top scorer and rebounder Marcus Moorer. he is second in the pac 10 in scoring. he had surgery earlier this week.
last year in Corvallis they lost 91-55.
