I know everyone is on Xavier -5.5 tonite.But this is a great team.They play great defense,have an air craft carrier in West and with Sato,Chalmers and co are explosive.If you double team West you pay a price with his supporting cast.There is a lot of hype on this team.But their defense can shut people down.Stanford could have trouble scoring inside and they don't have the shooters to open it up.
They are a team in transition with the loss of Casey and Borchardt.Thats almost 40 pts a game missing.
Stanfords record at home is outstanding.Lyr 11-2,12-2,13-2 and 11-2.But their ats record in those games are 5-7,4-7,6-7 and 6-6.Thats terrible.
XU lyr was 9-3 away and 7-4 ats.
XU wins this by 10 pts.

North Carolina -11 over Rutgers
Not a real play.Rutgers cannot win on the road.One of the worst teams in the country.Their record is 2-8,2-8,3-7,5-7 and 2-9 the past 5 yrs.ATS record is 3-7,6-4,3-6 and 6-9.Pretty bad.In there last 5 road games lyr they lost to Geor by 20,VT by 15,Pitt 19,ND 17,and Prov by 15.Thats pretty poor.
That is the only reason I have to go the other way in this game.NC is young and talented.Rutgers has Coleman and Lama-Lama-Ding-Dong.But Lama-Lams is sometimes in the ozone.
Rutgers has no inside attack.Wright and Axani are not scorers.They do have 6 gds that can play.But no inside attack.They already cannot play on the road.Tonite they go into one of the toughest places to play.Think history repeats itself.Nites will have problems with the super frosh of NC and the big crowd.
Not a big play because you really cannot tell how good they are by their 1st game vs.Columbia
XU-5.5 good play
NC -11 small play
