UCSB +1.5
Fading Nevada after a huge OT win vs. St. Mary’s. Teams got talent no doubt, but so does UCSB, particularly in the guard spot with vets Mahaney & Vartiainen. I think they get Nevada at the right time and pull away late
Michigan -3.5
Just a really bad line imo. I get some of the Marquette hype, but there’s levels to this. Way too much talent on Michigans side + home court + bounce back spot + McKenney getting going in 2H of UConn game + size + guard play. Michigan big here
Charleston -1.5
This is a talented COFC team led by SC transfer Eli Ellis. They’ve played 2 D2 opponents, so not buying into those lopsided results, more so the talent this team possesses. Temple on other hand - 68 PPG (297th), 45.8% FG (180th), 60% FT (331st), 26.7% 3pt (313th)

UNC -20.5
Buying the dip here after a stinker of a first game, discounted line imo. UNC lost the turnover and offensive rebound battle against WESTERN CAROLINA at home. If that doesn’t get Malone fired up for the next one…
Daniel Jacobson o13.5 pts
Breakout season is here. If you’re Matt Painter there are not many signs of anyone else being able to score the ball at this point as well. This should be a lob fest to your 7”4 big vs a smaller mid major. Tight enough line should allow the proper mins

Boston College -5.5
Buying Luke Murray stock in his first rivalry game as BC HC. Think he’s put together a talented team headlined by Money Williams, and you can already see much of the UConn offensive influence in their first game. Higher on BC than the books to start the year
Queens College +18.5
I’m in on Queens. These dudes can hoop. And play hard. I like them keeping this under 20 vs a very talented Ok St. team, but also one who saw 11(!) guys play over 12mins last game. Rotation in flux early, focus may be ahead late in this one
Iowa St -30.5
See UNC -20.5… give me the uber-talented after a bad performance. Otzelberger is a maniac and should have these guys charged up. Debated USM TT under here but too big a blowout and deep bench scares me. Cyclones HUGE
