Tonights basketball AND UPDATE

Another losing week in the nfl by one game, but I have confidence that our winning weeks will be much more substantial of a gain then the losses we have sustained here.


LOUISVILLE -11 V LONG BEACH ST
---
LBSU is a very solid team, but tonight they play a complete mismatch and vegas is making no bones about the talent and coaching discrepancy. The problem, for Long Beach, is that they play the same type of game that Louisville does. They have a guard based offense with athletic big men and a good press. Problem being that tonight their best player, ware, will be guarded by a three man rotation at pg headed by team star SIVA. This line is what it is for a reason, it will be a 9 or ten point game for a while and fouls will put this over the margin.

Vanderbilt -4 V Xavier

-----

Not only is it odd that the lessor ranked team is favored by two buckets, its completely bonkers that the line went up a half a point on some books. This should be a close game, but any basketball player knows that even the closest games end up at 5-7 point margins because of fouls. To me, I think vandy wins here. They are the much more tested team, they have played decent competition so far in Oregon St, Cleveland St, and NC St. Bucknell is not terrible either, certainly should have beat them by more, but this team has played its share of early competition and Xavier has only played 2 games that were even available to be wagered on. Xavier is very talented, but they will lose to Vandy tonight on the road.
