until we are back up, I'll put them in here. May have another one later. Good to start on the right track. I am very selective this time of year.. Need to observe. pounding this one as I almost choked when I saw the line.
Drake +1.5, -110; 5 units
REMINDER--this is a 1:15 EST tip
Very close to TU play..
Josh Young looked great early vs ISU but they sufficated him with Double teams after he went off early. He looks healthy and moved well. As you guys know I have Iowa State rated much higher than most so the big loss by Drake did not diminish my view of this team, which is very young, but talented and will improve all year long
stole most of this info on GS from a blog but pretty close to what I see:
Let me give you guys a little info on this GSU squad. Basically what you have is a bunch of rejects that couldn't hack it in SEC, ACC and Big East, so they transferred to what was once the losing-est program in NCAA history up until recently. The whole team has maybe one or two Division 1 players, everyone else belongs at the D2 level, at best. I am not even kidding about this. GSU barely escaped a terrible NAIA team in their exhibition, wining by only four points, and they got lucky time ran out. They hung with a young and inexperienced ACC team that is predicted to finish last in the ACC for about 3/4 of the game, until NC State finally shook off the rust and blew them out. Then GSU played Carver Bible College, a D3 team that has been getting blown out by other D2 teams with a 40+ point margin on average. GSU managed to beat them by 24, and it was ugly to say the least.
The highlight of the team is this kid Xavier Hansbro, who is quite possibly the softest 6'10" center ever to play a college basketball game. The guy suffers from a delusional impression that he can shoot the ball, so for vast majority of the game he will lay bricks from the three point land. It's a riot to watch, especially when he tries to get to the paint and starts air-balling hook shots.
The only glimmer of hope on this team is a 6'1" point guard named Joe Dukes, who transferred from Wake Forrest. He pretty much lead the team in every statistical category last year, but he has been completely off this year and is prone to turn the ball over if the opposing team even plays a remote semblance of any kind of defense.
To really understand how bad this team is, their best player right now is 6'5" 175-pound walk-on that plays the power forward position.
