College Hoops Thursday

Not much going on tonight. Just two from the amateur ranks:

South Alabama -4 +108, 1 unit to win 1.08 units

Another rare favorite. Both teams have played Louisville this season already - Western Kentucky won and USA got blown out, so WKU must be a lot better. Nope. Home court and the advantage in the frontcourt for USA is worth giving a few points.

Northern Colorado +6.5 -104, 1.04 units to win 1 unit

With an 11 PM Eastern tipoff, I'll be asleep before this one even gets started. Fresno State is the most popular favorite on the board, but maybe people are thinking about the football team, because I just don't see it.

P.S. Before playing Florida International, make sure you look at their injury report. That line looks like a gift until you see all the players who are out.

Nobody has to believe this, but I struggled long and hard (that's what SHE said) about playing Northridge -14, and they won by 35 points. Very difficult to take a double-digit favorite the way that I look at games, but this one was a painful pass. Oh, by the way, I've been drinking a little bit...back friday afternoon....
