Late Afternoon Hoops

Northwestern really shit the crisper in the second half didn't they? Two more college basketball picks for the afternoon, then away from the computer for a while:

Bowling Green +6 -102, 1.02 units to win 1 unit

70% on Duquesne, but BG is the better team. With the line retreating a little bit, I think somebody out there agrees with me.

Middle Tennessee State -1.5 -110 (WSEX), 1.1 units to win 1 unit

I can't believe North Texas opened as the favorite. MTS is the MUCH better team here. Consensus numbers not as big on North Texas as Duquesne, but a 2.5-point line move (so far, it may end up moving even more) still makes this a pick.

Back in a couple hours.

I also played BG w/o even knowing it was one of your plays - I live in Pgh and have a pretty good handle on Pitt and Duquesne..Keep this in mind - Louis Orr must be an idiot - the entire game article in the Pgh Post Gazette was about the fact that BG built a 39-31 lead with 17 minutes left in the game and Orr switched to man-to-man for the remainder and Duq sliced it up...There are quotes from the players saying that the zone confused them - they couldnt get into a rhythm - and still dont understand why the zone was stopped.....I realize sometimes that coaches over-coach but this move just reeks of stupidity...Not sure I can BG anymore knowing what an idiot their head coach is....Charlie Coles and the other MAC coaches will eat him for lunch.
