No tunes today. We're listening to the Reds on Radio. Pre-season game against Houston. Down three in the eighth. Not looking good. But the lines I was hoping for are...
Butler (-10.0) vs. Cleveland State (Hinkle Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, IN)
That's the spread we were looking for kids! The Vikings beat the Bulldogs by four at home, and lost by five on the road. Cleveland State is playing for it's NCAA Tourney lives; Butler will play comfortably numb due to it's apparent lock status. The ESPN boys are focusing on rebound differential, which I believe is notable, but doesn't tell the whole story.
Short, abbreviated sentences, now there's the ticket.
This should be close game. Butler lost last year in this same situation against a "who the hell would have thunk it" Wright State squad. I'll give them the benefit of the talent bump, but not by ten.
Western Kentucky (-8.5) vs. Middle Tennessee State (Mitchell Center, Mobile, AL)
The scary thing: the best match-up info I found was from Eyewitness News 3 out of Connecticut (?). The Blue Raiders may pull a San Diego State style upset after knocking off Southern Alabam', but the regular season numbers are not amicable. MTS did beat Southern Alabama twice in the regular season, and finished them off with the tourney upset. However they lost to WKU in both meeting, by 5 at home and 11 on the road. The Gut is telling me the Hilltoppers do not fock around, and close this thing out by halftime. WKU by 18.
We'll talk to ya tomorrow-A.B.
