Some early thoughts on tomorrow's card, would love feedback...

North Carolina -10.5 vs. Kentucky
After what UNC did to Ohio State I think there confidence is at an all time high. Although, Kentucky may have an advantage with Robert Morris inside to help neutralize Hansborough.

Arizona State +3.5 at Minny
Monson resigning could be the fresh breathe that MInny needs to step up, but I highly doubt it. Both teams are a bit down this season, but Minny is really really bad. I'll be fading them until they can show me they can win. Especially when they're the favorite.

Indiana State +4.5 at Ball State
Both teams have quality players this year and could make a run at the post season. I'm a big fan on Indiana State, while I know a few guys I respect love Ball State this season. I'll talk to them about this game and go from there.

Wisky - Can never tell what team will come out this year. Last year I lost one game ATS with them. This season I'm 1-3 ATS so far. At 28.5, I'll stay away.

Kansas -9.5 at Depaul
Lines a bit high for me to really like Kansas right now but if it drops down into the 8.5 or 9 range I'll pull the trigger. Depaul has a sold team this year, but I think Kansas should be getting some of their young guys in a groove. Their center Butler has been reinstated and they should be good to go in this one.

Texas +2 vs Zags
Should be an awesome game. Texas is more talented but Zags have the experience. What wins out?

Southern Illinois -9 vs St. Louis
The Salukis are going to be a legit team in the NCAA tourney this season. St. Louis is having trouble scoring and have been blown out be a lot of quality teams. With the defense SI has they should shut down Stl.

Loyola Chicago -9.5 vs UWGB
Horizon League conference game. Both teams are experienced, but the talent level at UWGB isn't very good. Loyola and Butler are the class of the Horizon this season and I expect Loyola to blow out UWGB (UWGB lost to NDST by double digits at home - not a good road team).

KState +3.5 at Col. State
KState has been playing well and I'm a bit surprised to see them being a dog. Don't know Colorado State well enough this year to make an honest opinion on this gmae yet.

Illinois +7 vs Arizona
Line seems a bit high to me. Illinois can play with about anyone and keep it close because of their defense.

Nebraskas -5 vs Rutgers
Fading Rutgers

NMST -7.5 vs SF
SF is playing tonight, have another game tomorrow... Giddens (Kansas transfer) has been doing a good job for NMST. They lost me a ton of money against NM though so I'm a bit gunshy now.
