Hey HD, I have not had the time to post much as I have been pretty busy. I'm probably not telling you anything that you couldn't pull from the boxscore but I saw the Miami/ Wright game and there is something very, very wrong with this Raider team. Duggins was OK but still not shooting it well and Brown may as well not have even laced em up. The Wright presence in the paint is non existant. I think they miss Pleiman and Wilson far more than anybody thought they would.
I made a pretty good play on Miami last night and will continue to play against the Raiders. Its going to be a long, long season for Brownell and crew.
Just wanted to pass along a first hand report of the game your way.
Good luck today.

Roxy Music - Ya not sure if you saw my post, but i actually mentioned that after the Cent Mich game. That is 100% correct. There is just something missing from this yr's team. The defense is still there for the most part, but this team just can't seem to get it going offensively. Not sure what it is, but like you said Duggins doesn't seem to be shooting well, and like you said they would be better off without Todd Brown right now. You hit it on the head again, and I am glad we picked up on this just a few games into the season. hopefully they will still be getting some favorable lines so we can fade. I mean the past 2 yrs them as short chalk at home would have been an automatic play for me
all very good points. to be honest tho i really didn't study up on the IVY league that much, other than Cornell. i am not too familiar with the conference, i'm going to have to go to work on it.
As for Penn St they are always pretty heartless. Remember losing repeatidly on them last season? I'm going to have to take a look at this one. i'm sure if your feeling it tho you know what your doing, and you found yourself a winner
Here is update on CU's Carter
Creighton's prospects of having Justin Carter available for tonight's game against Arkansas-Little Rock took a turn for the better Monday.
The 6-foot-4 Carter expected to take part in the Bluejays' workout Monday evening at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock. Carter exhibited only a slight limp as he walked around Creighton's Vinardi Center before the team left on its chartered flight for Arkansas.
"I'm going to try to practice, and see how it feels," Carter said. "I think I'll be able to go."
Carter suffered an injury to the Achilles tendon in his right leg when he was fouled hard by Oral Roberts center Marcus Lewis early in the second half of Saturday's win over the Golden Eagles. Carter did not return to action and left Qwest Center Omaha wearing a walking boot.
Carter said Monday the injury felt better.
"I've been getting a lot of treatment," he said. "This is a relief. When it happened, I thought maybe I'd be out for a long time."
I am following "my leader" Homedawg and playing ALR +3.5 at home.
Homedawg thanks again for all your work and your picks.

2 Units
Clev St/Toledo Under 127 -110
2 defensive minded basketball teams playing in an empty arena with no motivation. spells for an ugly, sluggish game. Gene Cross took over Toledo and said that there is only one facet of the game he can control and that is defense. While they have faced some stiff competition they still have been in relatively low scoring games considering the competition. Plus they are doing their part in keeping the games low scoring. They are shooting at a very low %. in fact they were 38% vs FIU, 39% vs Xavier, and 43% vs. Florida. Their opponent shouldn't give them any more chances to score as they have help their opponents to 41% vs St Leo, 44% vs Kansas St, 43% vs Washington, and 32% vs Oakland. Clev st is an in your face, win with defense team. They make games ugly, and work the ball on offense. Jackson can control the tempo on offense, and should be able to control the game, along with the tempo. I expect another grind it out, low scoring game involving these 2.
