Primetime Insiders (CBB)
4* Plays
UTEP -2
All comes down to UTEP's ability to play excellent defense. USM who is anemic already is going to have a lot of trouble scoring against UTEP. UTEP should score enough with a talented squad. The key is UTEP's ability to get to the line and limit USM's FT count. Artis, More and Winn should have a huge night on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. Vint and Winn are enforcers down low and make it difficult for teams to score. Love this matchup for the Miners tonight with a easy double digit win!
3* Plays
Old Dominion -6.5
On the road not a big concern due to the experienced ODU team. Like their ability to hit the glass with Taylor and have the advantage of great guard play with Freeman and Bacote. The key is ODU shutting down the 3 point shot of FIU.
East Tennessee State +3
Another road team with ETSU tonight. ETSU has played excellent ball in conference play and should shine against an underperforming Wofford squad. ETSU should have no trouble scoring and taking care of the ball against Wofford. The key is limiting the 3 ball which has been a strength of ETSU limiting teams to 31% from downtown.
Mercer -15
We are going against VMI again and feel great about it. Similar to Siena, this Mercer team should really be able to dominate the glass and control the game. I wish Mercer had a more prolific offense but VMI really doesn't play defense so they should score enough to get the victory. The key is Mercer dominating the offensive glass. If they can do this, it should once again get out of hand.
SIU-Edwardsville -7.5
Yep we are doing it...backing a terrible team like Edwardsville. However, it is a great matchup against a very poor SEMO team. SIUE is going to be a matchup nightmare for SEMO with the size and ability to crash the glass. The key for SIUE is going to be limiting the FTs for SEMO. If they can do so it won't be close in the second half.
