Wednesday's Selections ... 10 DIME - DUQUESNE - Rolling with the home dog tonight.
This is the most talented team Ron Everhart has had with the Dukes as they return 8 of the their top 9 scorers.
They have jumped out of the box winning 5 of their first 6 games with the only loss being at Western Carolina, a team I will talk about shortly.
There will be no intimidation between these two teams as Pitt and Duquesne are so close together, these kids play pickup in the offseason with one another all the time.
Fact of the matter is, when you are Pitt and have the national reputation you do, a lot of the time you will get inflated numbers in non-conference play, which I feel we are getting tonight.
This line should at the most be Pitt -3 and I will gladly take the 3 extra points in a rivalry game all night long.
Already this year Pitt struggled against a Wofford team who returned pretty much their entire team 63-60 and that game was played at Pitt.
Wouldn't suprise me if Dukes won this game outright.
10 DIME - NORTHERN IOWA - The preseason pick to win the Missouri Valley conference getting this many points from anybody out of conference and I will grab them all night long.
This is the 4th time Greg McDermott faces his old school where he played and coached and emotions will run high.
I know Iowa State comes in with one loss but laying this many points to a very solid NIU team is just too many.
They return all 5 starters from last year and have gotten off to a 4-1 start with the only loss being to a Depaul team that is better than people think.
Until Iowa State shows me they are up to covering a number like this against a very good and disciplined bunch from Northern Iowa, I will grab the points all day long.
10 DIME - WOFFORD - As I mentioned before, this Wofford team is what I considered to be one of my sleeper teams this year.
They return 9 of their top 10 players from last year, including all 5 starters and have come out of the box very competitive.
How about a 4-3 overall mark as well as a perfect 4-0 ATS on the road. They lost by 3 at Pitt, beat Georgia by 3, lost to Bradley by 2 and covered at Illinois.
What is even more impressive to me is their win at Georgia against Mark Fox' Bulldogs.
Western Carolina also returns 5 starters and has gotten off to a rock solid start but they haven't played near the competition Wofford has and the value here lies with the Terriers.
