    I see the line is moving towards G-Tech, which makes it even better. I leaned Syracuse a bit because it's a matchup issue for Tech in that they do almost all their scoring inside which plays into the hands of the Syracuse zone. The pace will be slow as BOTH teams are in the bottom 10% (or less) in adjusted tempo. Both teams are at or near the bottom of the Conference in % of points scored from behind the arc, so if this goes over it's two-at-a-time, which I don't see happening. Both teams have not been good at protecting the ball, so moreÁ turnovers equals less meaningful possessions, and of course with these two we won't (shouldn't) see fast breaks. Syracuse IS a good FT shooting team and get there (the ONLY caveat) but on the road they should get less calls. Tech is not a great FT shooting team. Tech controls things at home:

    Total points for Tech at home:
    v/Miami 118
    v/Notre Dame 113
    v/Pittsburgh 123
    v/Virginia 112

    The anomaly was Clemson last week. But Tech only put Clemson on the line nine times and Clemson shot well from deep, something the 'Cuse just doesn't do. Both teams shot well from three-point range, something that won't (shouldn't) happen again. Throw out the BC game where Syracuse DID score - because BC cannot play defense, and even in the two games against the lowly Panthers, Syracuse managed 60/59 points. I'll take my chances that neither team gets to 60 here -

    I'd love to take the Tigers here but I just can't. The fact is Missouri has won only two true road games all season long. Defense always generally travels well but Coach Martin has not quite gotten it there yet. No question this team is better than last year, or the year prior. But when being real about it that is not saying a lot. Moe was sharper than Curly if you get my drift. But seriously, Mizzou is what they are. They are improved and capable of causing some trouble for some good teams on their home floor. I simply do not trust them on the road. No valid reason to. I cashed with the Tide on Saturday when they hosted Oklahoma in the conference challenge and they took care of business handily against Oklahoma. News flash, they match up better against Missouri than Oklahoma. There were some rumors that Michael Porter Jr might unexpectedly suit up for this game. Maybe someone in Vegas got some "inside" scoop. Well I made a call to someone who would generally know and they assured me it was all bullshit. To me this number is off. I have not fired one single game of the year in basketball this season. Not one. How many services can say that with a straight face? I don't screw around with these. Mizzou's line in the sand came last week when Auburn came into town. They pushed all their chips into the middle of the table so to speak. The coaching staff put a ton of emphasis on that specific game. End result was Auburn spanking them on their home floor 91-73. They followed that up with a trip to Starkville and Mississippi State and hopefully a rebound. End result was the Bulldogs drumming them 74-62. This is not a confident team going into Alabama guys. Our only concern is kids being kids and the Tide looking past Mizzou, always a concern with college athletes at all times. Just keeping it real. But the fact is the Tide have quietly covered the number now in a stellar 9 of their last 11 games in league play. Nothing is a lock ever but nothing a½bout this game inspires any confidence here on a Missouri team that has just won only two true road games all season long. I say it is a reasonable number. I know Porter, Jr is itching to get back on the floor before the season goes up in flames but I do not see it happening here. I doubt he plays the next home game against Kentucky. Hope I am wrong but I do not think I am.

    Okay, there it is. Love the game but don't go crazy. I know this stance gets old with some who hear it over and over. But no game is a lock guys. Anyone who says different is an idiot. Just trying to help, not preach.
