THE WINNING ADDICT-ZACH SPARAZZA
12* Drexel Dragons -2.5 (@Delaware) 4:00 P.M. EST
Bruiser Flint’s Drexel Dragons were finally ready to make the next step, win the CAA, and get to the Big Dance for the first time in school history. They opened their season in the 24 hour marathon with a 6 AM game at Rider, winning 80-62 and convincing us all that they were for real, and that Flint, a John Calipari product, was ready to get his team to the next level. However, since their season-opening win they are only 1-3 with losses to Norfolk St, Virginia, and St. Joe’s. While none of those names are ones that warrant immunity from criticism, it is true that Virginia is seeing a sharp upgrade in talent under Tony Bennett (his UVA Cavaliers just beat Michigan 70-58 in the ACC/Big 10 challenge—one of the few wins for the ACC). St. Joe’s is also much-improved this year, and Norfolk State, a perennial bottom-feeder in the MEAC, has a big time guard in Chris McEachin who made plays down the stretch to knock Drexel from the winners bracket of their tournament in the Virgin Islands.
Drexel is much better than their 2-3 record, and they have been without Chris Fouch for all but one game—as he was suspended for the first four games of the season. He returned and played limited minutes in their last outing vs St. Joe’s, but for a kid that had averaged double figures in each of his past two seasons, you can expect him to log some serious minutes in a must-win conference game for Drexel. Must they win in their conference opener? Yes, losing to a Delaware Blue Hens team that is possibly the worst team in the CAA (excluding William and Mary who just stinks) would be devastating to Drexel’s at large hopes. They don’t have enough high profile games left on their schedule, so if they want to secure a berth without having to win their CAA Tournament title—they have to beat Delaware today.
Delaware is 2-3 also, but their losses include Radford and Boston University—two schools that a CAA team should not be losing to. Monte Ross just has not done enough in recruiting, and while they had a once energized fan base when now Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey was there, their games are now empty. This is a short trip for Drexel, so they will have a lot of people in the building. Grab this line now, because if you are reading this on Saturday, the chances are you will have to lay 3+ points. Either way, I think you should be fine, because this Drexel team will open conference play with a big performance and right their ship after a tough start to a year with very high expectations.
12* North Dakota St -1 (@ IUPUI) 7:00 P.M. EST
This North Dakota St team is the real deal, and coming off their first loss of the season at Western Illinois, I expect a huge bounce back game for a solid group that cannot afford to start conference play 0-2. This group was averaging 74 points per game against a solid group of 6 opponents, but they went out in their conference opener and laid an egg against Western Illinois, shooting 5-24 in the first half and finishing the game with by far their lowest scoring output of the season in a 55-51 loss. This team won a true road game against a solid San Francisco team (quick trivia: Who is the best player to ever come out of Univ of San Francisco Dons program?) in the Hilltop Classic and followed it up with a 20 point beatdown of Bob Marlin’s UL-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns (Bob Marlin was at Sam Houston St and always does a great job of getting some of the best juco kids from his region). IUPUI lost their longtime coach Ron Turner to Georgia St, and they are in rebuilding mode. They lost their conference opener in OT at home to South Dakota St (a game that I gave away as a 3* free play winner on Thursday night), and they just haven’t gotten it going yet. They re 2-6 for a reason, with losses coming to Eastern Michigan and Arkansas Little-Rock, two teams that Ron Turner did not make a habit of losing to. Plain and simple: North Dakota St is the better team, and while conference road games are tough when there is this much travel involved, North Dakota St is the superior team—and they win this one today and cover the small spread. Answer to the trivia: Bill Russell
Idaho Vandals -2.5 (buy 0.5 point, this line opened at -3) (@UC Davis) 5:00 P.M. EST
Don Verlin has done a nice job putting some respectability on the face of a dormant program. Not to many high school hoops stars aspire to play in Moscow, Idaho (although Sarah Palin is an Idaho grad). However, as tough as Idaho is to recruit to, apparently the coaching staff at UC Davis finds it tough to recruit as well, because this program is bad. Idaho is 3-3 and comes off a home loss to a very good Eastern Washington team, while UC Davis is 1-6 and trying to find ways to compete in the Big West. Idaho has played well against some good teams this year: they opened their year with a 69-61 loss at Long Beach St (who trounced Pitt at the Oakland Zoo), and they lost at Montana by 5 (a perennial Big Sky contender who always plays tough at home and beat the aforementioned Long Beach St team in the game directly after the Pitt win). UC Davis lost to Eastern Washington by 20 while Idaho lost to them by 7, and not that I’m using the transitive property—but for the sake of argument, they have not fared as well against a common opponent. UC Davis also lost to Southern Utah and Bryant University—two schools that have never had a winning record at the Division I level. To cap it all off, this UC Davis team lost to Sacramento St 69-61 at home after leading by 10 at the half (a game I gave away as a free play winner with Sac St +4.5). Idaho is the better team, and it will take one of UC Davis’ best performances of the season to this point to cover this spread or win the game. UC Davis’ only win? An 84-78 win over Division II UC-Santa Cruz. Take the Vandals and get them down to 2.5, although you might be laying more if you aren’t reading this until Saturday morning.Comment
