4-Unit Play. Take #726 Massachusetts (-3.5) over Nebraska (12:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 21)
This game is part of the Charleston Classic. I like the matchup for the Minutemen. Tey have been
playing very well early in the season. Chaz Williams is one of the top guards in the country for the
Minutemen and he is averaging 21 points per game. Massachusetts has had some success in early
season tournaments the last few years. Nebraska is still rebuilding under Tim Miles. They lost a lot
of scoring punch from last year and will struggle again in the Big Ten. I don't see them getting a
win here.
3-Unit Play. Take #733 North Texas (+4) over Columbia (5 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 21)
This is an interesting game. But I think that North Texas will win this game. They have a lot of
experience back from last year's team. This team has revenge from an early season tournament
two years ago. Columbia won that game 72-57 and there are still some players on the Mean Green
that remember. Columbia falls in this one but take the points just in

3-Unit Play. #732 Take Clemson (-2) over Temple (8 p.m., Thursday, November 21)
Both of these teams entered the season with essentially new teams due to graduation, but
Temple lost so much more to the tune of nearly 50 points per game worth of scoring. Clemson has
shown perhaps it is a bit more ready to cope with their young roster by opening the schedule 3-0. With not one senior on their squad this season, Clemson will have to grow up prior to jumping into
a very difficult ACC league schedule. That being said, they'll keep up their fast start and improve
to 4-0 with a win here over Temple. I don't think the Owls are equipped to make up for the losses
of 20-point scorer Khalif Wyatt and the rest of Temple's lost starters. They've begun the season
1-2 for a reason. ACC over American in this one.

3 Unit Play. Take #732 Clemson -3 over Temple (8:00p.m., Thursday, Nov 21 ESPNU)
The Clemson Tigers are a perfect 3-0 and their defense has given them the reason why they are
perfect. The Tigers 'D' is holding opponents 48.3ppg and if Temple struggles to score tonight this
game will be over quick. The Temple Owls sstruggled to score against in the 2nd half and I'm
pretty sure the Clemson defense is better then Towson. Look for another big game from K.J.
McDaniels for the Tigers and we will see him grab another double-double. The Tigers are 7-2 ATS
in their last 9 non-conference games.
2 Unit Play. Take #732 Under 169 - Indiana Washington (9:30p.m., Thursday, Nov 21 ESPN2)

4 Unit Play Take # Western Carolina +9.5 over Kent State (7:30pm est): Western Carolina comes in one of the more experienced teams in CBB ranking in the top 50 teams.
They have faced a few tough teams in tough places to begin their year. This is school that
posted four straight winning seasons before last year. Things look to be back to those levels
again this year with this veteran squad.
Kent State has come out of the gates playing well this year with a big upset of Temple on the
road and then taking Seton Hall to the limit as well. Decent mid-level program laying close to
double digits here just seems to be way too much in my eyes.
Take Western Carolina and the points
My 50 DIME selection is a 3-Team 10-Point Teaser on Central Florida, Saints and the Over . The current line on these games is -17 1/2, -9 1/2 and 53. I advise taking UCF down to -7 1/2, Saints to +1/2 and the total down to 43 and go over. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.
