7-Unit Play. #784 Take St. John’s (-1) over Minnesota (7 p.m., Wednesday, November 26)
Maybe this really is the year the Johnnies can make their mark in the Big East. If the entire squad can finally stay on the floor together, the potential is there. Minnesota has Andre Hollins as their lead man, but I think the Gophers lack the necessary supplemental help unlike what St. John’s has behind their star D’Angelo Harrison. A prime example of that is sophomore point guard Rysheed Jordan, who is ready for a huge year after a lot of distractions in his first college season. Talented JUCO transfer Keith Thomas and Chris Obekpa also form an intriguing frontcourt to balance the team’s previously mentioned talented backcourt. I geninuely think Steve Lavin has a Top 25 team in the making if they can continue develop over the course of the season. This one is part of the Preseason NIT, however being played in their backyard this game is practically a home game for the Red Storm. The Big East team continues their winning ways in November with a fourth straight win to begin the season.
3-Unit Play. #762 Take Coastal Carolina (-2.5) over Louisiana Monroe (2:30 p.m., Wednesday, November 26)
I see Coastal Carolina being good for a win two or three times the number they are laying. They are superior to ULM and I think we’re getting this one at a modest number to be honest. Small play definitely suits this match-up on the favorite.
3-Unit Play. #748 Take Evansville (-2.5) over San Francisco (6 p.m., Wednesday, November 26)
I like this Purple Aces team. They lost last night but we still won on Evansville with the points, and here I think they are good for a second straight winning bet. The Dons lost last night as well but their result was far less impressive, getting routed by a Florida Gulf Coast team that isn’t as talented as this MVC team. Go with Evansville here to be the group that bounces back.
3-Unit Play. #801 Take Morehead State (-1.5) over Marshall (8 p.m., Wednesday, November 26)
Morehead State has already logged three road games against the likes of UNLV, Cincinnati and Louisiana Tech (5 of their 6 games so far have been away from home). And while all three of those true road games were losses, this result will prove more favorable. Morehead State has a ton of experience in which they can count on. Angelo Warner is an OVC stud and is one of four returning starters on a proven team that won 20 games a season ago. The team also has two transfers from LSU as well as newcomers from IUPUI and Liberty. The overall skill and talent is there, they just came up short a few times previously (1-point loss at UNLV, single-digit losses to Cincy and LT) And even in spite of these early setbacks, Morehead State is favored because they should be. They have the skill to dictate this game against a Thundering Herd team that went 11-22 in 2013 and graduated its best player off that team. Morehead State will also be the hungrier team tonight having opened the schedule 2-4. This is the perfect opportunity to really turn in their best outing of the season and log a road victory prior to going back home to continue their schedule in December.
