2000* - Penn State Nittany Lions, 500* - Florida Gators Live dog Lions here tonight in Indianapolis baby!
Penn State is one tough out, and Minnesota is going to find that out in this game at the Conseco Fieldhouse on Thursday.
The Nittany's have 19 losses this year, but 10 of the 19 have come by just 5 points or fewer. That includes a 2-point home loss at home to Minnesota, and a 5-point road loss to a Minny team that doesn't exactly enter this tourney "flying high".
Tubby Smith's team has been shaky at best away from their cozy gym, sporting just a 4-9 straight up away mark, and a 3-10 against the spread away mark in those games.
Penn State is 9-4-1 against the spread on the road this year, and with "double-revenge" this season on their side, look for this to be a nip-and-tuck affair all the way to the final buzzer.
The Lions are 4-1 against the spread the last 5 series meetings, including covering 3 straight.
Take the dog here.
2000? - Penn State Nittany Lions
Gators need this one, and they need it bad! Of course that doesn't guarantee they will get it, and Auburn has been sticky this season for many a team, but this is a number I feel Florida can cover.
Florida has won 9 of the last 10 in the series, and their current 3 game losing streak entering this game suggests the Gators could be NIT-bound if they don't take care of their business in this opening round contest.
The Tigers are just 15-16 coming into this game, and they have lost their last 6 on the conference road.
Have to lay the short wood, and look for Florida to step it up a notch.
