Dropping 100+ on teams like Florida Memorial, Ave Maria, Webber (Not that Weber) and Johnson and Wales is not a testament to being an offensive powerhouse. CUSA play will separate the men from the boys. WKU will be fighting for a top spot in conference, while FIU will be floundering with a sub .500 record.

Maybe it's cause they average less than 60ppg. Don't be fooled by Davis winning the regular season title. This team is a bit different. You can tell by their 4-10 record. I know you are thinking Big West teams just go and get payday from Power 5 schools. Not really. They play other mid-major type programs. And Davis was getting beat often. 3 of their wins - Holy Names, William Jessup, Texas A&M CC (not the real A&M).

Taking TENNESSEE . This isn't football in January. Georgia beat these guys last year 73-62 at home, and hung tough 66-61 on the road blowing a nice half-time lead. Well. You caught them off a close game with Florida on deck. Then you got them off a pair of b2b road games. No such luck as this is a Vols team rested. This team is good. Georgia in a rebuild with a new HC. Vols can name their score, and I am thinking it should be 20. 8* Sure Shot TENNESSEE

TEXAS TECH gets the call as our Top Rated 10* MONEY BOMB Game of the Week. Red Raiders crushed these guys last year 66-47 on the road and 74-58 at home. Kansas State down 2 key contributors. I get it. The next guy steps up. But good luck vs Texas Tech who brings the D. I don't think K-State gets more than 50 today. If Tech doesn't win by 20 I will be disappointed. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS TECH

Taking CINCINNATI. Will lay the big number. But Cincy should maul these guys. This is what Cincy does. It crushes bad teams and gets you thinking their 25-2 record means something. Then they can't find the basket vs a good team. Well, ECU isn't a good team. They are a bad team. Another road game on deck vs Tulsa next. This is the game they want to really swarm though. After Tulsa, it is home vs UConn. We will look to fade the Bearcats in that Tulsa game. ECU with 7 wins. Let me run down some of these juggernauts of College Hoops. Lamar, OT at home!, Delaware State, Praire View, NC A&T, Maryland Eastern Shore. Lost to Charlotte who won't win 10 games this season. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BEARCATS

Taking BUFFALO. Not a big fan of laying points like this on the road, but EMU is pretty bad on offense. The biggest drawback is that Buffalo has Toledo at home on deck. I just don't think the coach lets these guys look even a game ahead. They are ranked. They have a nice win at Syracuse under their belts. Reigning MAC Champs will look to get out of the gate fast. Think this should be a comfortable win. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO
