yah...I was on The Shitadel tonight. I'm a consistent drinker of Kool-aid.

My question is this....who goes to the punch bowl again with N.COLORADO getting a point at Montana St?

Also looking at SAN DIEGO as a short line road fave at UC Riverside and COLORADO getting 2 at Oregon St

Thoughts?

Montana St. Lost to S. Miss by 4 as a 1 pt favorite at home couple weeks back. Northern Colorado is ranked about the same. I don't see Northern Colorado winning as too much of a stretch.

Some info - I don't have a side.

N Colorado strength of schedule so far 339th
M ST SOS 76th

Seems to explain their records a bit

Nco is returning a team that was 340th in defending the 3 pt shot. The numbers are much better this year but against really crappy competition which is why I went to look at last year (same basic group of guys. Mostly juniors becoming seniors who don't TEND to make much improvement according to basketball prospectus)
MST likes to shoot that 3. they shoot at about 40%, and almost 40% of their total points come from the 3.

What does N Co do well; shoot 3's and get to the line.
Mt St does NOT do a very good job at preventing these things.

After doing this research, it's Mt St or NP, but a serious look at the over (if its offered) as three's should rain all night.

Northern Colorado at Montana State

When you haven’t really played anybody, how impressive is undefeated?

It’s the old Rocky Marciano scenario for Northern Colorado, who

boasts a stellar record against dubious competition. Marciano finished

his boxing career undefeated, but fighting in a lackluster era, his only

real signature win was against Joe Louis, whom scholars estimate was

106 years old at the time.

Perfect through their first six games, the Bears sit in a similar

scenario.

They’ve beaten up on the likes of Southern Utah and Texas Southern,

and their signature wins have come against Colorado State and Hawaii,

programs picked to finish at the bottom of their respective conferences.

The Bears were supposed to be cellar-dwellers themselves, but Tad

Boyle’s club has all the pundits wondering if they’re for real.

The good news: It’s time we find out.

Well, almost.

Saturday’s matchup between Northern Colorado and Montana could be a

sneak preview of March’s Big Sky title game, but first up for the Bears

is a stop in Bozeman, where they’ll take on the bumbling Bobcats.

Montana State has looked far from sharp in the early going, with

their only wins coming against Colorado Christian and San Francisco.

They’re fresh off an 89-66 drubbing at Oregon, against a team the Griz

made short work of.

How do Montana State and Northern Colorado match up? The two teams

share a couple of similarities.

Both have a one-two scoring threat.

Northern’s backcourt duo of Will Figures and Devon Beitzel has been

running circles around opposing guards, combining to score over 31

points a game. For the Cats, guard Erik Rush and forward Bobby Howard

have shouldered the majority of the scoring load, averaging nearly 30

points per game between them.

The other similarity? Consistency. With lights-out shooting and

shut-down defense, the Bears have been consistent on both ends. Northern

has scored exactly 70 points in each of its last three games, while

holding their opponents under their season scoring average.’

The Bobcats have also been consistent. Consistently bad.

They’ve been outscored, outrebounded and utterly out of sync. They

should be out of luck in this one.

Prediction: Who are these guys? Surprising Northern Colorado bear-ly

breaks a sweat, 75-60.

Dont trust a writeup from a guy who doesnt know what day the game is being played on.

N.Colorado plays Montana St tonight and then their BIG game that the article was talking about is on Saturday at Montana. Might look at how they did on their Montana swing last year and hope to hit one of the two. Still playing N.Colorado tonight....but have changed to UC Riverside and Oregon St after spending my preps researching the plays.

and ya....Scorpio knows his shit and I thoroughly appreciate his advice....but not all trap lines work for Vegas....JUST MOST.

Good luck all

N.Colorado ML 1u
UC River ML 1u
Oregon St -2.5 1u
