2-1 last night with a tough 1/2 pt. loss on GT over. On to Sat's exciting card. Got in some decent work so far on this card and this is what I'm on early.
Butler -13.5 - I had this one closer to 20 and Butler has been a cash cow at home going 5-1 ATS. Their defense has been outstanding and I see no reason why they don't keep it going today.
Wisconsin -2 - I've gotten to watch the Illini play a couple of times this year and feel like they just don't have a reliable go to guy offensively that they can really count on. They have not played well offensively in their L5 and are only 3-12 ATS on the season. Wisconsin is definitely the better offensive team and can go to Tucker when they really need an isolation. Badgers very solid defensively. I had this one at 4 or 5.
Illinois Chi -4.5 - Have this one at 8 so I'll play. Ill Chi has played well offensively over L5 and shoot the 3p well. They are 4-2 ats at home and 6-0 over at home where they are more consistent offensively. Just don't think Detroit has enough O in this one.
Rhode Island +7.5 - Temple doesn't warrant being this large a favorite imo because they have done such a poor job rebounding lately and their defense has been terrible. RI can score on the offensive end and I see no reason they couldn't possibly win this game SU.
Leaning towards Clemson with Williams booted off BC squad and the Tigers needing to bounce back after two losses. Looks like a good spot for them. Also looking at Ky playing with double revenge and having a huge rebounding and defensive advtg. against a Vandy team that struggles on the highway.
