Houston Baptist @ Tulsa (Tulsa -15, 158.5) 1 PM
Tulsa began last season against some crap teams.
First 4 Games of 2018:
Alcorn State W by 17
South Carolina State W by 18
California Baptist W by 3
Little Rock W by 10
None of those teams finished in the top half of their conferences. Houston Baptist finished 7th of 13 in the Southland Conference last season. I’ll take my chances.
Bet: Houston Baptist +15
Confidence: 2 Units
Result: Houston Baptist 72 Tulsa 80
Western Illinois @ Indiana (Indiana -21, 143) 7 PM
Last season against non power 5 teams, IU won by an average of 28.8 ppg, but 4 of 7 of those games were won by more than 21. Western Illinois finished 8 of 9 in the Summit League last season. They lost @ Creighton to start the season by 11, and later lost @ Nebraska by 24. Western Illinois just isn’t a strong enough non power conference team to compete with the Hoosiers.
Bet: IU -21
Confidence: 1 Unit
Result: Western Illinois 65 Indiana 98
Today’s Record: 2-0
All-Time: 2-0
