After a solid start with Murray State on Monday, we're back with three picks in tonight's game.
Morehead State (+20.5) over Kentucky
It's usually dangerous playing lines this high, but the Eagles aren't getting enough respect here. MSU returns four of five starters off of last year's NCAA Tournament team, including Kenneth Faried who averaged a double-double last season.
Kentucky is without its stud freshman PG John Wall, who was suspended for this game for accepting money on a non-official visit. The Wildcats will undoubtedly be good, but MSU has the experience factor on them here and the Eagles should be able to keep it close. Take Morehead for 3 Units.
Morehead State/Kentucky over 135
It might be tough to find this line, but if you can this is an early season steal. Kentucky has a ton of firepower even without Wall, and MSU will be able to score too with solid outside shooting. The Eagles averaged 70 ppg last year and if they can get close to that number, this one might be covered with 10 minutes left in the game.
Take the over for 4 Units.
Georgetown (-10.5) over Tulane
The Green Wave does have all of its starters back, but that's not necessarily a good thing when your team finished with 14 wins last season. Georgetown struggled too last year, but that experience should help them this year and the Hoyas will get off to a strong start tonight. Take G'Town for 2 Units.
