More Friday Action

The Ohio State-Cal game is looking good on both fronts, so let's keep it going with three more plays tonight.

Vanderbilt (+5) over St. Mary’s 2 Units
Much was made of SMC’s destruction of San Diego St. earlier this week, and the Gaels are always tough at home. But Vandy matches up well against SMC’s big man, Omar Samhan, with their own anchor in the middle, A.J. Ogilvy.
The Commodores always play tough perimeter defense, which should limit the Gaels’ outside shooters. Vandy will keep this one close and potentially grab an important road win.
Take Vandy for 2 Units.

Iowa (-10.5) over Bowling Green 3 Units
The Hawkeyes have gotten off to a herendous start with two home losses to mid-major opponents. Their losses have been marked by poor shooting, thought to be a strength of this team, and turnovers. Iowa has shot under 30 percent from three-point range and had at least 15 turnovers in its two losses.
Bowling Green is an extremely young team and and only has two players scoring in double figures through two games. The Falcons were crushed by Xavier in their last game, and the Mustekeers play a similar type of defense to the Hawkeyes.
Take the Hawkeyes for 3 Units.

South Carolina (-5) over South Florida 4 Units
The Gamecocks are one of the SEC’s sleeper teams and have the homecourt advantage against a South Florida teams going through a possible NCAA scandal. USC has four players currently averaging in double figures, meaning the Gamecocks can really score the ball.
The Bulls have always had trouble putting points on the board consistently, and this season is no different. USF struggles to complement Gus Gilchrist, and the Bulls won’t be able to keep up with the Gamecocks in this one.
Take USC for 4 Units.
