Dec. 10 Plays

After hitting our second 5-Unit play of the year, we have three plays on a light night of college hoops.

DePaul (+12) over Mississippi St. Over/under 122.5
The Blue Demons have been one of the surprises of the early season at 5-2 with their only losses to Vanderbilt and Tennessee. DePaul is missing its stud forward Mac Koshwal, but has been able to stay competitive since he went down.
Both teams in this matchup like to grind out possessions and work deep into the shot clock. If the Blue Demons are able to hit some outside shot, which is a question for them, they should be able to keep this one close.
The first one to 60 in this matchup will win, so take DePaul for 2 Units and the under for 3 Units.

Syracuse/Florida Over/under 147.5
This is a very intriguing matchup between two surprising unbeatens in the Big East/SEC Challenge at Tampa. The ‘Cuse has the propensity to score in bunches, and they usually get their opponents to play at their pace.
Florida’s outside shooting is shaky, which could spell doom against the Syracuse zone. But the Gators were able to hang 77 on a good Michigan State defense.
Take the over for 4 Units.
