After a rough couple of opening months to the college basketball season for the Gorilla, hopefully Santa brought us some good luck for the rest of the season. Here's 9 Units to enjoy the Monday after Christmas:
DePaul at Pittsburgh (-12.5) O/U 117.5
The Blue Demons got big man Mac Koshwal back in their last game, a loss at Florida Gulf Coast. He recorded a double-double, but couldn’t help DePaul get the win.
The Panthers have been playing great defense this season, limiting opponents to 56.2 ppg, best among Big East teams. The Blue Demons are second in points allowed, but have struggled on the offensive end, scoring just 61.3 ppg.
The Panthers have enough scorers and will create enough points off turnovers to distance themselves from DePaul in their conference opener. The Demons will have a hard time scoring consistently in this one, and this has the makings of a 60-40 type final score.
Take Pitt for 4 Units and the under for 3 Units
Nevada (-5.5) vs. Portland
The Wolfpack is playing some good basketball right now, having defeated BYU and Tulsa in consecutive days last week. They host Portland in a nonconference game.
The Pilots began the season winning their first five games and jumping into the top 25, but have since lost four of their last five.
Portland has the balance to compete in this game, but the Wolfpack are too tough at home and are too good offensively for Portland to keep pace.
Take Nevada for 2 Units.
