Hit Wake nicely last night - hit Penn State (not sure how), and not-so-much with Oklahoma State. We move on, with discounts to celebrate Ground Hog Day, which is in two weeks. Of course, living in Florida we really don't care if Punxsutawney Phil sees he's shadow or not.

Analysis: No clue what's this line's going to do - but IMO both teams get to 80 here. Giannini has LaSalle playing quicker than they have over the years, which has certainly helped their offense this season, but their defense - not so much. They're one of the worst perimeter defensive teams in the nation, and as fate would have it Davidson makes their living outside that semi-circle thing. I would grant you that Davidson isn't shooting the three-ball like they have in the past, but LaSalle's defense is the cure. They do get to the line more than you'd think, and of course are a great FT shooting team, and one that doesn't turn the ball over - hence more useful possessions. LaSalle is putting up 80+ points at home with regularity (I like them to win this game, too). They're almost a smaller version of Davidson, that can't play defense. Since neither team rebounds well, we should also see a fair bit of quick baskets off of misses. Because this one COULD be close, FT's down the stretch, so, most all of the ingredients I look for in an "over".
