May run this for the season or not, not quite sure yet
793 Western Carolina* +21 -110 1 unit
832 Missouri* -2½ -110 1 unit
FYI-----these were things i jotted down while i was still "PG Guantanamo" so they are a little dated
Texas a 9 point early favorite in Smart's debut against huskies according to 5dimes early limits, always tough with good coach with someone else's players, but I think early motivation if they have embraced his methods like scouting reports say they come out firing. Barnes teams were built different but i dont think the physical makeup will be the stumbling block. everyone feeling secure in their role will be. First half play and under with defense setting tone best look. Came out at 11 on 5dimes, which may be too much, ill look for it to come down hopefully with everyone thinking the new coach adjustment will take time
Wofford terriers with only four seniors gets a trip to Columbia Missouri right on the trail end of the controversy out there. Easy road fade past two seasons as a favorite but a little doggie barks often and likely keeps it within 10. No line available yet well that opened well short of what i would have expected at 2.5, no chance i take them here where foul shooting will make the difference and missouri covers at around 6 IMO
Opening line temple +11 in neutral site. I think they give Carolina some fits early and often in an ugly low scorer with plenty of cold shooting minutes perfect for live bet opportunities. Curious if that preseason ranking doesn't push more public money on unc when the lines get made general public come Thursday. Opened on 5dimes at 9.5, i would have like to see it go the other way and take Temple at 12ish. Doubt we will get the push we want to drive that number back to where it was on the early limit release so best leave it alone or hopefully that total is more workable.
