I respect Gregg Marshall a ton as a head coach. What he has done at Wichita State is remarkable. But be that as it may I am laying the points here with Cincinnati at home. I think the Bearcats will be out for some blood after the loss at Houston the other night. I actually played Houston in that one as a rabid dog but I will take Cincy here with no hesitation. That loss snapped a 16 game winning streak and I expect them to start another here at home in convincing fashion. They have been a covering machine cashing seven of their last eight games when squaring off against winning ball clubs. They have also cashed the ticket in five of their last six games on their home floor. I realize taking the generous points with Shaq Morris and company might be appealing to most but I'm not doing it. These two will meet again at the end of the regular season and maybe the Shockers will have their day at that point. I am not seeing it here against the Bearcats on their own floor and coming off that loss. Like it enough I am going triple here with the home team. 

Been on a nice run with the college hoops but please, as always, play this like any triple and nothing more or less.  Each game is it's own animal. I like our chances here a ton but nothing is a sure hit guys. Just trying hard as always to keep this stuff real. Many sincere thanks as always and best of luck to all of us. Enjoy the game.
