The Salukis at 148th in the Net are currently 5-4 with their last win over a strongish High Point team. They play a 6-2 UT Martin team on Wednesday night.

As JOC noted in his next game section today, they have 4 players > 6'9 on the roster and seem to be a big team.

Spiders will need to play better than yesterday's game against ODU and I think will win a close one - 78-73.

You are right I line with Kenpom. They are predicting a 79-73 Spiders win.

Yes that is a good win at High Point. I dont like that they have a warm up game on Wednesday, where we will be coming off a long layoff and exams.

Another team that appears to be better than its record suggests. I will have to see if I can watch a little of their game this week. I like the fact that they aren’t a good 3 pt shooting team.

Don’t like the fact that the Solukis will have a weekday game either, but it appears to be an even matchup with UT Martin so maybe they will get worn down a little. Perhaps we should root for an OT game.
