At first I thought that you had mistakenly written that ECU was favored over Tulane tomorrow. Then I went and checked RPI live and sure enough ECU is favored to beat Tulane tomorrow. That is going to be an interesting game.

Tulsa has really been a disappointment. Only 5.5 point favorites over UCF. UCONN and Temple should be good

Every game on espn channel's, nice to see.

Not sure why we are favored.

I really want to go to the UCONN game tomorrow, but I can't.

Conversely, I really don't want to go to the UCF game tomorrow, but I have season tix, so I guess I will be there.

7.5 point underdogs worked well for us against Kansas, we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Our W/L's have been a disappointment to the Tulsa fans as well.

American Conference will get to know Pookie Powell soon. Very unique kid and like his upside.

I'm just ready to watch a real coach.

Home court has a LOT of power in college basketball. ECU -3 suggests that Tulane is about 3 or 4 points stronger, but as a road team that small advantage is nullified.

UCF gets Tulsa at home and I believe we are 6-1 all time at home against Tulsa. That being said UCF sucks big time this year and two true freshman have been starting all year so I think the UCF loses, probably by 10 or so. Future could be bright though, BJ taylor has been freshman of the week 4 times already.

Geez, usf is 17 point underdogs to SMU? I thought SMU was having a disappointing year so far. I would think taking that line for usf would be a good move but I haven't seen them play this year yet.

USF have run hot-and-cold in non-conference play. The offense isn't always there. If they can shoot the ball well they'll surely cover - otherwise this will be a blowout.

A lot of people believe Kennedy's reinstatement will turn that team around. He should get some minutes today.

Also Tulane's last two wins were by single digits against 300 plus RPI teams. Both at Tulane. Recent play creates a lot of doubt.

You are going to have to enjoy watching the coach, because the team is nothing to write home about.

USF doesn't have the inside game nor outside shooting to stay with a good team.

Today will be a decent test for Pookie. If he doesn't come though for us this season it will be a long one in Tiger Town. Never thought Memphis would be so dependent on a freshman. Oh well.

After those two ugly wins, Tulane then easily covered against UW on the road (and they played well) - but followed that up with a firebomb against the Johnnies.

Tulane is not an easy team to read. Vegas is probably lost as to what to think.
