CBB thoughts:

-Harvard seems to be in a good spot here. Sounds odd considering they have lost 4 straight. I do think they will be emphasizing playing 40 minutes of ball here. It sems in some recent games it has been a tale of two halves. Harvard has many offensive weapons where NE is limited to really two. Harvard is poor rebounding the ball but so is Northeastern. Just seems that with a long layoff and some rust possible this is a good spot ofr Harvard to keep the game close......

-Ball State another dog is a good spot? Finally a home game , finally a team it may be able to beat. If you look at the games there has been only 3 teams they have played they could beat IMO. Wisc-Milw which ended in an OT loss , Evansville which they lost by 1 and @ Ark State which they lost by 10. The tricky part about Ark St is with Ball States lack of offense it will be real tough to win at all in the road. Factor in Cal-SB travel and you may have a good spot....

-Memphis playing its first true road game. Cincy shocked the hell out of me with there play vs Xavier. I understand the rivalry aspect but Xavier I felt was to deep. Anyway with a week to think about I doubt Cincy shows up flat here and looks to build off there previous game..

-Bradley looks attractive cause I didnt expect anything higher then 7.5. Both FSU and Ohio State were closer then the finals suggest. As always game comes down to Butlers ability to hit three's. Clear contrast in styles should make it interesting....

- Wofford with its veteran guards now healthy and contributing is better then it showed @ Wisky and @ Arkansas. They played well vs Bama but not crazy about the quick turnaround but outside of a terrible Loyola Chi team who has Purdye blownout. Could they be looking ahead to there Vegas trip??
