What's the spread and what's the play Usps O'Wise one

Need to ask @johnsoniu for that but I think Mercy gets their first win.   They have played better as of late for winless team.  This team at one time was a basket away from winning at Ole Miss early in the season.    IUPUI will have to stop Stone 

[johnsoniu 6,409]

IUPUI was a 2 pt favorite when they played earlier, so Detroit will probably be a 1.5 to 2 pt favorite at home.

Detroit was actually favored earlier this year against Eastern Mich and Ball St, but that was 11 or so losses ago.

They both are terrible against the spread, and have been for the last 4 years. If you have the urge to throw some $ on it, flip a coin and then DM me for the gambling addiction hotline # :)

Does anyone know why David left Texas Southern for Detroit? Strange move that is obviously not working out.

I wouldn’t bet any games with IUPUI, they seem wildly inconsistent.  Watched them beat PFW at the Coliseum in Fort Wayne, then turned around and lost to them by almost 30 at home, lol.

A final payday before retiring would be my guess.

Could be.

He had winning records at IU, UAB and Texas Southern -- but has been downright brutal in Detroit.

I looked into this earlier and his salary appears to have gone from 250k at TSU to ~400k at DM. That doesn't seem like an obvious move to me when DM is seemingly a far worse job considering TSU hasn't really stopped going to the tournament since he left after his 4 appearances.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Like most people making $250k, they would change employers in a heartbeat for an 80% pay raise for basically similar work.

For a worse job, after already making well into six figures for about 20 years? Maybe Texas Southern was maxed out on what they could give him, but he had a good thing going there with 4 tournaments in 6 years and the grass obviously wasn't greener in Detroit.

I know very little about either school, so maybe TSU is a hole (and as an HBCU, that would unfortunately not be surprising), but it appears on the surface to be a better job.

[RaceToTheTop 25,623]

Detroit Mercy is shooting 27.2% from three.  That makes them the better shooting perimeter team in this matchup....

IUPUI is shooting 24.6% from three -- making just 90 of 366 threes in 26 games.  For comparison, IU has made 32 more threes than IUPUI on just 6 less attempts.

Down 10 in the 2nd half is more like going to disaster's hotel room.

1-17 from 3 in first half.    Worst they have played all year.

I know I’m a gigantic homer, but I haven’t felt super uncomfortable yet. Their hot streaks are devastating. 

Kent going down is a major development though.
