Picks 2/20/09

Couple plays today:

Harvard +5
Illinois St +3.5 - Niagra's defense has not been very good they last few games. They don't rebound very well on defense either. I will go with the team from the better conference.

I am looking at the VCU @ Nevada game. From the games I have watched VCU is the better team I am just worried about the long trip on a short rest (they played on Wed while Nevada has not played since Sat). I might play the total Under instead of backing VCU; with the hopes that both teams come out sluggish (long trip and week off).
