Taking WESTERN KENTUCKY tonight. We faded away on USC in their opening game and nearly cashed a huge double digit dog as an out-right winner in double OT. What has changed? USC is without their 2 best players. Will there be a huge crowd tonight? I have no clue. What did they have for that Ashville game? 2 thousand people. WKU is a good team. They are highly motivated. Where is the motivation for SC? Best player sits out tournament so he doesn't hurt his NBA stock. 2nd place and in Conference Championship Game. But worse schools in conference play get the nod. WKU, fresh outta C-USA with 25 wins is looking for scalps to hang in their mid-major trophy room. These guys knocked off Purdue on a neutral. Lost a tough one to Nova 66-58. Beat a good, healthy SMU team on a neutral. Lost at Wiscy by point, a tough venue. Do we have to talk about the poor PAC 12. After SMU lost to WKU, a week later they belted this SC bunch 72-55. Will probably be grabbing +160 ML on the Hilltoppers also. 5* Best Bet WESTERN KENTUCKY
