The marathon continues…

Too soon. I should’ve listened to the Tribe’s coach when he said that it would be January before they hit their stride. Hindsight is 20/20. Have no fear, as the marathon continues there will be plenty of opportunities to get back in the game…starting now.

I woke up to see Northeastern v S. Illinois on the schedule for 10am. I thought, “Didn’t Northeastern put a guard in the NBA from last year?” Sure enough, they did. It will have to take a while to fill that void in a program that isn’t traditionally known for being a powerhouse. It’s also a put up or shut up year for head coach Chris Lowery of the Salukis. No better time to start than with a comfortable home victory. The Pick: Salukis -5.5

Why not tease it with Baylor? OK, I will. Salukis -1.5, Baylor -11.5.
