Davidson v. West Virginia

Looking for some help regarding WV. I've seen Davidson play and know Curry is the real deal.

Haven't seen WV play this year, and not too sure what to expect from them. Looking for input on WV, how they play offensively and defensively. WV lost their big stud in Alexander to the NBA. Have they adjusted to other people having to step up? I only see one SR on their roster as well.

My lean is toward Davidson and Curry. Curry and the boys don't shy away from playing the big games on the big stage - MSG on ESPN. They play an 8 man rotation, and 6 of those guys are either JR. or SR. I like their experience, coach, style of play, confidence and Curry's ability to hit Free Throws at the end of the game.

Thanks in advance for the input.

i personally played West Virginia only because im going to fade davidson a bunch this year. I think Books will give way to much respect to them because of last year and there will be some chances to jump on crappy lines

Curry is POY canidate but he is JUST one guy. Yeah he can put up 40 pts easy but Huggins will find a way to get his D ready for him.

plus offensive/defensive effiency favors WVU here. small play, but a play nonetheless

thanks for the feedback and info. Hadn't seen the suspension for Max. But did see Davidson went from small favorite to small dog.

davidson always plays tough in these games, but they rarely win

I'm so pissed. For 2 years since Curry's first game been burying Davidson and their lines. Now everyone knows about them and can't get a good line anywhere. Thinking about fading them this year as well...Even though it'll be tough to fade them in the Southern.

Also have loved Appy State for a few years and Charleston is always good to me. 2-0 with them so far this year..

If I had to pick 2 conferences I have the best luck in its the Southern and Big Sky

ok, thanks for the input, the line is now Davidson +2.5 and maybe i'm the sucker, but I can't resist.

Small $ amount.

Good luck
