Wednesday's Play--A Don't Make Sense Play !!

[Keith]

lost last night with Buffalo. 2-2 for my last 4 posted plays. Those of you who've been around for awhile remember the "don't make sense" plays from baseball. Well, I got one tonight in hoops.

Miami-Ohio is 12-7 with a 5-2 record in the Mid-American conference. They are in 2nd place in the East division of the conference. They play Ball State, who is 10-9 and is also 5-2 in the Mid-American conference. Ball State is coming off a big win at home over Ohio on 1/31, which kept them in 1st place of the West division. Now I know this game is at Miami-Ohio, but how the hell is Miami-Oh a 13.5 favorite ??? You'd have to be an idiot to lay that kind of number here, right ???

WRONG !! In true "don't make sense" fashion, Miami-Ohio is gonna cover that huge number tonight. Here's why. First, despite their similar records, Miami-Oh has an RPI of 53, while Ball State's RPI is 205. Ball shoots a lousy 61% from the free throw line, while Miami-Oh hits 71% of their free throws. Other than Purdue, Ball State has not played a single top 25 team this year. Miami-Oh has played UCLA, Pittsburgh and Xavier. Ball State lost on the road to Bowling Green on 1/28, had that big win at home against Ohio on 1/31, and now must hit the road to face Miami-Oh. Can you say "letdown" ?

This line makes no sense. No way Miami-Ohio should be a 13.5 favorite.

Gimme the Redhawks -13.5.

Wednesday's "don't make sense" play is Miami-Ohio -13.5 to Ball State.
