YSU hosts Valpo tonight. The Crusaders are 11-9, 3-2 in the Horizon League
Valpo has home wins over UIC and UWM and a road win at Detroit. League losses are at Oakland and home to Wright State.
Non-conference includes 3 non-Division I wins and no wins against Pomeroy top 150 teams. Bad losses (Pomeroy 200 or higher) were to 227 Evansville and 270 Eastern Tennessee.
Pomeroy gives YSU a 73% chance of winning and projects a 81-74 final.
Massey gives YSU a 66% chance of winning and project 80-75.
Sagarin's ratings make YSU a 4 1/2 point favorite
Dunkel indicates the Vegas line is YSU by 4 and recommends taking Valpo plus the points.
My morning paper has YSU a 2 1/2 point favorite.
This is the weakest Valpo team in a few years. YSU has won the last two at Beeghley against them. This is a game that YSU needs to win if they hope to contend for a double bye in the conference tournament.
I will be away from the computer for most of the night - hoping to come back to a good result.
