Sports Book Betting: TEMPLE OWLS at RICHMOND SPIDERS (1/14)
SPORTS BOOK BETTING - COLLEGE BASKETBALL — January 14
TEMPLE at RICHMOND
(Line: Pick’em, Total 140.5) — In Temple’s first four games, Michael Eric, the team’s 6′11″ senior center, was a threatening presence, pulling down 45 rebounds and blocking a couple of shots per game. Then he went down with an injury, which left a lot of people wondering about the Owls’ chances. Well, all Fran Dunphy’s team has done is win eight of ten games since then, including an upset of Duke. And they got over their loss to Dayton by returning with a road win visiting Ric Majerus and Saint Louis on Wednesday. Richmond is generally a pain in the neck to play, but despite wins over Rhode Island and Old Dominion, the Spider shave lost some spring in their step, failing to pass major tests, as it is obvious they miss sharpshooters Justin Harper and Kevin Anderson (combined 34.5 ppg) from last year’s squad. Sure, Darien Brothers is still around, and he will have to stat hot from the arc (49% so far) to keep the Spiders alive.
