Spread: West Virginia -9.5
1-star play on Jacksonville State covering (+9.5): Jacksonville State is a slightly better team than Monmouth in my estimation, so if the Hawks can beat WVU, the Gamecocks will likely hang around as well. I would have made this line about 6.5 or 7. It's hard to lay points with a team that plays a seven, maybe eight man rotation. Eilert's group looks much better tonight but Jacksonville State gives them a run for their money.
Over/Under: 138.5
2-star play on the under: Because of the short bench WVU has at its disposal, I'm starting to sense this is going to be an under team until the books adjust. Although Seth Wilson, Quinn Slazinski and others can get buckets, Jesse Edwards is the only consistent scoring threat the Mountaineers have. I'll keep riding the unders in West Virginia games.
