Hoopsters Under the Knife

Gregg Doyle has a very informative article detailing some of the key injuries that college basketball teams have suffered this year. To summarize, some instrumental players that are out for the year are:
Chuck Davis, Alabama; Armein Kirkland, Cincinnati; Nate Funk, Creighton; DJ White, Indiana; Demario Eddins, UAB; Josh Shipp, UCLA.

With the exception of DJ White, these are pretty recent announcements, and I expect their teams to struggle to adjust. So this week, I'll bet against all of these teams as they tinker with the lineup and try to find replacements. So for today, that means,

Auburn -2.5 vs Alabama.
Northern Iowa -8.5 vs Creighton.
Michigan St -4 vs Indiana.
Tulsa +15.5 at UAB.

In other games, I like Air Force -5 at Wyoming and Utah -4 vs San Diego State.
