Southern PK a 1-16 SWAC team as a favorite on Saturday. A team whose only win came against Wiley College. A team that lost at home to California Baptist. First off, Southern’s record is very misleading. It had a vicious non-conference schedule (as usual) and has been competitive in SWAC play.
Also, the Jaguars will not only have motivation to get their first D-1 and SWAC win, they will also have revenge on their minds. Pine Bluff ended their season in the SWAC semis last year.
looked at SMU total as well but if you look at this series history, outside of a 165 aberration in series two years ago, this series has only topped 154 in just 1 of the other 9 of last 10.SMU also very capable of slowing Memphis down and disrupting. I leaned Under but stronger stuff later for me.
This is a good opportunity to buy low on a Penn team that has lost four straight games — two of which came in hard-luck fashion in overtime.
The Quakers have had a full week off after losing back-to-back games against Princeton. They should come out with purpose against their Big 5 rival Temple.
While Penn has had plenty of misfortune over its past four games, Temple has not. The Owls have won four straight, including two in overtime and are probably a little inflated in the market at the moment.
