Here is Joe Gavazzi's College Hoops pick for Gambling911 for November 8th, 2010. The Panthers clearly deserve their top 5 ranking. Playing at “The Pete,” a site many consider to be the toughest venue in all of college basketball, is a huge advantage. Opening night on ESPN only adds to the aura. They will barely miss PF Robinson. HC Dixon is blessed with a rotation that’s 10 deep setting up highly intense and competitive practices. In short, the Panthers are ready. But the line maker has made a major adjustment in this line based on the Panthers top 5 status.
(713) Rhode Island at (714) Pittsburgh (-12) 7:00pm EST ESPN
5* Rhode Island (+12)
All the value here is on roady 9+ with underrated HC Baron. Despite annually losing his best boys, Baron has increased his win total each of the last 5 years from 14 to 26 wins. They culminated last season with a semi-final NIT loss to North Carolina. Though he returns just 3 starters, his rotation is stocked with 4 seniors. The Rams love the up-tempo pace, one of the main reasons why their Achilles heel is a 47% shooting defense LY. But a team who is as offensively potent and well coached as the Rams have a world of potential if for no other reason to come flying through the back door.
