NIT Tournament – California vs. Colorado Line at -6

The 2011 NIT Tournament Second Round takes place at 9:30 pm ET Friday evening and Bookmaker.com was offering a line of -6 on the home team Colorado.  Bookmaker.com was one of a handful of online sportsbooks offering odds on the NIT Tournament this year. 

California comes into this game with an 18-14 record while Colorado was at 22-13.

Colorado is one of the most offensively efficient teams in the country, and it'd be hard to think Cal would be able to stop them from getting the looks they'd want Friday night, noted Avinash Kunnath of Sports Betting Nation (Bay Area).  He does point out that Colorado’s biggest weakness is its shooting defense.

Last year, NIT tournament betting was generating tremendous interest
