#624 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Oakland -1 over Bowling Green, Tuesday at 7 PM ET - Oakland is 0-2 on the season but both were road games vs Big 10 teams. The Grizzlies were more than competitive vs high level teams Ohio State (lost by 6) and Illinois (lost by 11). They easily covered both of those games by a combined 27 points. Now they take a big step down talent wise facing Bowling Green in their home opener. BG is 2-0, which is giving us some value here, but their wins have come against Chicago State (one of the worst teams in the nation) and Arkansas State, both at home. In their most recent game on Saturday vs Arkansas State the Falcons won by 6 but it was a 2 point game with 19 seconds remaining. BG made 11 more FT’s in the game which was the difference. Now they take the road where they’ve been poor to say the least with a 7-21 SU record over the last 2 seasons. The Falcons have on 1 starter returning and just 21% of their minutes are back from last year which is the 2nd lowest total in the MAC. They are also trying to mesh a number of new transfers along with a new coach who came over from Southern Utah. Meanwhile on the Oakland bench is head coach Kampe who has 675 wins at the school which is the 4th most wins of any active coach. This is also a revenger for Oakland who lost 87-82 last year vs Bowling Green. The Grizzlies, who were favored by 8 in that game, blew a lead with under 1 minute remaining in that one. Now they are laying only a single point this year at home which is some solid value in our opinion. Their first 2 really tough road games have prepared them to get a home win here. Take Oakland.
