A nice day yesterday going 2-0 and now will look to build on it today. As mentioned yesterday my volume for the next few weeks is going to remain fairly low though. Here’s what I’ve got for Tuesday…

Belmont (+2): Belmont is going to want this one pretty badly. This year they scheduled 4 tough non conference games with Vandy, Florida, Rhode Island and Middle Tennessee State. So far they’ve dropped the first 3 and now this battle with MTSU is the last one left. Belmont probably cleans up in the Ohio Valley Conference again this year so to even have a shot at being in the conversation for an at large tourney bid they’ll need to get a win here. Going 0-4 in their 4 tough non conference games would pretty much end any at large shot right there. Playing at home with that on the line I expect effort and focus to be at an absolute max. On the other end of this equation is MTSU who is a damn good team. They’ll likely win their 24 to 25 games this year and are clearly the best team in Conference USA. Belmont hasn’t come close to playing their best ball yet and much of that can be attributed to the fact they are only shooting 28.5% from 3 point land, which is 329th in the nation. This is a team that’s usually an excellent shooting team from 3 and I think sooner rather than later it’s going to turn around. Overall it just feels like a perfect spot for a breakout game for a good team that hasn’t clicked quite yet. I like Belmont to get it done.
