St. Thomas (3-2, 2-3 ATS) stays #132 in the rankings. The Tommies are favored by 3.5 points tonight over undefeated #180 Northern Colorado (3-0) in their first game at the 4-team round-robin Portland Invitational.

Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
Currently ranked teams I'm not buying at this early juncture of the season:

#7 Michigan (don't like the guards other than Roddy Gayle Jr, Elliot Cadeau is cancer)

#12 Kentucky (too casual)

#15 Texas Tech (JT Toppin is elite, but I'm not sure the Red Raiders are)
