Baylor -2 appears to fit.


Majority of the games today are neutral-court and that will remain the case throughout the week but there might be a handful in there but I haven't inspected the schedule.
Don't hold your breath though.

No, Baylor-Winthrop is at the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands. I don't see any plays today.

okay...thanks for clarifying.
It didn't list it as USVI on my schedule for some reason and it looked like just a regular game.

Best place to confirm is the "Live Odds" page on Covers. If you click on a game and it says "vs" (instead of "at") between the teams, it's almost certainly neutral site.

Yeah, or you can click on Yahoo 'preview' of the game and see if they list the city - USVI v Texas, etc.

Doing it the covers way means you have to click on each individual game which is kind of a pain.

I was looking at the bodog screen which usually lists the location for all the Maui and USVI games, etc. But for some resaon they missed that one.

Last week they had a couple of games that were listed as 'Top of the World Classic' but claimed it was being played in Albuquerque, not Alaska.

Apparently one shouldn't fully trust Bodog's listing of locations for some of these games as they don't seem to do a very good job of proof-reading.

Collegerpi.com's database will tell you whether the NCAA considers it a home or neutral game for RPI reasons. I doubt some of those "home" games would apply to this system, but it's helpful info.

Yahoo->NCAABB->Full Scoreboard

Lists all games and locations. Just scroll through.

IowaSt -1 [as long as it's not a PK at WA lines]
SE Missou -1 [ditto]
UtahSt -2.5

Should home-court advantage be weighed perhaps a little less for these games?
Crowd-size should be smaller and less enthusiastic than normal since most students will be hopping out of town.
Obviously away-team is still traveling to an unfamiliar environment but I was under the assumption that the influence of the fans in attendance made a difference to the home-team also.

I remember going to a couple of Tuesday-before-Thanksgiving games and mid-majors like Miami-Ohio and Wright St and sometimes the crowds are less than half of what they would normally be.

Just something to think about anyway.
