Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Jimmie's Analysis:
Also on the under here. I expect this to be one of the more lopsided games of the first round. SIU Edwardsville wasn't even the best team in the OVC during the regular season, and hasn't seen an opponent anywhere near the level of Houston. Kelvin Sampson's team could easily hold SIUE under 50 points if they really want to. Houston by 30+ here.

Jimmie's Analysis:
This could be the ugliest game of the Thursday CBB slate. Houston is the best defensive team in the country, and Kelvin Sampson's team had no issues shutting down the top offensive teams in the Big 12 all season. This game only goes over if Houston keeps its foot on the gas and scores well over 80 points.
