Haven't seen a line on game - curious as to what everyone's guess will be? Given MU hasn't lost a home conference game in over 2 years, that carries some weight.
Ken Pom has us losing 70-67...
Hard game to call - could see it going either way....if MU truly found something in Dawson and Steve Taylor last game, and they can show well again against Nova - feel we should win. If those were fluke performances, and we see lineups of old - see it being challenging to win.
Think I would take MU +3.5 though...
The lines for Saturday won't be up until later today but here's where you can check:

Then you will want the money line.

What if they were fluke performances but we don't see "lineups of old" because Buzz stays with Dawson and Taylor for long stretches, anyway? Or isn't that even a possibility?
Nova favored by 2 1/2 to 3.

Not sure if Buzz will ride Dawson or STJ for long stints 6-8 minute plus if they aren't showing well. But, I still believe with Dawson running the point, and being a threat to shoot from the perimeter - it makes everyone around him's job easier. So, I'd hypothesize that even if Dawson doesn't score a whole lot - Jake, Jamil and Davante will all be more efficient/productive than we've seen most of this season.
Steve Taylor was my favorite player coming in this year and I was disappointed not to see him until last game. If Steve is what I thought he was, I think things are looking way up
