No line that I've seen yet but ESPN's game predictor thing has ODU with a 61.5 percent chance of winning.

Pretty good guess. Kenpom has us winning by 8.

I can't figure out why Kenpom has them so low. They finished 116 according to KenPom last year and has a lot returning.

I thought that I read they lost two of their top producers from last year. I, frankly, don't understand why everyone is so high on them. They weren't great last year and are returning the same team, minus two significant contributors.

They were 116 in KenPom last year. They are projected top 3 in CAA (Blue Ribbon). They are one of the best rebounding teams in the country. They return 9 guys that averaged double digit minutes. They also might benefit from getting the games in Canada.

I think they only lost John Davis. They return 3 double digit scorers that will all be seniors. Who else did they lose?
