Stephen Nover's CBB Free Tuesday Play
(NCAAB) Bradley vs. Toledo,
Point Spread: -5.00 | -106.00 Toledo (Home)
Result: Loss
I rank Toledo much higher than Bradley - and I'm not the only one. The latest KenPom rankings have Toledo rated 118th while Bradley is 185th. The NET rankings, which replaced RPI and gives weight to beating quality teams, has the Rockets' 74th and Bradley at 240th.

Bradley is 4-5. The Braves do own a victory against Northern Iowa in their Missouri Valley Conference opener. But it's not a surprise the Braves have a losing record after nine games. They have eight new players. So chemistry and finding the right rotation are a work in progress.

Toledo is an upper tier Mid-American Conference team picked third in the preseason coaches MAC poll. The Rockets have defeated a Missouri Valley Conference team, too, beating Valparaiso, 69-61, as a 4 1/2-point road favorite.

The Rockets are 6-2 and will have the best player on the court, Ryan Rollins. He averages 20.1 points, which ranks 26th in the nation in scoring. Toledo averages 8 more points per game than Bradley.

The Braves are 5-15-1 ATS the past 21 times as an underdog. The Rockets are 9-4-1 ATS during their last 14 home games.

(Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 4-0 this season on his college basketball total of the week/month plays. Stephen has his CBB Total of the Week today in addition to this free selection. He also is 11-5 on his last 16 NBA plays.)
