2007-2008 Northern Arizona Lumberjacks NCAA Basketball Odds

NCAA basketball odds on Northern Arizona usually have the Lumberjacks favored in conference play most of the time. The team finished 18-12 last season and went 11-5 in the conference.  Unfortunately for basketball odds fans that follow NAU, they did not get home court advantage in the conference tournament and lost to Weber State.

NCAA basketball odds experts see that coach Mike Adras begins his 9th year at the helm.  Fans of NCAA basketball odds like to watch Northern Arizona because the team can always shoot.  Coach Mike Adras always recruits kids that can shoot first and play defense second. Last year the Lumberjacks led the conference in 3-point percentage and were second to Eastern Washington in scoring according to experts that look at NCAA basketball odds. NAU may not score as much this season for fans of NCAA basketball odds since they lost three of their top five three-point shooters, including nation-leader Steve Sir. Junior point guard Josh Wilson is perhaps the best assist man in the conference for fans of basketball odds.  He will be looking to past to seniors Kyle Landry and Ryan McCurdy in the post. Senior Nathan Geiser looked good late last season and should contribute according to NCAA basketball odds experts.  The best of the newcomers according to experts that bet NCAA basketball odds looks to be 6-foot-6 Zarko Comagic from Serbia.  He played at Central Arizona Junior College and averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game last season.

The question for fans of NCAA basketball odds is how will Northern Arizona play?  They usually like to shoot first but with big men Landry and McCurdy in the middle that could change according to NCAA basketball odds experts. Landry, at 6-9, and McCurdy, at 6-10, could be a solid combination for NAU basketball odds fans. That goes against the run and gun philosophy so it could be an interesting season for fans of Northern Arizona NCAA basketball odds.

NCAA basketball odds experts see a starting lineup of Josh Wilson and Nathan Geiser at the guards, Zarko Comagic and Kyle Landry at the forwards and Ryan McCurdy in the middle.  JC transfer Jermaine Bishop may also get playing time when he returns from injury.

It will be tough for Northern Arizona to top the conference again this season according to experts that look at basketball odds.  The Lumberjacks will be good though and that should put them in contention versus the NCAA basketball odds on most nights.
