Saturdays....

[Box and one]

Seton Hall -10 over Ohio St
Although I hate Orr as a coach this team is playing for the 1st time in yrs w/o everyone "chucking" the ball up playing selfishley.
Barrett is one of the top gds in the nation and has this team under his control.A floor leader.Sweets is playing like his name.Avg 11 pts a game and 6 bds.Toney-el has his head on right with about the same stats as Sweet.Allen has been moved to fd and if hot has range from the racetrack next door to the Meadowlands and slashes to the hoop and creates fouls.He's 28-32 from the FT line.Morris is solid also.
But today returns their 2nd best player in 6'8 Whitney who has been suspended for grades.There still waiting for the final posting last nite but he passed and will play.He adds rebounding and scoring in the paint.Lyr he avg 11 pts and 6 bds a game.
Ohio St is a major disappointment.But O'Brien will get them playing better.Stockman is a solid gd who can stick the 3.Sullinger can also score.Dials and Rads inside could give Hall matchup problems with their size.But Whitneys return negates that.OSU did suspend Sylvester a backup foward who avg 5 pts a game.
Hall has a balanced attack,are quicker,and has barrett who is a waterbug on speed that is 19-42 from the 3 pt line.Hall is loaded with 6'5,6'6 kids that can fly.Think they handle the Bucks and win by 12-15 pts.

I'll post this and come back with Niagara-Yale,Pitt-Murray,Wichita,ManhattanNorth Texas,and ODU...

 

[Box and one]

George Washington Pk ODU will post it tonite.Strong play.

Manhattan -2 over Richmond
Jaspers play solid defense, have Flores outside and Holmes inside.Spiders have a balanced attack with Skrocki leading.Both teams shoot well and can hit there FT's.Jaspers aren't going to let the Spiders win this.

Niagara +2.5 over Yale
Purple win this game out right.Yale is a lot better then they are playing.Martin and Vitilli can matchup size wise with Mendez and Reaves.But Darden is the best gd out there.Cruz is solid at the pt.Brooks can shoot.
Draghan is due.Minoff can score too.Gamboa is a nice solid pt.I think Niagara if it plays its "a" game can win outright on the road.

Bonnies -8 over North Texas
Tough game to capp.NT hasen't traveled to NY in yrs.NT has 8 or 9 players deep but they all a little above avg.Adding the 6'9 LSU transfer last week Johnson is going to elevate the mean green.But in 2 games he is avg 11 pts and 8 bds.But has 11 TO's and shoots 3-11 from the FT.NT lives on the 3.On the road in upstate NY those shots don't fall like they do in Denton.
Green is awesome.One of the leaders in the nation in scoring 24 pts.Lottin,Young are solid.
Bonnies can score.There a good FT shooting team playing vs a poor defensive team.

Wisky -8.5 over Marquette

[Box and one]

George Washington pk over ODU
If there is any team besides URI that impressed me more its the GW Cols.They are one of the top ats teams lyr. going 8-3 away.They have Thompson who has bebome one of the top gds in the country.He's avg 24 pts a game and controls the tempo.Pop-Bonsu can score.Hall and Williams can score.Pinnock is a 6'5 lightning rod frosh.Johnson,Lucas,and Collucci can all hit the 3.Thompson is 24-56 from the 3.
They are all so quick,athletic,can run the floor with anybody.They avg 77pts a game,shoot 45%FG and shoot 72% FT.This team has so much depth that Hobbs throws so many players at you.
ODU has a 6'9 stud in Loughton.He is one of the best players in the Col conf.Scores inside,has outside range.Hunter can shoot and Waller is coming off a big game.Dahi and Vasyluis are a pair of 6'7's that can score.They are one of the best FT shooting teams in the country.But their problem is defense.I don't think they can stop the "greyhounds" tonite.
Murray St +10 over Pitt
I like the Racers here.Pitt is loaded.Not going to bore you with the Pages,Krausers,Troutmans,etc.Pitt will be one of the best by the time the season ends.They are big,have scorers,and have beaten up on some weaker teams and have had trouble vs of them also.Little dukies gave them a scare.Geo-Ky almost upset them the other nite.
Victor is a stud for Murray.Avg 19 pts 12 bds.He passes,blocks shots,etc.Brown is the juco kid that can play.Chiles is solid at the pt.Jones,Shumate can all score from the 3.
I think Murray St keeps this close.Pitt will elevate their game tonite but when they do I think the Racers stay right with them.

Wichita St -5.5 over Tulsa
Tulsa has dominated the Shockers winning the last couple of yrs 80-69,82-76 and 78-49.Tonite it ends.Howard and Burns are a great duo.Kampman,Miller,Hoggs can play.Wichita can win the Mizzou this yr.These are 2 old rivals from those old Mizzou days.Wich avg 72 pts a game,shoots 45% and is an excellant FT shooting team.
Tulsa has Parker and Glenn that avg double digits 18 and 15.They do have depth but have lost to ORU and George St on the road.Tulsa is not a vert good ats road team.
Shockers shock the Canes tonite and cover

VT -8 overTowson st..can't sore
