Niagara pk over Fairfield ****
Purple got derailed by O'Toole's half court offense and a zone that collasped inside in last weeks loss to fairfield 69-59.It was Niagara's 1st double digit loss of the yr.And was played at home.Stags with losses to two top[Gai-Todd] players went on a winning streak beating everyone in its path.Everyone has stepped up big.Esp Sogadazi,Maxwell,Bell,etc.Frosh Van.. even won rookie of the week.lw.
In last weeks upset win at NU Timmy slowed the game down to an half court offense attack.Many times didn't shoot the ball until under 10 seconds.NU is a high powered offense ranked in the top 10 in the country.They avg 82 pts a game and in last 10 games have scored..105,97,90,87,87,79,etc. Fairfield comes up north and plays the clock and holds them to 59 pts.Outstanding job by O'Toole with his game stratedgy.Several other MAAC times have tried it but to no avail.Sagging Stag defense forced NU to shoot from the outside.They were off shooting and couldn't get the ball inside.
No way that happens again today.NU went down to st peters and destroyed them the other day.held Clark to 17 pts.
Darden had 25 pts .Mendez and Reaves will get the ball inside.NU will attack the zone much more aggressive then last week.NU will trap and attack Stags half court offense.Last time they limited NU to one shot.mendez and reaves will hit the off bds big time today. No repeat and revenge.
NU beat Fairfield lyr away 85-74.The past yrs away they won 80-77 and 88-84.And fairfield almost won in closer games up in Niagara those yrs.
Fairfield is 16-5 ats ranked 7th out of 233 teams.Also 6-2 at home but Purple is 6-3 ats away.
Purple win by 6-8 pts today.
Oklahoma St -1.5 over OU ******* strong play
Big time matchup problems.OSU should be able to handle the OU crowd and win this by double digits.I have the line at -8 so I love the cowboys tonite.
OSU has already beaten them 77-56.Give OU 10 more home pts.
OU is young but talented.Bookout loss hurt them but even if he was healthy I like OSU.
OU defense is not the same.Sampson has gone to zone because he cannot matchup man/man.OU zone is getting better esp after styming Texas Texas the other day.TT had big time problems vs the 2-3 and OU won 63-48.TT had 23 turnovers trying to force the ball inside.and OU got 26 pts off those TO's.And that is the reason the line is only -1.5 tonite.OU offense last week scored 37 pts to Texas's 66.And they just beat texas AM who gives everyones headaches in College station.But OU struggles. Frosh Lavender had 30 pts.McKenzie is tough.But this team is so young.
Ok St is a diferent breed of a hoop team.They are loaded.They have won 8 str,15 of last 16.Ranked No 1 in the nation shooting 52% Fg.No 11 in 3 pt fg%,
OSU is a much better team then OU.I know they are playing at OU and many will be worried about home court.No time to get into all the players but OSU has Lucas at the pt.Again great pt gds negate the home crowd many times.Lucas is having a great yr and will attack the seams.
OU cannot play man/man thru out so they must play a lot of zone tonite.OSU can shoot the lites out of any zone.What happened lyr to them in the NCAA's by the Cuse won't happen again.Eddie has worked on zone attack and since more teams like Texas and other B-12 teams are using zone its not new to them.
OSU has won road games at Texas,Iowa St,KSU, and.Arkansas.Lost to TT on the road.OU has dominated this series the past 2 yrs winning by 16 and 5 pts wins.But OU had records of 27 and 26 wins back then.Like McFarlin,Lucas,Grahram and co to win this..
Will be back with BC-Hall,ND -Cuse and Canisius-Rider
gl to everyone today.
