Rutger-Tenn
will start this and come back later.Have been so damn busy and have such little time to post.Prom,School play,bd meetings,trip to NY state finals last week, dance lessons every monday,etc. Friday leaving with senior class to Disney for 5 days.They have to be supervised by somebody and the seniors pick me every year.It's probaly because they take pictures of me sleeping or napping in every park..Magic Kingdom,Epcot,MGM,Universal,etc.Lyr they put together a collage of me sleeping in every park and framed it.The title was.. "Were in good hands with Mr Box watching us." Class of 2005
That freak'in Orlando sun puts me to sleep.
Anyway yest liked maryland over baylor in girls.I know half of you guys cringe when I say girls but they are so fundamentally sound.They run such great offenses,passing is unreal.They never,never miss FT's.When someone goes up to the line to shoot the ESPN stat shows she's shooting 77%.Thats pretty low.They can hit 3's from anywhwere.The girls game is outstanding.I know I'm speaking from a coaches pt of view.But did anyone see Langhorne in the Terp game.Unreal.And her basket before half with .06 on the clock.The pass was great but her shot.Hopefully that is ESPN's No1 play of the day.
Well, I have to go to church now.wanted to start this now and will come back and post Ruthers-Tenn and the two boys games.RU-Tenn is a 12.00 start.

Tenn - over Rutgers ***
RU is 3-11 vs Tenn,0-4 on neutral courts and 4-11 over all on neutral courts.That doesn't hold to much with me this yr but that scares you a little.
RU is the BE conf champ but was upset by WV 56-40 in the BE tourney. Then in its 1st round game vs Dartmouth they struggled with there offense vs the zone.Plus RU's plays a complex defenses and Dart had no problem attacking it and scoring.Against TCU Ru dominated.
Pointdexter is there stud,1st team ALL everything,POY of BE etc.
Tenn has 6'4 Parker who had those 2 dunks vs Army.She is there top player with a front line of Flucker and Anoskie who are 6'5 and 6'4.This will be RU's problem I think.Tenn inside vs RU's gds.Tenn has a strong inside game.Zolman and Spencer plus Hornbuckle who was lost for most of the season is back at the gds.
RU has a small fast team.Point is 5'9,Ajavon 5'8,Carson is 6'0.These 3 gds are quick with carson a def.wiz.Vuaghn a frosh is the center and campbell a 6'2 fd.But these 2 avg a combined 14 pts.compared to Tenn's frontline of 35 pts a game.
Think Tenn is the better team and should pound the ball inside.Stop Pointdexter who is 40% of RU's off.Like Tenn to win this by 6-10 pts..

Conn - over Georgia *
Gino is playing almost at home.Strother and Turner are tough to stop vs a Georgia team that plays poor defense.Huskies are not the same as in the past but they do play defense.Trouble is they win ugly.Hopefully not to ugly today.

NC- Purdue * 1/2
Love Latta.NC is 31-1 and will win it all.Line is a little high so this is not a real play.They have some team.They will win NCAA's..

Florida plus over Nova *
to hard to capp.Spent so much time on this game.Florida is quick and athletic and that might slow down the Nova 4. But again no one has stopped them.Should pass on this game but can't.Very small play.Nova could easily win this game.And so can the Gators.

Conn - over G.Mason *
same as the above game.If Conn and Mason bought there "A" games to the gym Conn wins this by 15.Trouble is UConns players don't "gel" together.It's a team of HS all amercians trying to play together.GM are the blue collar kids who don't have anywhere near the talent but play together as a team.small play with Huskies waking up and putting it together.
