1-1 yesterday and also played a 2nd half bet so 2-1 technically i guess

Play is

Marist -11 PUSH

The Redfoxes have faced stiff competition this season and have really played well. They post a 6-2 overall record and ride a 3 game W streak coming into this matchup at home vrs Canisius. 4 of their 6 wins they have beaten their opp. by 10 or more pts, and the only two that didnt reach that figure was a OT win by 7 @ Richmond. Theyve also posted 2 wins by 16 pts vrs Delaware and Florida Atlantic. Losses include a 1st game loss @ Ohio and a close loss @ Arkansas. The Foxes have some impressive wins under their belt already, and Canisius should be a push over. Although Canisius has kept their games relativley close (only 1 loss by more than 10), I think the Foxes can cover this spread at home. Marist is putting up 75 ppg, outscoring their Opps by an avg of 5.5. They are also shooting .463 from the field which is a little over 30 points better than their opposition. The rebound battle has been pretty much a wash in their games thus far but they will need to control the boards to cover this spread. They are lead by leading scored Jared Jordan whos a senior and puts up 21 per contest. Canisius is only putting up 69ppg but they are turning the ball over 21 TIMES PER GAME. Their high scorer only avgs 13 a game so they have no real 1 player threat. I am going to look for the Foxes to capitalize on the turnovers for easy buckets.

PLAY IS IN AT -11

Play is

Ohio +14.5 WINNER

Ohio is an explosive team and puts up a lot of pts. They also let up their fare share of pts, but I think this one should stay tight. These two havent played since 1964 so theres nothing really to compare on past meetings. Its still early but Ohio has the edge in points scored, scoring margin, FG%, turnover margin, and rebound margin. Bubba Walther will be the key for Ohio and he needs to get hot early to stay in the game. Some interesting trends this year.....Louisville is 0-2 when making 7 or less 3 pt FG in a game, and Ohio is holding their opps to .362% from beyond the arc. Ohio has also seemed to somewhat have Pitinos number as Rick Pitino has won his three previous meetings against Ohio, all while the head coach at Kentucky, but by small margins. 76-73 in his first game at UK (11/28/89), 73-63 in a neutral site game in Cincinnati (12/23/91), and 79-74 in Lexington (11/30/94). I think Ohio can keep the game to single digits so the 14.5 is plenty to cover. IM ON OHIO.


PLAY IS IN AT +14.5

gl airportis. I love watching Marist play. Smith is a 7 foot stud in the middle and Whittington rains 3 balls but my system says they wont cover. (Not bashing) My gut says Marist will cover. Just have to stick to my system. With you all the way on Ohio. Good luck man..

PLAY IS IN AT CAL -19 WINNER


Chicago State just lost 2 days ago by 20+ @ DePaul and they are on the road again @ CAL. I think Cal tears this one wide open.

I'm with you on Loyola. Should have looked at it more. I like the Cal play. Not sure yet if I'm going to play it.
