Ohio -7.5 over Rhode Island ****
Ohio can score and shoot the 3.They are leading MAC conf or almost in, FT%,3Pt shooting,and scoring.almost 80 pts a game.Troutman is a 6'6 scoring fd that plays the pt foward.He leads the team in assits.Tillman is 6'6 and 250lb avg 15 pts and 8 bds.Williams is 6'8 and avgs 13 pts and 7 bds.The inside game of the Bobcats will cause matchup problems with URI.Ohio also can shoot the 3 with Watcher who is 16-34.King comes off the bench and can hit.Chatman the pt gd is a role player.Also Van Kempman the dutch kid is 6'9 and 250 and getting more playing time.Marist opened up with Ohio and got destroyed by 16.Brady said "that was one tough team esp inside".
URI has been at home in the Ocean state.I love Baron as a coach but in order to recruit at URI he has changed his style of coaching. It's not the half court game he used at St Bonnie.He's playing uptempo,fast break. The new nickname of URI is the "running rams".His son and Bitee play the gds and both can stick the 3.Daniels a 6'8 kid from my area is there leading scorer at 17 pts.Seawright has played great avg 12 pts and 9 bds.But the problem with barons new style is there Defense.Teams are scoring on them.Houston,Prov,BU,DePaul,all pretty good teams have been scoring in the 80's,90's and 100's.URI can shoot the 3 and are 6th in the nation.But they have been shooting those 3's in Kingston RI.Think on the rd at Ohio they cool down a little.Ohio is also 14-0 at home in non conf games.Lyr Ohio beat RI by 10 on the rd.Think URI defense will have a hard time stopping Troutman and keeping Tillman and co off the bds.A double digit win at home for the bobcats..
Cincinati -5.5 over Miami O **
Rebounding edge gives Kats the advantage.Williams the juco transfer is on fire.Avg 17 pts and 12 bds in last week. But Deonata Vaughn the frosh has scored 24 and 25 in last 2 vs NC St and XU.He is BE's top frosh scorer.Both teams can't shoot the 3 or FT's.Miami fds can score but think there weak at gds.kats are more athletic and quicker.One common opp XU.Kats won,M lost.Lyr Cinncy won by 10.Miami offense has struggled.Peavy and Politz can score..With the way Vaughn has been playing he's an impact player and will lead this team..Kats win by 10 also.
