Shame on me...Did Ok with the boys yesterday but went against my Lady foxes and a great coach. Marist upset Ohio St...B-10 champs..Davenport 6'5 Pl of the yr 3 times in Big 10...etc.. What a game to watch.here I am losing dinero and cheering for the Foxes..something is wrong here...I said yesterday Brian Giorgis is the best college coach and if "he coached ohio St they would of won 31 games instead of 28.I just didn't think his girls could play vs the physical Big 10 team. What a great scouting job he did on OSU.Davenport was 3 teamed...box and one..triangle 2..and 4 teamed...smothered...confused...frustrated...if the refs saw her delibrite elbow to dahman they would of thrown her out of the game...Foxes are small and scrappy but they can shoot and out hustled the big powerful buckeyes.
Talk about a coach being out coached..OSU coach didn't know what hit him. His halftime espn interview was like " a deer in headlights".The MAAC was 0-21 in the NCAA"s. Little David threw a stone into Goliath last nite and goliath still doesn't know what happened...Giorgis had his girls so well prepared and disciplined...it was ' poetry in motion"...and to think I beat him in a few girls AAU tourney..lol He was a great HS coach in Poughkeepsie..won the state title a few times..not liked by my fellow coaches because he recruited girls...but respected by everyone...hope he stays at marist.
Spent mucho time...on these
Tenn -2.5 over Virginia **
Battle of the guards...Tenn cannot press vs Single and co but I like Tenn here.
SIU -1.5 over Vir Tech **
UNLV +5.5 over wisky **
Nevada +5.5 over memphis ***
Florida -12 over Purdue ***** strong play
Winthrop +3.5 over Oregon **
Texas -2 over USC **** strong play
Kansas -8 over Kentucky **** strong play
back for NIT's...
Rutgers -19 over ECU **** strong play
RU is ranked 2nd in the nation in defense...4th in FG% def..beat UConn in BE tourney..won 17 of last 20...In 16 BE games they held 11 teams to there lowest scores of the season... pretty amazing stat...There gds are big led by Ajavan... I love her..she's 5'8 and has lightning speed.Prince is the super frosh and Carson and Vaughan are two great frontline players...Stringer is a great coach...ECU was 9-13 in feb and went on a 10 game winning streak and won the conf tourney.There defense is suspect and offense avg.They have 3 kids that avg around 13 pt a game. not a good outside shooting team..no frontline. RU will have trouble with big frontlines and good 3 pt shooting teams. Lady Pirates have niether....RU defense is sooo good. They held 6 Big east teams to under 16 at half time...ECU will be lucky to score over 40 pts today...Lady Nites win by over 20.. Lady Pirates are just happy to be here.My son drives back this am to ECU....He didn't even go to one girls game..and can't believe they got this far..I have done very well in football and boys hoops playing for or against ECU ....just need one more... to help with the tuition...
back later
