Marist -5 over Bonnies **
Foxes are coming off a tough loss to Rutgers despite having 16 shots blocked.Foxes penetrated,attacked,outhustled and played better defense..they were down 57-56 with 2 minutes to play...Williams who sat the bench lyr is there only inside presence played great.there gds are solid in Goodwin and Devezin.Foxes at home always play tough at McCann..but this is not a good team...Bonnies are worse..They won 8 games lyr but Juco stud Hall had a big opening game.Bonnies have some size but Foxes are coached better,play defense and are at home..Foxes win by 10
Siena -12.5 over Boise St ****
Like the saints tonite..This team was on such a roll lyr winning the MAAC title,winning the Tourney,then knocking off vandy in the 1st rd of the NCAA's.And what makes it better is everyone is back...Lyr Siena flew out to Idaho and blew Boise out of there own gym 93-70.Boise 3 top scorers graduated..The best player in the MAAC is Hasbrouck.Vandy held him to 30 pts.He is a force and with Moore a solid pt gd they make this motion offense tough to defend.Franklin is a scorer and he had 30 lyr at Boise.Rossiter the skinny 6'9 shooter gained some weight.But the 2nd best player in the MAAC is 6'9 Ubiles who can shoot,drive and run the floor.He is a tough person to match up against.Duell the 6'8 fd is slowed by injury and might play a little.Jackson comes of the bench for his 3 pt shots. he hit 30 pts in a scrimmage a few weeks ago. Boise best player is a pt gd but he has to go against some fast Siena gds.Boise has no post defense,a whole bunch of new players and a cross atlantic flight.Siena's only problem could be over confidence..they got 7 votes in the top 20 and if they read about themselves to much there heads might swell. I think tonite they come out smoking...
Cornell-Johnnies....I loved the Big Red because Johnnies are not a good team..but Reds top two players are out...going to pass..
North Texas +13.5 over Ok St *
Lyr NT upset the Cowboys by 9.NT has a lot of athletes and can score but again this team has no concept of what team play is.They run and gun,play no defense and are all selfish...but are dangerous on any given night.OSU has solid gd in Eaton and some inside players.Small play because its early in the season and just maybe the mean green might realize that if they pass,screen,move w/o the ball,rebound and play a liitle of defense they might be good.Dennis is probaly one of the best shooters in the southwest but if he misses his 1st 4 from the 3 he'll shoot another 10 times..
