    good morning box and one

    doesn't iona smoke canisius today on aj english's senior day? they blew them out @ the hynes center 3 weeks ago and, from what I see, canisius hasn't covered as a conference dog this season. and I see where they've had some travel delay flying into nyc from upstate on jet blue (imagine that)...

    socon sunday

    western Carolina and vmi come through yesterday; today brings the last socon regular season game with mercer visiting the unc-g Spartans. anyone who's been reading my socon write-ups knows the adversity the mercer bears have faced this month so I won't repeat it here. they've now lost the last...

    socon saturday

    I'm cautiously optimistic about today's socon card. some of the games look too good to be true, but I see no serious red flags in the lines or the action so I'm forging ahead. furman @ western carolina: furman's historical road woes have returned this season. paladins currently stand 2-6 s/u on...

    socon thursday

    rough day for my plays yesterday as Tulane plays dead for ecu and the wolfpack fizzles out once again. only my pack can turn a 12 point lead into a 7 point deficit in about 6 minutes. but I digress, on to tonight's socon games. Wofford @ western Carolina: this game appears to offer the most...

    unc @ ncsu

    okay, okay . . . a casual glance at my avatar will tell you where my loyalties lie tonight but I would feel remiss if I didn't offer something up about this game. I will say this - I don't think this is a high quality unc team by their standards. that is to say, I don't see them in the sweet 16...

    ecu @ tulane

    do't look now, but it appears that the pirates are done for the year. they last won (twice) the last week of January. since then, they've lost 6 in a row. they're 2-11 on the road, 2-12 in the aac, the two wins being those mentioned above. leading scorer bj tyson (14.6 ppg) has scored 23 total...

    rhode island @ davidson

    Davidson is a classic bubble team, floating around the middle of the atlantic 10 conference with a respectable 16-9 record, but no real statement wins that would help them with the committee. they do feature one of the country's premier players in jack gibbs, who currently sits around 2nd or 3rd...

    iona @ sienna

    yesterday featured what considered a really sharp play on the under in the northeastern/hofstra game, along with probably my worst play of the hoops season, boston college +8. the eagles produced one of the ugliest halves of major college basketball that i have had the misfortune to bet on and...

    northeastern @ hofstra

    northeastern @ Hofstra: started looking at this game thinking to side with the pride, but then I got distracted by the 149 total. last game was set @ 152. Hofstra won 96-92 but that game went 3 ot's, regulation ended 65-65. Hofstra is still in the mix for the conference regular season title so...

    bc @ wake

    help me out madjackers. wake is giving 8 today to the eagles, less than 48 hours after danny manning announces that 6'7" soph swingman Cornelius Hudson has been dismissed from the team and 6'9" center devon Thomas has been suspended for two games, for the old catchall "violation of team rules."...

    socon saturday

    etsu @ mercer: what a difference a few weeks make. back on 1/24, mercer dropped a 2 pt decision to etsu in Johnson city as a 2- pt dog in a battle between league contenders. 4 weeks later, mercer has lost 4 in a row s/u and ats after the shooting death of one teammate and the suspension of two...

    monday ncaa hoops

    ncsu @ va - hard to imagine the cavs not being a little hung over after having a win @ duke stolen from them by a traveling grayson allen with about .2 seconds to play. state's getting a little better offensively, cat barber's from Newport news and was snubbed by uva, and the wolfpack is 4-1-1...

    socon saturday

    its the apex of the socon conference season when home court advantage is at its greatest. let's see if we can take advantage of the edges the linemakers are giving us. as a backround, there are 5 socon teams competing for 4 tournament bye spots - utc, etsu, furman, Wofford and mercer. utc is in...

    dayton @ rhode island

    rhode isl +2: a little out of my wheelhouse but I follow the a10, especially Dayton, as I covet their coach for my wolfpack; might happen if Gottfried manages to lose out the rest of his acc games this year. anyway, dayton's on a roll but the flyers haven't won in Kingston since 2005. also, they...

    mercer @ wofford

    Wofford -2-: posted a mercer/mercer under parlay on Monday that would have hit had the game ended in regulation; unfortunately the game went to overtime and I screwed the pooch. i'm going to try to capitalize on that loss and play the terriers tonight. as previously posted, the bears lost a...

    citadel @ furman

    furman -12-; maybe I'm playing into a sucker line but I like the paladins (love that nickname) to even up against the bulldogs tonight. furman lost to the citadel jan. 16th as 7- point favorites, so should be motivated. paladins currently stand 9-4 s/u and ats in the socon, 3-0 ats in February...

    ut-chat @ mercer

    one unit parlay mercer +2-/under133- : just throwing a unit on this parlay because of the situation. utc is playing their fifth game in 10 days, and has two more conference road games in the next 5 days. its a sadistic feature of the southern conference schedule this time of year. last time the...

    citadel @ utc

    citadel +18 : this should be a dogfight or a bloodbath; i'll pick dogfight. from the chattanooga morning paper: One of Matt McCall's biggest accomplishments in his first season as the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's basketball coach has been to create a family atmosphere, from...
