haddix is back & hc lanier has repeatedly stated he wouldn't let him play unless he was 100% so we can assume he's healed, but what kind of shape is he in?...hasn't played last 5 games & w/ a leg injury you can bet he wasn't keeping busy doing wind sprints...mitchell is a strong & steady competitor to help out against deng gai, but gai is a dominant figure in most games & should own the glass here in addition to maintaining his blocked shot avg...saints kojo mensah will miss tonite, re-injured...this is 1 of the probs for the saints this year, can't get a cohesive starting 5 due to injuries, walkoffs...
the knock against siena LY was they sleepwalked through part of almost every game, off and/or def...not the case this year, they play 'til the end, which is frequent comment from many of their opponents, so despite their probs they'll come to play tonite...the pepsi arena is hc for saints but they practice elsewhere (on campus) & most visitors enjoy playing here, so i never saw too much of an hca...
all that said, gai is too much & i think the line is short, but only a small play for me...
bigger plays: missi st-3/tenn, iowa st+3.5/kan...
also have a feeling ky-9.5 is gonna take out a little frustration vs a good vandy club, don't think they expected kan to beat them @ rupp w/out simien, but not a play yet...gl, caper
