Manhattan +7 over Iona *
over 144 **
Iona is already 3 or 4 seed in Tourney...do thy want to Canisus or Rider..that could depend on tonite outcome..not sure who they want to play so that play into tonites performance...do you rest people,etc// Iona already blew MC out in the Bronx 78-65...Iona has the no 20 offense in the country avg 83 pts a game...MC off ranks in the 260's..but MC plays better defense .. This is a tough game because Iona has dominated this series for awhile.MC and Iona are both so inconsistent...MC has 5 decent starters with Williams who can score..Waterman has played Iona for 4 seasons..think he has played them 7 or 8 times and has done well...Paulicup has played great for MC esp on the bds...Iona is all over the place.. McGill is the best player out there...Crawford is tough. TKE inside is there top rebounder...Cashmir and Much are tough to figure out.. Cashmeir scores 25 and the next nite 2..same with Much who is playing tonite but could be suspended any moment.. Griffin is the stud.. In his last games he has become theirbest player...2 weeks ago when they were on TV he was a force...he only avgs 10 pts but in last few games...17,12,23,3,10,20 and 21...Cluess puts him in on offense at the elbow and free throw line..he can penetrate at 6'7 and 240..that scares me tonite..
I like the over 144 more then the line ..
Marist +9.5 over Niagara *
Under 165 ***
Think Scott is still out..Purple have lost last 2 games with him being out...top scorer hit 47's 3's,good rebounder and defender...Purple still has Dukes though....this game has the top 20 scoring team in the country vs the bottom 20 defense in the country..Foxes are 2-9 in last 11 conf games but have covered in a lot of those rd games...last time they played the score was 86-70...Scott had 26 pts and 15 rebounds..both teams shot 6-23 and 6-19 from the 3...Parker had 21 pts for the Foxes...a lean with Foxes although they could be blown out big...Now if Scott is back all plays are off...Niagara covers and probably will go over...
Quinn -1 over Peter **
I thought the line would be Peter +3...Peter has no offense..scoring,FG%,3pt %,etc rank in the 300's...Griffin is the only player who can score..but in their 1st matchup vs Quinn they won 84-58....this is not a typo...Peter scored a season high 84 pts..more then the pre-season scrimmage vs Jersey City HS...4 of their starters had season highs..but that was on Jan 7th... Peter took that win and then lost 10 of the next 11... Quinn does have Young an outstanding gd...Kelly is tough also...Daniels who I have been talking about for 2 yrs was a stud...until I saw him last week on TV..at 6'9 a pre-season 1st team all MAAC has gained about 50-60 pounds ...they say Bamba here in Texas has a 71 inch wing span...I think Daniels butt is over 71 inches...anyway Peter plays great defense..but think home court gives them the edge..if you follow ats trends pass on this game...Peter is 0-5 ats in last 5 and Quinn is 4-10 ats
URI -10.5 over Dayton **
URI lost to Bonnies,then struggled vs LaSalle but are at home.. Flyers on the rd are avg...its wake up time tonite...not sure how Flyers can defend 3 pt gds and Rams can play lock you down defense...
Indy +2.5 over Ohio St **
NKU -4.4 over Ill Chi **
They beat them 85-51 at home...will give Chi 27 home points and Norsemen still cover..
yest
4-5 -2*'s
Not sure what happened in the Rider game
Scott and Marshall played only 13 and 14 minutes...Vaughan sat out 15 minutes..only Jordan played 35....
Wish I was at the Ga St-Tex St game...Panthers blew them away...think Texas only scored 50 pts...
Buckwheat...thanks for letting me know it was Dr J's birthday...my son and wife were the only ones that knew who he was....so was impressed I knew that
