Duq Dukies -5.5 over Canisius ******
Dukies have won 2 games St Fran and Loy M and lost to Penn St by 8...
Griffs lost to Kentucky 93-69 which was expected and lost a close one to Clev St by 3....Griffs have almost everyone back from lyr with Witherspoon as their new coach...Reggie type of players are athletic,quick,etc...he doesn't have that yet so his style has to be approached differently with this current team...Crumpton has been scoring.Robertson also. Valenti seems like he's been there for years...I swear I feel like I've written about him for the past 5 years....Dukies had 2 guys that shot 3's all last year...probably to many..both are gone...but they bring in a stud Smith a 6'2 transfer from Neb...also another 6'2 kid from Butler Castro....he had 26 pts the other nite....they also have a smaller air craft carrier 6'11 250 pound Lewis started the past 2 years....he had 44 blocked shots lyr and has 6 this year..clse to setting soe Dukie records....but tonite think Blackman who only is avg 5 points plays a lot..He is a transfer from Niagara who is a " Griff Killer"...last year vs Canisius he scored 26 and 27 pts for the Purple...he was one of Niagara's leading scorers last year....and they have added 2 pretty decent freshman 6'8 Mike who is their 2nd leading scorer avg 10 pts a 4 bds...think with Smith and Castro at the gds and throw in Blackman tonite Griffs are going to have a tough time matching up...inside Griffs will have trouble with 6'11 Lewis....see little dukies winning this by double digits..

last night
3-3 +2*'s
Rutgers won outright ... back later for a few more....strong play on Dukies

Ark -12 over UTA **
UTA has played everywhere this past week on the road...they are talented and one of my favorite teams but think the Hogs at home in the last 10 minutes put them away...

Johnnies +7 over Minny **
Minny playing good...but Johnnies have LoVett at the point and he will be an impact player down the road...love this kid....

Monmouth +13 over Cuse **
Shame on me for not taking the Hawks the other night...they either beat up the big boys or cover...Justin will attack Boe's 2-3...and keep this close...its at the dome but Hawks aren't intimidated one bit..this game is like the "super bowl" to them...

Hoftra -2.5 over Manhattan ****
Pride lost Green and Tankly...but still have 6'10 Gustys who was 2nd in the nation in rebounding and a few more top stats...they still have Bernardi the outside shooter too..but they got a juco kid Greer who at 6'6 does it all...can shoot,rebound,etc...Milalich coached against Manhattan for years when he was at Niagara...knows them well...even though he lost 2 superstars he has some red shirt frosh,transfers and juco's to be a top team in the conf...MC lost its superstar in Richards...it has 3 pts gds that are all 5'9..Masielli recruits well in the NYC area and has a few solid players...but their inside game is weak where the Pride strength is...close game..but think Gustys has no one to stop him inside...

GL elmer too..think Dukies win

Kansas -22 over Siena **
 
Bet on MyBookie
