Canisius -2.5 over Monmouth ******
Griffs have won 13-15..have won 4 str on the rd...on top of the MAAC...they have 2 of the top 5 or 6 players in the conf im Crumpton and Reese...Crumpton is a big 6'6 250 pound kid that can score inside and outside..uses his wide body to his advantage...Reese has to be the most improved player in the MAAC..quick and can score...they both avg 17 and 16...Johnson is a solid pt gd..he was 1st team All MAAC frosh lyr...a month ago they beat Monmouth 94-79. Crump and Reese had 23 and 22 pts and Johnson the pt gd went 3-3 from the 3,...Tighman had 18 points...have to update his status..also Seaborn didn't play in that game...Hawks have won 2 of last 3...but think there defense will be in trouble trying to stop the Griffs...I do owe an apology to Reggie Witherspoon..He coached at a juco in Buffalo..recruited one of my players big time... watched his team play with my player...thought he was a terrible coach...recruited great athletes...had winning seasons , all run and gun teams..they he gets the Buffalo job...same thing..recruits big time and has some studs..but as years go by gets fired...then 2 yrs ago I hear he is replacing Jim Baron ..talk about opposites...bad move....all run and gun,no defense,etc ..but I was wrong..last yr Reggie had a decent year..and this year he might win the MAAC..his teams still play uptempo and his defense is better...if I had time I would tell you what happened to my player.. a 6'5 outside shooter...one of the best in NY state..he actually went to Monroe CC in Buffalo thru Reggie...what happens after could make 20/20...one of these days remind me and I will tell...anyway love the Griffs today
Ga St -1 over Ga So ****
Gst had won 10 in a row until OT upset vs UL Monore...Panthers can score...Simmonds might win POY in the conf...they can shoot the 3 hitting 239 3's...Mitchell won POweek 2 weeks ago and Simmonds the week before...they beat Ga So 83-66 a month ago...they can score and are a good defensive team...ga So just got beat by Laf 102-91 the other day.. GaSt blew Laf out...
Niagara +5 over Iona ***
Who knows with Iona..they are 10-5 looking good and then lose to the 2nd worst team in the MAAC Siena in OT..both teams can score.. but Purple have better scorers.. Scott and Dukes are just torching everyone...they have won 3 in a row...have scored 90 pts in last 4 or 5 games..Dukes and Scott avg 21 and 19 pts...only Peter stopped them.. Iona defense is bad but so is Purples...you have 2 uptempo teams that are not good defensive teams..a month ago Iona beat Niag 98-93 in OT...this is a "fasten your seat built" game..will look at the over..think Purple can hang around with Iona and possibly beat them...
Buffalo -14 over B. Green *
Love the Bulls..5 guys that can score...best team in the MAC..but BG can score but are bad on the rd...a small lean towards Bulls...small,small play
URI -2 over Bonnies **
Should be a great game...URI can score,pass,rebound,play defense,etc...have so much depth that when EC Math went down they didn't miss a beat...but watched him get carried off the court the other night..not sure of his status...Bonnies have Adams and Mosbley...at home...what an atmosphere but will still lean with the Rams...Lets say Rams offense is just a little bit better but on the rd even..URI defense is better on the road,outside the gym etc...lean towards URI even w/o EC..he might playthough
Yest 6-6 -3*'s
don't forgot vig disclaimer..will work on that in the off season
Like Canisius big then Ga St
UTA lost the cover again...damn...down,up,down,up,down,down,down....at what pt do I learn... I don't care who they play next I playing them...
Seaborn is listed doubtful and Tighman ??? with a shoulder injury..wow if there both out think Griffs win even bigger
