Well Cuse lost yest for me.Sorry.Coleman went off and killed their zone.
Rider did win and handed Marist a big loss.Watched the game on TV.Marist couldn't stop anyone in the post.

UL Lafayette -6 over North Texas
Cajuns have won 3 in a row.Are on top of Sun Belt Conf.Lyr they came to Denton with a 7 game winning streak and NT upset them 78-59.This yr NT is on a losing streak.Since losing there pt gd they are having trouble.Davis is on and off.Last game vs So Bama he had 29 pts.He leads NT in almost every catogory.
La-Laf plays 3 gds and all are quick.Boyd is there big scorer.Anthony Johnson is one of the top fowards in the conf and 6'10 Southall can score and play defense.Williams and Cameron score 8 and 6 pts off the bench.
Other then Davis NT has J.Green at the fd spot who scores 12 a game.Degrate the 6'7 juco transfer has really helped on offense.But NT cannot play defense or rebound.Also there post defense is terrible.Any good post players have career nites vs NT.Romero of NO had 29.Southall will be very tough to stop.
Cajuns also press and cause turnovers.NT has no real pt gd.Masters there center takes up space.
Cajuns are quicker,shoot better,pressure the ball better and have 3 guys that can score.NT has one person who can create his own shot.Like the Cajuns to win by 8-10 pts.

Fairfield -4 over Siena
Last week the Stags were down by 17 to Siena.But pressure defense and turnovers changed the game.Fairfield won 80-71.Stags just hounded Mitchell and Karawanga with full court pressure with there little gds.Stag frontline is huge.Deng,Gai,Garcia,Thompson,etcThese are the 2 best rebounding teams in the MAAC.Haddix is the 6'6 frosh that will bang with the big boys.I think this game will be close.Siena is a little bit quicker overall but Fairfield has so much depth and size.
Stags win this by 6-8 pts.Only recent loss was to a better Manhattan team.Siena's last loss was to Fairfield.Gai can dominate a game on both ends of the court.

Also for small plays..New orleans -4.5 over Ark St-to much Romero

E.Washington -2.5 over Idaho-to much balanced scoring and is 11-5 ranked 7th ats in the country.

Oregon -1 over UCLA
Butler -14.5 over Duke

Watched the hi-lites of Seton hall-Georgetown
Loved that out of bounds play at the end of the game.Barrett sets the pick for a slam jam with 6.4 seconds on the clock to tie.Orr the fool has a 1-4-1 off. set up.GT has never seen this out of bounds play.Hall scores to tie and GT runs the ball up the floor with 1 second left.
Hall is now in a 1-4-1 zone trap.But GT drives to the hoop and scores a running jump shot to tie. OT
No one noticed the Seton hall had 6 players on the court both on offense and defense.Orr subbed but forgot to tell someone he was out.Esherick who has been all over BE officials never notices he is playing against 6 guys.The 3 refs are in la-la land.And of course in OT Hall scores 10 str. pts to win 93-82.
If Esherick yells out after the out of bounds play to a ref"there are 6 people out there".they award GT with a tech and 2 FT's.
Gotta love it.It was Halls 1st road win since Feb 9th of lyr.
I would of played a box and 5 on GT with 4 seconds left.Oh well....

Box,


Glad to see that were on so many of the same sides tonight. My Cajuns and Fairfield are 2 of my bigger plays tonight so sure glad to see ya on em aswell. Think the Cajuns should win this one by double digits as they should just outclass NT and still waiting on AJ to have that breakout game and get his all around game going. But Cajuns have the advantage in the paint and should give NT trouble with all the ball pressure aswell. Also played E. Wash but played it small as i just don't think that line looks quite right as i had them as a 4-5 pt fav so played it small. As always Good Luck man :D
