Loy Maryland -12 over Iona ****** strong play
Loy is 2-1 in MAAC knocking off pre-season fav the other nite 77-69.Greyhounds led by 18 at one pt.Never trailed.I hate using revenge games but today will be one.Pastos has done a great job since leaving the Terps .In 2 yrs they won 6 and lyr 15.He has the best player in the MAAC[Jordan fans will argue at marist] brown the 6'4 gd from providence is an impact player.He dominates and can take over a game. he shoots the 3,the mid range and can slash to the hoop.Sullivan the other gd can stick the 3,and harvey another player from my area is at the point one of the best looking froah in the MAAC.Tuck and Alujevic are both 6'7 fds and Fofana who at 6'10 has been somewhat of a disappointment still contributes.But what has made the grey better is the addition of Isreal who just became elgible.he's 6'8 can shoot and rebound but more importanly plays great defense.Loy starts 3 gds now with harveys addition. pastos has a lot of depth.
There is bad blood between Ruland and Pastos.Iona has dominated this series. They have won 20-21.have run up the score in the past..showboating,etc.
Iona is 0-12.have no gds that can score.frontline is there only scorers and they are avg. Sringer there best player is out abd camper there 2nd best player is out another 6 weks.Ruland today will start 3 freshman.Rodriquez,Hassett and Prodanicovic.Prod can shoot the 3 but is 2-21 in last couple of games.
Iona can't score,can't shoot FT's. There am amazing 50% from the line.marshall is 6'8 and a shot blocker but not a scorer.
Greyhounds at home today will dominate and pay back the Gaels.The torch has been passed.Iona dominated the MAAC. from one of the most explosive teams to a total rebuilding one.Ruland is also the worst coach. No discipline..had half his team a few years ago equal to miami football players. he cleaned that up. also he has 4 top recriuts coming in. So Iona will be back. But not this afternoon in Reitz.
greyhounds win by 20 and brown scores 25-30.

will be back later for a few more. should just play this game..but

good luck really thought hard about this game. Liked Loyola. Though line should be about 9. Books must be getting no money l on IONA. Don't know if it will cover but bookies are definitely afraid of a Loyola cover. Would not be surprised if 90% of all bets are on Loyola. Good luck hopefully they didn't push line up a little to high but still like the play.

Penn St +8.5 over Purdue *
Notre Dame +4 over Georgetown **
Fordham -1.5 over Richmond **
Rice +4.5 over Princeton *
Georgia St +2 over Towson *
UNLV +7 over Air force *
West Vir -12 over Johnnies *** think the 1-3-1 zone will cause problems.
Smoo -14 over Brown *** will come back and explain

Love Loy Md...still. Dropped to -11..no matter.
Billy..I had it at -13 or 14.but then i add a rare revenge factor and that ups it a pt or 2.
Iona defense will have a hard time stopping Brown.

Sorry about Loy md.just got back so do not know what happened.saw that it was close in 1st half. also 2 players that who do not play a lot got 10 minuts each and the walk on played a minute or 2.not sure if it was a backdoor cover..lost anyway so it does not make a difference.Billy you were right..

Manhattan -3 over Fairfield ** Stags are not very good but either are the jaspers.think at home the green can win this and cover.

WV -11 over Johnnies ...WV has such a great system.They held Nova to shooting 19-58,caused 16 turnovers. Young will not hit 8 from beyond the arc but...
Hofstra 13 over Delaware *
Smoo -14 over brown * Smoo has frontline of 6'8,6'11 and 7'1.Think
providence -7 over hall **

box,

bad beat on loy md; I had loy md plus under 129. Score was 59-44 with 3:50 left; 66-44 with 3 minutes left; 68-51 with 2 min left and for some reason Iona starting fouling and making shots. they scored 44 points the first 16 minutes and over 20 last 4 minutes. also they had a 7 point play (2 T's for 4 foul shots and a three) in one trip down floor.
