Hudson Valley area.....NY
North Car - over Maryland ***
Terps on the rd lost to Clemson,NC St,Temple,Duke,Miami by12,4,6,24,and 14.NC beat them by 15 in College Park.Same today

Rutgers - over So Fl *
Bulls have played almost everyone close.RU has Douby and he is there whole team.Walters is rumored to be fired.RU needs this game to make the BE 12 tourney.There are 200 different scenarios with 4 teams playing for 11th place.If RU can win today and vs the Johnnies they get in.RU beat the Bulls by 14 a few weeks ago,Today in the RAC I think the same thing happens.Douby the leading scorer in the BE is a one man team.I saw this and its pretty intresting.In RU's last game vs Georgetown if you take out Douby's stats these are Rutgers stats..5-20 FG,2-10 from the 3,9-16 FT,2 assits,and 4 total steals and 21 total pts. Wow...But I'll go with Douby today for a small play.Imagine if he gets hurt or gets into foul trouble..

Conn - over Nova **
Huskies fired up.Nova on he road beat ND by 2,So Fl by 3,Rutgers by 6.Cinncy threw that 1-2-2 zone at them and Wright had big times problems.With Nova shooters playing zone was risky..but..

MAAC...the crazy MAAC.
No one plays defense.They have 4 players in the top 10 in the country in scoring.I'll start out with the championship game..

Iona - over Manhattan ***
Both tied,winner wins conf and a double bye in the Tourney.Automatic semifinals..So this is a big game.Jaspers blew away Iona early on in the season,then Iona went a winning streak.I'll take Iona today.They lead the MAAC in about 6 or 7 catogories.MC is right behind them in some.But Iona shoots better,rebounds better,plays better defense,and has Burtt one of the top scorers in the nation.Throw revenge in here too.And history..lyr MC went to Iona and won and Iona won in the Bronx.The same this yr.Plus Iona is an amazing 13-2 on the rd and 9-4 ats.The only thing that always scares me is Iona's Ruland is the dumbest coach in the conf.Bobby G though is the biggest crybaby and after about 10 minuts the refs are on Iona's side..MC just beat Fairfield by 1 the other nite.Siena beat Iona.MC defense is hurting.Long Beach came in last week and scored 108 pts.Iona has a better offense then LB..

St Peter plus over Rider **
Tough game to capp.Both teams cannot play defense.Peter has lost 3 of 4.Rider almost the same.But Thompson Rider's top scorer and rebounder had a concussion in last game.His status is unknown.If he doesn't play add two more ** to peter.Clark is avg 25 pts agame.Peter can outscore most teams but cannot gd there own shawdows.

Loy Md - over Canisius **
Small play.Collins is a one man team.Griffs have Downey,Herring,Wilson,etc. Do not understand why they are losing so bad.Again neither of these teams play any defense.Tough to capp when there a total breakdowns.Small play..In a hour or so I'll be on the Griff;s side.Should really pass..Loy scored 95 pts in there 1st meeting winning 95-80.same thing today.Loy 103-Can 94

Yest went 9-7 overall with even boxes.Lost Hof and Siena as big plays.Won with BYU and So bama.Pounded Nev late.
If anyone knows status of Thompson in Rider game please post.W/O him Rider is in trouble..

I rarely post, but Iona's coach stinks. If you are scoring from the outside, why do you waste your time trying to get dubois his 4th and 5th???

Any ways, the MAAC is wide open and I really think SIENNA may be the play here. Iona just can't win the big game and the short bench for the jaspers in going to catch up with them...

Peace!

LB,I said it before here many,many,many times.Ruland can't coach.And what make matters worse is that I still play them.Iona should of won that game by 10 pts.But they are so undisciplined,taking shots from all over,rushing the ball,throwing unreal passes into row 3.Iona players have a low basketball IQ.Burtt picking up his 5th foul.Not attacking Dubois,etc,etc,etc.
I can honestly say I don't think I ever had a team like in my 23 yrs of coaching.I hate watching it.Bobby G's is really no better.Puts Dubois back in with 6 minuts in 1st half with 2 fouls.Then Dubois goes out and fouls a 3 pt shooter for his 3rd.
I like Siena also as a sleeper team.But the MAAC has been crazy all year.Canisius will probaly win it.

No way we should have lost IONA..........they blew 8 point lead with 2 minutes to go and get outscored something like 18-6 the rest of the way..........UNREAL
