Marist-Siena
Loy Md - Niagara
so far no lines yet so will come back.
Siena was lucky to survive Manhattan. A foul at the end was called on Austin and it was a clean block.Saints hit the Ft's and that was the game.Saints did not look good.Meanwhile Marist ran a clinic over Canisius.Brady pounded the ball in the paint and let Bejamin get a lot of playing time.The 6'8 sub scored 16 pts and 13 bds.He can post up with his back to the basket.Smith who is 7'0 scored 15 pts and Stilphen at 6'8 had 13 pts.Thats some front line when there all playing together.Marist looked great and they didn't even shoot well..
Loy Md and Fairfield battled it out.Close game until the end.Brown looked great but I think Loy is in trouble today vs Niagara. Purple looked tough beating up Rider..
Think its Marist-Niagara for the MAAC title
have no idea what the lines are.Marist beat saints twice in OT.I liked Siena to win it all but after yesterday brady will pound the ball inside the paint all day.saints need to protect that..then Foxes kick out to whittington...and lets not forget the best gd in the MAAC in Jordan...back later
Louisville -14.5 over Seton hall ***
Cards have beat up Johnnies,So Fl,and Prov at home by 24,20 and 15. hall is on that level esp on the rd.Cards need this for 2 seed in BE tourney.Matchups are Halls problems today.Gonzo will press and Cards have Williams,Padget and my favorite player 6'9 275 pound Caracter. Hall has no one to stop those guys inside.Cards should dominate the bds on both ends.Cards do play good defense and avg 71 pts a game.Hall scoring is better but there defense gives up over 70 pts.One of halls biggest problems is teams FG% against them is 46%.That ranks around 285th in the nation.The reason is simple.Boggy G presses,traps but gives teams open shots everywhere.Hall also has no rebounder sand trying to stop Padget and Cart..will be a problem
Prov -1 over Johnnies **
Prov is 10-0 vs Johnnies.Prov needs this to even have a chance of going dancing. Lose this and pray for the BE tourney.Johnnies think if they win this they have a shot at the NIT. Todays win gives them a .500 season.I like Hill,Curry and Efe. Prov beat them by 5 at home.Think they do the same today.Prov outrebounded Johnnies in 1st game 39-24..
Ga Tech -7 over BC *
Akron +2.5 over Kent St *
Ohio -3.5 over Buffalo **** strong play
Think Ohio with those 6'6's Tillman,Troutman and Williams are to much for the Bulls to stop.Ohio can score and beat Buf way back 67-51.Buf has Heebee at 6'10 but not enough around him.Buf can't shoot,Fg% and 3 pt % is ranked in the 300's.They do rebound well but there defense is bad to
hio should win this by 8-10 pts.
So bama -3.5 over MT ****
Jags were on a roll then lost 2 in a row.Bad timing after peaking. MT can't rebound,avg just 62 pts a game,and a terible rebounding team. Jags are quicker have some good scorers and in last outing vs MT won 61-38.MT did beat So bama by 8 on the rd. Jags went to houston and did a job on them.Jags have the 2nd best def in the Sun..
North Texas -4 over UL Monroe **
Finally going with my boys from Denton.NT has the best overall talent in the Sun Conf but only 1 player made all conf. And that was 3rd team.Athletic,quick,has size,can shoot,etc. NT avg 78 pts a game-26th in the country.Shoots 48% and is one of the top rebounding teams.Of course the flip side of that is..they can't play defense..give up 72 pts a game and give teams open looks all the time.The good news today is UL also can't play defense...and can't shoot[42% FG] Also UL was 10-0 at home and 4-10 on the rd.UL beat NT at home by 4,scored 5 less FG's but won because they went to the Ft line 18-24.NT has the talent to beat this team by double digits. But again they are so poorly coached,with no discipline they just shoot from all over.Just maybe the coaching staff tries to impress on these guys if they play together,share the ball,they have the talent to go dancing...
Did well in the MAAC but lost with Memphis-Smoo. Memphis is lucky to have won let alone cover..shot an airball on that play..sorry..
