North Texas -1 over Mid Tenn **
over 145 ***
Could write a book on North Texas.They on any given night can beat anybody if they all brought there 'A" game.But they can't...Jones plays 7 or 8 guys for over 20 minutes.They have 6 players that have scored over 20 pts in a game.They have the best FT shooter in the country in pt gd White who a few weeks ago lite up MT.He hasn't missed a FT since Jan 10th.In fact NT is ranked No 1 or 2 in the country in made FT attemps.They shoot 72%.But that negates the low number in assits,etc.NT defense is horrible ranking 314th.But that is there style on offense.Odufuwa,Tramiel and McCoy have been playing good.McCoy had 26 and 29 pts in last 3 games.But the one between those games he scores 2.NT beat FAU the other day and shot 4-16 from the 3.They will shoot the 3 from anywhere...and when there hot they stick them...NT has played well these past 3 weeks where MT has lost 6 of last 8 games.NT beat them on there court 98-78 2 weeks ago.Yates is there big stud and Kanaskie was susposed to have a big year and he didn't.
If NT wins today they will get there 20th win.Think this team is so explosive with so many players that 3 bring there "a" game and that will be enough.But playing the mean green is like rolling dice.Every coach in the sun conf is in fear of them...like the over a lot..NT will score 80-85 pts today and there is no way NT defense shuts down MT..85-75...
Siena -12 over Fairfield ****
Saints let Canisius stay with them in the 1st half then blew them away in the 2nd.See the same scenario today.Stags played tough and Nero played well.But saints frontline is a lot different then the Manhattans.Hasbrouck and Moore are 2 solid gds that should really take it to the stags.Nero is there best scorer,passer,rebounder,defender and has the highest IQ.He is not 100%...beside his back they think he's playing with mono...w/o him cannot see Fairfield staying with Saints..
Niagara -7 over Rider ****
Broncos finally woke up but struggled with Peter.I think tonite they get a spanking from the Purple.Nu is quicker,more athletic and in transition will be tough to stop.Thompson had a big game yest.driving down the middle,shooting inside and outside...but he won't get those looks today...The Big E should dominate the bds likehe did yesterday.Also when you have 4 gds like Lewis,Nelson,Garrison and Benn attacking you it causes matchup problems.
Taking both favorites for a rematch tomr nite..The only thing that could occur is that both teams could be looking ahead and forget todays game..
On a personal note...this will be my last post for awhile.....my mother who is 89 is being operated on at Columbia Presb Hos in NYC tomr morning.She has a tumor wrapped around her colon,liver and gall bladder.The doctors think they can get it all out but she has weakend so much these past few weeks....my mother never aged..she went from 75 to 90 in 6 months...
I'll keep you all posted...say a prayer...hopefully she will get through this...
