Canisius -2 over Marist **
Tough game...Foxes have won 4 in a row since starting Hart at the pt..Lewis is scoring,Kemp is rebounding...they have no depth what so ever..starting 5 are playing well and Thomas off the bench has scored i last 2 games but after that its zero..anyone gets into foul trouble the Foxes are hurt'in...Griffs are coming off a tough win at St Peters the other nite..maybe that woke them up..Baron is the best player in the conf and transfer Perez can score..Heath at 6'10 creates a big matchup problem for Kemp...Manhertz inside can control the bds...Foxes are good and Griffs defense isn't anything to write home about...but small crowd in Poughkeepsie tonite....Griffs have owned the Foxes in the past 5 or 6 yrs but Griffs have lost last 2 of 3 here...Baron is the stud and that will be enough to keep Canisius 5-0 in the MAAC...
Quinn -3 over Iona **
Iona is a scoring machine.. The UNLV of the east...they rank in the top 20 in scoring,FG%,4th in 3 pt....but almost last in rebounding,FT%...and almost dead last in defense,defensive rebounding,FG%,etc..they played Niagara the other nite who is 4-11 and last in the MAAC...they let Purple score 92 pts...Iona scored 118...in last 5 Iona games they have let other teams score,92,90,80,96, and 102....they have played a tougher schedule then Quinn but the Bobcats are ranked No 2 in the country in rebounding..Aztom has dominated the league avg 17 pts and 10 bds..Drame is 6'9 avg 12 pts 8 bds...think Iona will have trouble defending the paint...last yr in a tourney Quinn beat Iona in OT 98-92..it was one of the highest pts Quinn scored all yr...and Iona had Lamont Jones their superstar score 40 pts.....and Quinn has 3 of its starters back as does Iona...but w/o Lamont...small play because Iona has so much talent they could beat anybody on any given nite if they decided to play some D....really disappointed in Cluess,Iona's coach....really thought he would be a good college coach...but he hasn't taught them anything about defense..that is a shame..
WV -1 over TTech *
Maryland +9 over Pitt *
All small plays...
Lowell..Canisius was blowing away Peter the other nite..Peter came back and got a push...some got the game at -3.5 but I got the push at -4..hopefully Griffs don't let that happen again.
thanks Oakas..
Jinxbraker..didn't play yesterday..but did like Nova over Prov..
NJ Sammy...just got a call from my best friend....who watches my house...my down stairs bathroom sink froze over...i leave it dripping but the drain pipe froze so 3/4 of the sink is ice...he upped the heat to 70 degrees today because tonite you guys are expecting some minus degrees..I deserve this... I went on facebook the other day eating an ice cream cone outside in 66 degrees weather here in Austin...with the caption " its so hot down here"....got about 40 responses from all you NY and NJ people ...it was -5 the other nite...wind chill -15....I was laughing until a few minutes ago when I got the frozen pipe call....the gods are paying me back...
