Monday hoops

[Box and one]

USF -8.5 over NAU **
NAU one of the worst shooting,FG%,3 pt %,and rebounding teams in the country..ranks in the 325's,332's,342"s..and on defense 8th worst ranking in the high 320's...top 6 scorers are all gds..top rebounder Debis is questionable tonite..he avg 4 pts and 5 bds a game..not sure who there athletic dir is but he should be fired...they have played Zona,Zona St,KSU on the road and lost by 35,34 and 22...also lost to Santa Clara by 30..they won 9 games last yr and think the yr before the same...But USF isn't much better...they also rank 335th on offense and haven't played the teams that the Lumberjacks have..there 3 pt scoring is better,they rebound better..there whole team either graduated or transferred...have maybe 2 players back..but they got the FDU kid Jigette and 2 transfers from Penn St that are pretty good...also the 6'10 USC transfer Martin...7'2 Szekic doesn't play a lot but will see some action tonite..Lumberjacks have no front line..Dasilva is 6'7 and the Bulls top front court player...Gregory took this job and has a lot of rebuilding...think BUlls are more athletic,have some decent gds and a big front line vs the Lumberjacks,,,also playing at home..they just beat Bethane Cookman by 20 at home...maybe they got a little confidence at home again..

Boise +9 over Smoo *

Texas -18.5 over Tenn St **
Texas will pressure and with Mamba in the back they can spread it out..still not impressed with this team...so inconsistent from the outside..can't hit FT's...but Shocka needs some big wins before the B-12 starts..Tenn St doesn't have the offense to keep up...

overall
76-60 +56*'s
strong plays 20-10

no strong plays today..

BOX...I KNOW YOU KEEP UP WITH THE MIDS A LOT CLOSER THAN I DO...WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE VALPO LINE? I KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN ON AN EXTENSIVE RD TRIP AND DROPPED 3 IN A ROW BUT SEEMS A LITTLE LITE TO ME...MAYBE SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING LIKE CORSO ALWAYS SAYS....REGARDLESS HOPE YOU HAD FUN ON BOURBON ST...GL :0008

Good luck box

I expect Texas to cover tonight, but along with Jones being out the other starting guard, Davis, will also miss this game. Go Horns.

Lunch Pail.. like Valpo but they lost a few in a row...their top scorer is still out with mono...so would pass...think the line would be different if Walker was playing...he is a 6'2 solid gd that I think avgs 16 pts a game..good luck
doglover..would go to the game but just got back from New Orleans yesterday...I would be really in the "dog" house if I told my wife I was going to a game tonite..are you there tonite...I will catch up with you at one of these games...

thanks DJP,rockvegas and 50 Cents...
New Orleans was great....Troy up 22-20 at the half...could see North Texas OL had nothing left..made a big halftime play Troy -1.5..actually with my phone posted here in MJ's with a text...took me about 10 minutes to figure it out but did post in time...had a lot of fun....

Box, I just wanted to say that I would have liked to have met you this last weekend, but had some family obligations, knew I wouldn't be able to get away, so just never said anything. I've enjoyed your posts so I know meeting you would have been fun. Maybe another time, sorry the mean green went down, but Army sure has been a good story this year.
