monday nite

[Box and one]

Johnnies -9 over Fairfield
Johnnies offense is pretty bad.But they play solid defense,contest shots are will score at least 12-16 pts in transition.Hill and Ingram will creat havoc on top and Cuffe,Reynolds and Diakete should control the bds.These kind of teams the Johnnies should have no problem with.Stags struggled at home with Harvard.There not a good defensive team.Johnnies win big.Lyr at Fairfield Johnnies won 81-68.Two yrs ago the Johnnies won 95-56.They should have no problem winning this15-20 pts.

Mahattan -25 over Columbia
It's the best team in the MAAC vs one of the worst teams in the Ivy.I watched Army-Columbia on TV the other nite.It was like watching Fear Factor and I'm squirmish.Columbia can't score.No one can create a shot.They hustle all over but are no match for Flores and co.

West Vir -6 over JMU
Loved the line at -3 but has now jumped to -6.WV has to play at the JMU zoo.But they lost most of their team.They beat Furman by a couple he other nite.JMU is small.WV has 6'10 Pittnogle and sharp shooter Schifino.They have all 5 starters back.This team lost 8 games by less then 5 pts .But with 6'10 transfer D'or Fischer he is a shot blocking machine.Pitt will play its 1-3-1 esp when Pitt and D'or are in.D-Collins is a solid pt gd and Sally is avg foward.They rely to much on Schifnino to score.But Tyler Relph the NY State PO of Yr is waiting.Has been quiet in camp but he can shoot the hell out of it.

Johnnies...8 boxes
Manhattan...2
West Vir......1

Box as always Look for your games.
Respect your East Coast Know alllllll.
But I also watched the Johnnies play Marq the other day and Just from my take on this team Thay had to of gotten better overnight....or Stags are way off from what everyone expected of them for a play this size. In fact my take on that game was it was a mugging....no fouls called by the guys in stripes. Johnnies
looked bad but so did Marq with the exception of Denier.
Ill look for more tomarrow.....Good Luck on the game anyway.

I really think West Virginia is going to be undervalued this year. They are solid all over, but they don't get a lot of press. At -3, I would be all over them, but at 6 I'm going to think about it for a while.

Too many points for me in the Manhattan game, but you are correct that the game should be a joke from start to finish.

St. Johns won by 13 at Fairfield, but that was with Hatten and Glover, so I'm not sure about that one. Of course, if you factor in how poorly Fairfield looked against Harvard the other night and how much I suck so far this year, that might be a great pick. Good luck tonight.

Box -- good call on Big Red last nite...hope I didn't cost you any money.

Since you're here, I assume you drove okay and Mrs. Box got home.

Not sure about these plays...I might play Manhattan for 1H...Columbia may be even worse this year than last.
