I heard Magarity[Marist coach] on the radio yest.I wish I taped it.but he was talking about the "wild and wacky MAAC'.Talking about no one can figure out anything on who wins and losses each conf game.
And he's right.I'll write up what he was saying tonite.

St peters -4.5 over marist
Foxes started out 1-8 and have now won 4 of last 6.Held fairfield to 50 pts the other nite.Looks like they turned the corner on there season and then second to last place Canisius comes to Pouhkeepsie and kicks there butts.
But Peter is led by the most exciting player in the country in Clark.They are on MSG TV today at 4.00.If you get that station watch this kid.He looks like Erkiel at 5'9.Pt gds like Nelson of Joes and Barretts of the Halls are little guys but built with that low center of gravity.Clark is an ectomorph.Skinny ass string bean.
Anyway Peter is in 2nd place and had been beaten by Marist for yrs.Lyr Clark led Peter to its 1st win over the Foxes.
Peters problem is rebounding.And Clark is the top rebounder.But the 2 transfers Sowers and Yates have helped on the bds.Nichols is a super frosh avg 10 pts a game.and watson comes off the bench.
Foxes start 2 freshman in Parks and Jordan.But Foxes play 8-10 guys.McClurkin the juco center has really added to their inside game.
I'll take Peter today to get their running game going.Clark is No2 in the nation in scoring.Peter is 4th in scoring in conf but Marist is 2nd in defense behind Manhattan.And speaking of Manhattan,did anyone see them play defense yest vs fairfield.Peter is also no1 in 3 pt FG% and marist is dead last tied with siena.Marist is No1 in def bds and Peter last.
But Peter has improved on turn over ratio to rank 2nd.But Foxes are right behind.
Game is at Pepsi Arena in Albany.I'll take for a small play Clark and co to win by just over the line.he'll hit a 3 late in the game to carry them over.Both teams can't shoot FT's.

Detriot -5 over clev st
Det has beaten Clev st the past fews yrs by 17,19,4 and 10.Think they get a road win and cover.
Det got beat by 20 vs Kent.Clev St lost to kent by 50.Thats all I need.

Iona +5 over Siena,
NT -9 over Fl Int...
Pitt +10 over UConn
will be back tonite to explain.
Yest lost Niagara[big play] and Canisius won with Nova and Manhattan.

Thanks Box, like St. Peter's myself so it's good to see you on it. Was about to make my wager when I saw the line has dropped to -3. Any idea why there'd be a point and a half line move for this game?

Iona -5 over Siena
small play...Iona offense vs siena defense.
Iona ranks top 3 in MAAC in FG%,3 pt,Assists,Def bds,Bl shots,and assit-turnover ratio.Sienaq ranks 9th and 10th in about 7 catogories.Ranks in top 3 in Reb margin,off bds and def bds.
Game is at Siena but I'll make a small play on Iona.
Game starts in 15 minuts so I'll post this now and come right back.
Iona **

Box are you aware......

Box are you aware......

That Smith is most likely out for tonights game for Iona??

Or has this changed? Covers reported that is has become academically ineligable.

Good Luck & great job on UD & SPU.

North texas -9.5 over Fl Int
Mean Green will get a nice double digit win tonite.It's been 2 yrs since NT beat a D-1 team by over 10 pts in Denton.
But Johnson the 6'9 stud will have a big game.He's coming off 6 or 7 straight games where he has dominated on the bds.NT got hot last week finally hitting there outside shot vs denver.
Fl Int has its top 4 scorers all under 6'2.NT will get a rare DD win.

Pitt +11 over Conn
I'll bite like many on this game.Conn over the past few yrs has rarely ben a double digit fav and won.
Lyr they were 1-3 vs Miami,BC and Prov at home giving up -9,-10 and -12.
Who knows how Conn reacts to the tough loss at NC. But history tells us UConn after big losses doesn't come back strong.Lyr when they lost to NC,they lost to Miami a few nites later.It was away.
But Pitt does have good gds in Krauser,Page and Brown.And there big boys inside have seen Okafor and beaten him before.
I'ii grab the pts here and think Pitt keeps it close.

NT ****
Pitt***

St peters pulled out a win.I got the line at -3.They covered anyway but peters almost blew the game.Magarity should of never played zone in the 1st half vs them.Peter was up by 9 at half.Once he took the zone away marist outplayed them.

Great calls so far today Box. I've been back and forth on this Pitt-UConn game but I think the final straw that has me going towards the points is the fact that UConn as a team shoots only a hair over 60% from the line. Assuming that they're not up by 20 with 2 minutes to go it will make it tough for them to extend the lead late. I see a fairly close game with UConn up by about 6-7 with a couple minutes to go and the fouls push it no higher than 9.

GL2 Us!
