Niagara -6.5 over Rider
Purple have won 4 of last 5.They are in a 3-way tie with Siena and Iona for 3rd in the MAAC.This game means a lot to them.Top 4 teams get a bye in the tourney.The rest have to win 4 straight to be cong champs.
This is a talented team.They have the top 2 rebounders in the conf in Reaves and Mendez.The 4th and 5th top scorers in Mendez and Darden.The top assit man and assit turnover in Cruz.A top 3 pt shooter.They rank No 2 and 3 in FG% and rebounding.
Rider is dead last in the MAAC in scoring offense to Niagara 3rd.Rider does rank No1 in scoring defense compared to the Purples 8th.Rider is at the bottom in rebounding and are the worst 3 pt shooting team.Johnson shoots 24% and the team 28th%.
Niagara already beat them in Jersey 74-68.Think the Purple control the bds.Mendez inside should score.Or if Reed stops him you have Reaves. Riders Taylor can shoot from the outside and Young with his Jimi Hendrix "dew" gets slowed down by wind velocity.
Darden is a stud at 6'3 and can do it all.Johnson is probaly the most talented player in the MAAC having an off yr.Cannot believe the amount of 3's he hoists up.
Niagara is ranked 32 out of 233 vs ats at 12-8.Rider is 217th at 6-12.
With Purple at home,a chance for a bye in round one,Mihalich has his boys ready...Purple win by 10....
Canisius -6 over marist
I was at the last game when Marist won by 5.Marist should win one game this week upstate.They have Niagara on sunday and there not beating them.Griffs have Mallory and Dux.Marist on the road is terrible.There ats record is 225th.Thats the 9th worst team out of 233 at 5-13.But on the road they have 4 of those 5 wins.
Really not sure.Griffs at home are terrible and have lost almost every game recently except for Loy-Md.
Going to be smart and pass tonite.
Like Purple to win by 10
