Hofstra - over Drexal ******
Hof is coming off a huge home win vs 25th ranked G.Mason.They were there 19th str home game,etc,etc.
Hof won by 1 in OT in Philly a month ago.But Drex on the road has some seroius shooting woes.They are dead last in the CAA in offense and at the bottom in FG%.Meanwhile Hof is ranked No 2 in offense.Both teams are even in rebounding and many other stats.Drx defense is a few notches ahead.
Both teams are gd orintated.Drxs has 4 gds that can score and Hof has 3.
This game has no real value for Drex.They are set at being seeded 7th or 8th,playing at noon or later in the Conf tourney.Hof also gets a bye but has a shot at 2nd place and a win today gives them a top 50 RPI,22 wins and a shot at an at-large.Throw in 19 str home games, undefeated at home for the season,senior day,etc.Pecora has done an outstanding job with no depth what so ever.Vs Mason he had 0 pts from his bench.But Augdio,Riveria,and Stokes are the 3 best gds in the east.Uter inside is tough and Kieza can score inside-outside.Drex has Mejia who can stick the 3 but they barly beat the weak W&mary the other nite.Mary packed a zone and Drex couldn't hit.
Drex on the rd has lost almost every game in cong by the magic number 7.ODU,Wilma,Del and Mary.Mary and Del are weak and they couldn't handle them,
Pride today will come out pumped.The line is below the magic 7 so I love it.This will be a double digit win at home.No let down in Long Island.Hof is always second cousins to the Johnnies,Halls,Rutgers,Cuses in tri-state media,etc.They are 8-2 ats home and I've been riding them at home since day 1.

Siena - over Niagara ****
Saints were pre-season last in the MAAC.Today they play for 4th place and a bye in the tourney.Last yr they lost 24 games.They just knocked off Iona and play Niagara who I watched get beat by Marist the other nite.Kojo,Jordan and Fisher are 3 scorers but they are great defenderd.Iona other then Burtt had trouble scoring.Perimeter defense was outstanding.Siants problems are playing ve Post players.Well NU doesn't have one.Mathis who has a basketball IQ of 10 had 3 quick fouls vs marist and had to sit.Since Fisher went down for NU Brown has stepped up in 4 games to avg 24 pts a game.but vs Marist the other nite he came down to earth.NU undisciplined,shoots 3's from everywhere,defense non exsistent,backdoors,no boxing out,etc,etc,
Tay F hit 5 tre's for Siena,Jordan leads in scoringreb,etc.Kojo I love and hasbrouck was named this week MAAC rookie of the week for the 7th time.
Talk about a team that might win the conf.They could..and the tourney of couse is in Albany.
Two strong games..Hof the best...
be back later with a few more.

BYU - over TCU ***
1st time they played it went into OT.BYU has shot at 1st in conf depending on other scenarios in the **.But they will get a rd win vs the Frogs who have lost 7 in a row.

UAB - Smoo ** to much talent,uptempo,etc
ODU- over Delaware ** nana,nana,not enough..
Nev plus over Utah St ** *wrong team favored.Nev can win outright.

UNLV plus AF ** close to the wire

Marist - over fairfield ** Foxes with Jordan who now leads the nation in assits is playing great.Stags defense or ..no defense I mean..

So bama - over North Texas **** be back tonite eo explain..
Seton hall - over DePaul **
Orr probaly lost his job with the Johnnies win over them.He needs this bad and his players know it.He loses today,Orr is gone.

NE - over Towson * they surprised everyone the other day but NE has Barea..
Pacific - over cal North *
Denver plus over Troy *
Ark Lr - over La-Laf *
VCU - over W&Mary *

way to many games..Hof,Siena,So Bama and BYU are top picks.Skip the rest..Sorry about the poor spelling..
Boiler..like the Foxes tonite.

Big Red..wow..I saw a highlite yest of that yest but not the whole story.I think I know the coach.He looks so famaliar.Think maybe at the NY Coaches ass meetings.Great story.But I'm wondering...could he have done that earlier..Hitting 8 tre's is not luck.Thanks for sharing..
Thom...don't know what a "garbage plate is".I live in Upstate NY.Rochester,Buffalo is up,up UpState.Maybe those guys know what it is.
Wox..don't follow Ohio HS hoops but know there one of the best b-ball states.I know the Cook kid is an all american.Where is he going? And I do know North College HS has some big time players.

Cook is on his way to OSU...the kid is out of Dayton...I used to watch some of his high school games when I lived there after college...and he should make a nice addition to OSU's other recruits coming in...well depending if OSU gets sanctioned

yeah i know its not but im just frustrated at myself... hofstra went up 20-12 then pissed that lead away.. they arent a hungry team today, they havent shown the fire at all... there is a long way to go but they have to outscore drexel by nearly 13 to cover, not an easy task at all....

Not over yet...

Not over yet...

Drexel does have a tough defense. If I played Hofstra, I wouldn't be optimistic, but this game is far from over.

Seems like there are plenty of Pride backers, so I'll root you guys on and forget about the fact that Drexel is a home town squad.

Sorry about Hofstra.They came back in 2nd half.Up 8 with 5 minuts and then Drex came back.Don't know what happened but that was terrible on my part.Will try to figure out what happened but that won't change anything..my bad

So Bama - over North Texas ***
So bama already beat NT in Denton 89-67.The difference is NT can't play defense and Jags do play *.NT on the road vs the Suns teams lose pretty bad.WKU by 26,La-Laf19,Denver 6,Ark LR 9.They did beat Troy and Ark St.Jags with Jointer and co should be able to attack NT's defense.Jags defense will hold down the run and gun offense of the Green.

BYU,UAB,Siena,Marist,Nev are coming up.Taking WKU - over FIU * also.Think Winchester and Lee show is to much...
Foxes beat Fairfield by 91-72 a while back.Think Marist is on a roll...Marist vs NU got the ball to 7'0 Smith down low on the 1st 8 possesions.Smith had 10 pts in the 1st couple of minuts.Stags have no post defenders.
