Marist - over Canisius ******strong play
Got line last nite but it has gone up 2 pts.Foxes should handle the Griffs tonite in Poughkeepsie.Griffs beat them 3 times lyr and elimanated them form the MAAC tourney.Beside some revenge the Foxes frontcourt should dominate the paint tonite.Griffs are a perimeter shooting team with no real post player.They did beat Brown the other nite with Wilson and Downey as there top shooters.But Mrist has 7'0 Smith who is avg 14 pts and 6 bds.Smith is tough and gets better every game.he can also go out to the top of the key and stick a 3.Stilphen is the big strong fd who can score and rebound inside.Whittington found his stroke back and is one of the best 3 pt shooters in the nation.Jordan is the 2nd best pt gd in the MAAC behind KeeKee.He's avg 15 pts 5 bds and almost 7 apg's.His only weakness is defense.Foxes have depth with Hood,Farmer is back.
Griffs start 4 gds and a fd.Marist has a good inside attack pounding the ball in and Whittington from the outside.Griffs defense is in trouble.Foxes have won 3 in a row beating the Johnnies and Bonnies.

Siena + over Fairfield ***

Like the Saints here with Kojo and Jordan.Hasbrouck has been a surprise avg 10 pts a game and Fisher can stick 3's from the LI Sound.Beers there shooter who has been a big time disappointment hit a few 3's vs Vermont the other nite.Todd leads the Stags in scoring.Han has been one of the best rookies in the MACC avg 10 pts a game.Maxwell and Bell those 6'4,6'5 undersized fds.But Stags problem is defense.They can't stop anyone.Think the Saints area little more athletic and quicker.

Wichita - over N.Iowa *
MSU + over Illi **
Drexal - over W&Mary **
Georgia St + over Northeastern *
UL Laf + over North Texas *

Won last nite with Seton Hall.What a game.I'll take the win but it was uglier then sin.Hall and the Johnnies are terrible.Hall has 8 pts with 12 minuts left in the 1st half.Johnnies in the 2nd half looked even worse.Still cannot believe that I won this game.I'll take it but deserve no credit..

And Texas..wow. My daughter who graduated at UT,finished her masters at UT and is now working on her doctrate there is a 2nd grade teacher in Austin.She teaches in a lower income area but all her students today came to school with there burnt orange Texas shirts.And after the pledge of alligiance everyone sang" the Eyes of Texas"..
You Texans should be proud..and what a game...

Well, sorry to see you on the Foxes because I like Canisius quite a bit tonight and I really hate to go against you in the MAAC. Who knows,I got em at +8 so maybe we can get this one to fall on 7 and both hit.

Good luck

Spang..Smith and Stilphen are both big guys and Brady will have Jordan attack.Griffs post defense is the problem.And Brady rotates Whittington on Smiths side so when teams double down on Smith he kicks it out to Whit.
Wilson is a slasher and Downey can score.I like Harris and Herring but everyone is a gd.Brady will run a hi-low post with Stils and Smith.Foxes will get good looks to the basket.Of course they have to hit them.
GL..

Spang,you were right.I watched the game on local TV.Marist up by 10 or 12 at half.Then total collaspe.Griffs defense and speed took over.Smith got benched by Brady.Even though Whit hit 3 from beyond he was off.Jordan had a bandage around his hand from a previous injury.Foxes looked lethargic in 2nd half.But no excuses.pretty poor job on my account.Siena and Drexal won,lost with all the rest for - 6 boxes.
Won't be back tonite.Taking mahattan ** tonite plus the pts.
Lyr Iona sweeped by a total of 4 pts.That is the line tonite.Small play with the jaspers.
Loy Md over Niagara..small play.
