baylor ends my losing streak with the friday night cover, now 9-10 overall. one early game for today as i'll be out for most of the day.
siena +8-: seems like a good spot for the saints, who have had four days to prepare for their home opener against stanford in a revenge matchup after a blowout cardinal win in palo alto last year. saints starting a bit slowly at 1-2 gives us a little line value today, but siena is picked no. 1 in the preseason maac poll, highlighting a two-year turnaround under new coach mccaffery. meanwhile, stanford ravels cross-country west to east to play their fifth game in eight days, having played northwestern thursday in evanston and three tourney games in three days nov 9-11. cardinal stands at 4-0, but got three cupcakes at home in the tourney and faced northwestern without leading scorer kevin coble. cardinal didn't leave evanston till yesterday morning, so has had little time to acclimate for todays 1:00 est tipoff. siena doesn't waste much time playing d, but promises to push a pace that should be a little quicker than stanford's comfort level in this spot. siena's style of play couldn't be more different than stanford's last game vs northwestern. saints hung within this number againt the 'cuse in the dome; i think they can do the same on their home court vs a cardinal team that should be a little jetlagged.
