Shockers

[Box and one]

St Peters -5 over Rider ***
Rider might use 4 gd lineup like they did the other nite.But Peter has Yates back and he helps on the bds.That is where Peter has problems.Clark vs Johnson tonite.The two top gds in the MAAC.Clark wins..

Wichita -11.5 over Manhattan **** best bet
MC has 2 gds that can't score and are 5'10 and 5'11.Anderson is tough inside but he's going against a good solid team.Shockers play defense,rebound well.MC on the road are in trouble.Lyr they handled MC at Draddy and MC had Flores.

Tenn Chat +1.5 over AP ***
Mocs are the better team despite AP playing some good teams close.Katelynas,Brown,Pugh..to much for AP

Iowa St over XU *
Brown +17.5 over Prov *
Wisky Mil -10.5 over Det U *

Auburn over Vir Tech in football ****

 

[Box and one]

Iowa St +4 over XU *
Went 8-4 yest. with top 2 plays winning by 1 pt each.Seems like I always lose by a pt.

Bucknell win over Pitt has to be great for a small school.Bucknell and Vermont are two talented teams.

Caper..Vermont can compete with most mid- majors and win some of those conferences.Coppenrath is the real deal and can play with anybody.Sorrentine is a great pt gd.They have won 43 games the past 2 yrs.
Brennon is an outstanding coach.The problem is they will win the American East and get seeded 16th and play Louisville or Conn like last yr.

Bucknell's coach Flannery is another great coach.Great teacher,motivator,etc.Talk about teaching defense.He was a D-3 coach at Lebanon Valley and recruited some of my players yrs ago. I think he won the D-3 championship.
How sweet that is beating Pitt at Pitt.And although many will call it an upset Bucknell outplayed them and Flannery gave Dixon a clinic..

albany program quietly improving, might be worth a look in a future lined game...saw uvm's coppenrath twice, the boy has a direct line from his fingers to the hoop, will prob have a 40-45 pt game somewhere...gl, caper

Approriate name for this thread.
Wichita St losses outright at home.
So does Wis.-Mil.
Unreal.

kegray, these are the kind of results that not only baffle me but add to the overwhelming body of evidence that i'm simply wasting time trying to figure out this horse****...these 2 teams cost me thousands tonite & the sad part is i don't know why i was so wrong...this isn't piss & moan, just thinking maybe i'll stick to my knitting (as mom & grandma used to say), options/futures are relatively easy--well, easier-- compared w/ this game...oh yeah, btw nice job auburn in the red zone 1st half, 3's instead of 7's, this should quiet down any "tigers" who think they'd have a chance vs okla or usc...gl, caper
