Sunday hoops and a Green Wave

[Box and one]

Tulane -4.5 over Fordham****
Tulane is 3-0 avg 90 pts a game..pre-season 8th or 9th in AAC...but Dunlevy has hi kids playing..blew away CSU.Has Reynolds avg 22 pts,Frazier 20...two tranfers from UNLV and Vandy have helped them big time..from an offense they are scoring inside-outside,etc Fordham got killed by FSU..they shot 1-22 from the 3..weak front line..Chart their gd led in rebounds..think Rams defense will not be able to stop the wave...the Wave is on a roll...Rams have troubling shooting and reboundng.

St Peter -2.5 over So bama **
Love when my 2 favorite conferences play each other Sun vs MAAC...Peter lost so much but are so well coached,play great defense..Griffin has emerged as top scorer...low scoring game but Peter wins this..

Niagara +6 over Umass **
line was +4 but moved to +6..Purple have some talent..Dukes can score and Scott could be MAAC POY...Purple have no front line and that scares me with Mass Holloway..he is 6'9 weighs 280-300 and can score..Can purple get enough post defense to slow him down...watched Purple get killed inside by Minny the other nite..and Purple did beat the Bonnies by 2 but Bonnies top player Adams didn't play...if Scott and Dukes can play well this game will be close..

FSU -12.5 over CSU **
FSU can score and play defense..They have some bigs inside and are so athletic..plus they have Mann at 6'6 who can do everything.. Tulane beat them 80-53...

Vir -17.5 over Monmouth **
Tough defense..can score...Hawks have a young team..Seaborn is there one true scorer...but Cavs know that too

Iona -4.5 over Coastal **
Iona wins one,losses one today wins one...

BC +1 over Lasalle **
Explorers have the better scorers in BJ and co...but still can'y play defense...BC has enough offense to give Lasalle problems..

best play Tulane

Watched Manhattan take down Harvard yesterday in a very entertaining game. Did some reading about Coach Masiello, he's quite the interesting character for sure and probably the best dressed coach in America. He's certainly not bashful about sharing his opinions.

3 pete..he is the most hated coach in the MAAC...his suits and hair belong in GQ magazine...runs his team like a tyrant....hated by every official....coaches grades refs after every game in the conferences..their allowed to ask the comish to review a play or 2 that they think was wrong...even when he wins big he will send in bad ratings...watching him on the side lines during a game is a "trip"...he's very short but is so animated...I have seen him goes "nuts" and the refs call was right..loves to intimidate them but it doesn't work...he is a target by the home team....at a Marist game a few years ago the students were all over him...instead of ignoring him he is talking back...think I have Manhattan -6 in a close game...I'm saying to myself...shut the f up and worry about your team...
Of course he is famous for what happened 3 yrs ago...he was applying for the USF head job...they found out he lied on his resume..doesn't have a BA or BS from Louisville..he lied....Manhattan has a rule..all coaches must have a College diploma...so UFS didn't hire him and Manhattan took him back...many Jasper people were upset...but he was winning..he finally got his BA but his 1st year back he was ridiculed and laughed at....Think when they played Rider or Siena fans were throwing fake diploma's at him at the game...
didn't get to see the game...Manhattan has Williams back who sat out last yr...thought Harvard would give them trouble but Jaspers are tough..Turner is tough.. Crawford who is up and down went to my local HS...I guess he went off yest getting 20 points...

Good stuff Box. He does have that "my shit don't stink" look to him. Pretty funny about the fake diplomas....
