Bucknell -5 over Boston U ***
a few weeks ago Boston upset Buck 84-79...Buck has now won 7 straight from that loss..Boston has won a few and lost a few...two top teams in the Pat conf...Buck outrebounded BU 38-24 but had 18 turnovers...Buck as 2 of the top 5 inside players in the conf in Thomas and Foulland 6'7 and 6'9...Brown is a 5'11 pt gd that has 99 assists..they avg 80 pts a game...and shoot 46fg%...BU is coming off 2 rd wins by a few points in each game vs Navy and Laf...they did lose to American at home by 11..Buck beat navy by 20 and blew away American almost 30...lasy yr Buck won both games 70-59 and 86-66..and has everyone back from those teams...BU has a little better defense but are the worst FT% in the country shooting 62%...Bucknell has a much better offense,has inside players that can score and rebound..and wants a little revenge from a few weeks ago..

early game..back later

Nova -7 over Marq **
Nova despite losing Booth are still loaded and has depth....they have 4 players that can stick a 3..they drive to the basket over and over again...FG% are outstanding...Brunson,Bridges,Divenzio,...Paschall who was the star at Fordham and transferred would of been the A-10 POY...there style of play is so hard to defend..and Marq cannot,repeat,cannot play any defense...they rank 315th...but they do have Howard who scored 37 pts vs Nova the 1st time..don't think he is getting that today after torching the cats...plus Nova does play great defense...

ECU +22.5 over Smoo **
ECU is so bad the lines out of Vegas are so high...but these damn Pirates lose all these games and cover every damn one of them..think pre-game talk before the Pirates go out on the court go over what the line is tonight..then they say we have to lose by only 19 tonite...

Oakland +1 over Wright **
A conf I never capp...but after watching Oaklands Nunn friday nite wow...this team is hard to follow because they always get transfers from all over..think Nunn played at Illinois...unless he didn't go to classes Illi doesn't have a player that can "tie his left sneaker...Really don't know much about Wright...they are good but Oakland knocked off NKU big...just give the ball to Nunn, set him a screen and get the hell out of there..

Richmond +10 over Davidson **
Spiders playing much better in last 4 or 5 games...think they can keep this close..don't let Alridge score...easier said then done though..

Houston -21 over USF **
Provided the Coogs heads aren't to big after knocking off the Shockers..Coogs won by 19 at USF..think they can improve that by a few more pts...

Depaul +5 over Seton Hall **
What has happened to the Hall...probably the most talent on any team in the conf...as long as Maric is playing I will take the DP...if both team brought their A game Hall wins by 15 on the road...but Hall has been taking its B-minus game so in my eyes " you fail". as long as its not by 6 or more..

Ly0 Chi -6 over No Iowa **

Bucknell up 23-19 in 1st qrt

recap yest
7-10 -6*'s
Terrible..St Joes loses to Penn..line changed 2 times ..went to pk and then Joes +1..that is always a bad sign...but recapped and went to Philly papers...Martelli said the Bonnies loss took a lot out of us...practice was bad,no energy,: couldn't get the kids up for the game. all week..never even went to the scoting of Penn,just worked on fundamental..what..c'mon Martelli ...got lucky and did win with Laf...
The best stat..So Bama +2 lost to UL Monore...but I was right..who can gd Sikes...he scored 38 pts..and had 1 freak'in assist..coach ,can you move him over to the 2 gd..he is your point gd.

Texas-Miss was great..sat in 2nd row...watched Mamba in warmups shoot 9 3's in a row..think all swishes..Shaka doesn't want him shooting 3's anymore because he is shooting 22 % from there...well late in the game he is wide open for a 3..now he knows he can hit them,and I know..maybe the other 9,000 people at the game don't know...Mamba shoots,swish...and Longhorns ran away from the Rebels...

Bucknell up 39-27 keep it up Bisons

Not sure of W/L but I counted 22 plays yesterday...Either way, thanks for posting

 

[jordan23]

Yeah Box, not trying to knit pick but the record for yesterday is way off. I counted 21 plays and -19*'s. I only followed your plays yesterday and was down big for the day

 

[Box and one]

Buck and Jordan...not nick picking..please correct me.. I thought I was doing so good each day putting my daily figures up.. but was in a rush trying to get the Bucknell game in..still no excuses
think it should be
8-13 -13 *'s yesterday..will go back and check it out again..my bad...I didn't add the parlay I threw in...I didn't even see the WMary and Pepper game...
but if I need to be corrected please do, I hate putting in my daily record but do understand a lot of people want to see it and it probably sways certain people...again these are always my plays and reasons why I like teams...explaining them takes so much time...I know my grammar and spelling are so bad sometimes...I never re-read my posts...think I sometimes put to much coaching in my plays...I think at times what I would do vs this defense,press breaker..but a lot of these coaches make poor decisions.It is easy to sit in row 2 and second guess though...my JV coach who sat next to me for 17 years never lost a varsity game..but he won a lot of my games I won...
thanks again for letting me know...was way up in wins and boxes before I lost track about 3-4 weeks ago, if someone out there has nothing to do and wants to go back and get my record and boxes please do...gotta run some big games tomorrow in the MAAC Iona-Fairfied Monmouth-Rider and Peter-Siena ..will be 3-0 after tomr nite:0003

Maybe just keeping a W-L record would be easier. Your units don't matter anyways since you don't account for juice on the losses. It doesn't bother me one way or the other so good luck moving forward.

Hey Box----

Curiois... Is that quote about officials in your signature line an original, or did you borrow it from someone? Thanks!
