Sunday hoops

[Box and one]

Ok rebounded from a -19*'s...to 8-1-2 +14*'s

UTA -7 was a push but still can't figure out why they didn't blow Coastal out.having had time to look up the box score and see what happened..

Laf La did what I thought and was no match for UL Monroe Laf won 80-59...
and missed the Tex-OU game but had a good time in San Marcus....
Appa St won 59-56...
hit the trifecta ..Appa +4,under 134 and a play I should of just pounded..Tx St under 70 points..in their last 4 games and 2 of those were home they scored 56,54,50 and 61...

early games
BC -2.5 over Ga Tech **
BC at home avgs almost 80 pts a game..think the line would of been higher if GT lost to the Cuse but they beat them by 4 or 5..the other day...BC did upset Duke at home and beat Fl St and Wake ,lost to Clemson by a couple,and many ages ago did lose to UVA by 1 at their place..GT on the rd lost to UNC,FSU,ND and UGA..the only win was against Pitt...


Nova -12.5 over Hall ***
Nova just running over everyone.. Hall has a lot of talent but Nova blew XU away,Creighton,Prov,,you name it...

Iona -8 over Marist *
Just watched Iona game on TV the other nite..just brutal to watch them win in OT to Quinn...worst coached team in the country....should of put Quinn away about 10 times and win by 15...small play...Iona just has so much more talent then the Foxes..but that doesn't mean anything..Foxes played terrible in last game..can't rebound,play defense,etc.. Foxes can keep this close only because Iona is so inconsistent. I think Iona has to much talent and gets by with a cover

early games back later..

I knew I was the JINX......Great day

 

[Box and one]

Thanks Jordan and Buckwheat..

Lunch Pail....Austin is the music capital....I seem to baby sit a lot when my daughter and my son go out there and see concerts....last Sunday night I did see the Moody Blues in concert...they were great and we sat up on he 12th row...center stage...I did notice that there was some enhancement music playing in the backround though..when Nights in White Satin was sung I could hear the London Symphonic Orchestra in the back round.. didn't see any Horns and flutist on stage...but they didn't lip synic...

MAAC games
Canisius pk over Peter ***
Peter defense just shut down the Puples high flying offense to 27 FG%,5-28 from the 3,and hold them 25 pts below there avg...but Canisius is a different animal...1st of all they play much better defense then Nia...they have 2 solid scorers in Crumpton and Reese..and Crumpton is a 6'6 250 pound scorer...he can play inside and outside..they like to put him up at the free throw line facing the basket...think that will be harder to stop because he can drive..if peter collaspes on him the Griffs and some talent around him..also Griffs run a motion offense instead of the Niagara offense....much harder to defend...Reese is explosive and can score...but Peter knows this and has figured it out...Peter still can't score or shoot...offense is so bad but they win with there defense..they had lost 6 in a row and Niag won 7 in a row,,and looked what happened... think Griffs are the best team right now in he MAAC...close game but think they win this..

Rider -5.5 over Quinn **
Rider has won 5 in a row...avg 83 pts a game..but gives up 77 a game...Vaughan,Allen and Scott scoring,,but they have the best pt gd in the MAAC in Jordan...just a quite kid,gets very little press but see the open floor and can pass his butt off...watched Quinn lose to Iona in OT the other nite..they have a pretty nice team.. have won 4 of 6 at home... Young had a big game vs iona..he drove to the hoop about 5 times for layups when Iona's defense was playing the old " red sea defense"...these were uncontested layups in a half court offense...I would love to hear Tim Cluess Iona's coach in the huddle after another Young layup." OK guys,he beat out our gd on top,where is the post player and 2 wings that are the help...a layup vs our zone or man...think Rider defense which isn't to much better might stop Youngs dribble and let him shoot it..Daniels who I have been saying " where are you"...OMG He gained about 50 -60 pounds...no wonder why he is not dominating the league..his butt is so big and he can't move...at 6'9 he is so slow...he will get his 12-14 pts inside but really a disappointment...

Niagara +3.5 over Monmouth **
{ have tape of Purple coach recorded at the New Jersey Turnpike Vince Lombardi Stop 2 days ago}

"So Peter shut us down...clinic style..dictated our entire offense into what they wanted us to do...we are on one of the top scoring teams in the country..we have the 2 most outstanding scorers in the country...we are
7-2 ats on the rd ,No 2 in the country.. we are right in the mix for 1st place in the conf..we are playing Monm who has lost 2 in a row,are 7-15..they have this kid Seaborn who us a stud..we need to stay on him Tighman can shoot..stay with Hammonds he is dangerous..don't let their record fool you..these guys can Ball...now lets forget what happened in Jersey City Friday nite...it was my fault we stopped on RT 17 and had our pre-meal at White Castles in Ramsey,NJ...I know Dukes and Scott has about 20 sliders each...that's my bad...now we already lost one game in New Jersey..no way were taking the 12 hour bus ride back to Niagara Falls 0-2...and by the way..we really don't have to win as long as we just lose by under 4.....ok on 3,lets go".


that tape was found and sent to me by NJ Sammy ....via Amazon.. I took me 2 days to sort out all the other freak'in Amazon packages that arrive everyday...damn wife..does anyone else have that problem...

Taking the hated Eagles +4.5 today..will play a few prop bets

Hope everyone has a great Super Bowl day..my daughter-in law is about due anyday for a baby girl.. I
predict in the 3rd quarter she starts with contraptions...

and here in Austin we have so many good hamburger places..but I had to mention White Castle....damn,I could go for a few right now...sorry for the long rambling GL today

 

[smax]

I am not playing any hoops today but I always look if I am not at work. :0003

Best of luck?. and thanks for the ramblings. No one does any better.

Oh, I did take heads in the coin toss. Don't like either team. We missed the "dream game".

Vikes-Jags. A team that's never won and team that's never been there
