Sunday plays..

[Box and one]

Hall -2 over Pitt *
have been going against the Hall but will finally take them.Hazell will have a tough time getting his shot uncontested.Like Lawrence at the pt. He adds so much because harvey has no b-ball IQ.Pope has to stay out of stupid fouls....and they have to gd Gibbs...the line just went up to Pitt +3..this is a change in the play
Pitt +3 over Hall *

Northern Iowa -5.5 over Ind St ****
I love this teams chemistry.Ahelebe,Moran and Farok..are solid gds.Koch is one of the best fds in the valley and you have the air craft carrier in Eglesder.Front court has a big advantage for NIU.The top 5 or 6 scorers for the Sycamores are all gds.Just a few weeks ago NIU beat them at home 60-42.Game will be closer because panthers are on the rd but this team has everyone back from last yr.They are one solid team and well coached.

St Peters +5 over Canisius **
Griffs have won 4 of last 6 and both to Siena.Coles is playing great,Turner leads the MAAC in scoring.It;s nice to see two doormats of this league winning.Peter is playing great also.They are playing defense holding teams to shooting 38% and 60 pts a game.They have the two best gd tandem in the MAAC in jenkins and Leon.Think those two will cause the Griffs some problems.Peter frontline like Griffs are playing good.I think Peters speed will effect Griffs...

Fairfield +5.5 over Iona ***
I think Stags are one of the best teans in the MAAC.Iona is another team playing good. They full court,pressure defense,machado,etc are tough.They are relentless and wear teams down.But Stags have a pt gd in Needham who will be tough to stop.Johnson inside is dominating the bds.Think everyone is on Iona..might play the moneyline for a * also.Think Stags could win this outright.

Rider +8 over Niagara *
I'm 0-12 taking Rider.Unreal...this is the last time..I promise...only because the Purple are nuts.if NU brings there 'A" game they could win this 90 -70.If rider wakes up which they haven't since beating Miss St they should cover...small play..

Siena -7 over Siena **
Ubiles the saints best player is out.Think Saints know they can't afford a slip and will stay focused.Pickett on fire for the jaspers.Think Jackson picks up and Rossitter plays big.

Made a rare play in the NBA taking the Mavs -2 over the Knicks.Only to find out after I made the play Kidd is not playing...but sticking with my play.
GL today Go Northern Iowa..

SH fits the "unranked fav over ranked dog" system....usually does very well!!!

 

[Ools]

uh oh -- 2 of my favorite trails on opposite sides on NIU/ISU...he has a stellar record on ISU games...but have seen the NIU boys and they are impressive...but he had his play up first, so I'm sticking with it!!

hi box, love your analysis, always look for ya to see what you have to say..but why change your mind on a one point move? pitt looks terrible, hazell has been out with foul trouble for several minutes now and the hall is STILL dominating....

guess i can flush my pitt money down the crapper.

[Box and one]

tubby..your right..+1 pt makes me switch..was leaning on the hall...and you know everytime I switch I lose...I need a ats scorecard on me on switches..its worse then my rider picks...Looking for a big Pitt comeback in the 2nd half Should of listened to you Hudson....I need you before the game starts...GL...lol..but I'm actually watching my Knicks getting destroyed by the Mavs....and when I found out Kidd wasn't playing I didn't change my play....stuck with it..that is discipline and I don't have that..except in my one NBA play of the year. GL

ools..hope the panthers can keep this up....same with Peter
Going to my buddies house to watch the jets...I have talked so much smack on my Giants the past 2 yrs..today my Jet buddies give it back to me...I even put one box down on the colts just so I can cheer against the jets... played donald smith the Colt rb to score the 1st td..

 

[nickcage100]

good job again.

 

[Hashish]

Box, first of all, I always enjoy your analysis of college hoops. Love to take a look at your plays.

Don't mean to be a pedantic bastard, but it's UNI, not NIU. I live in Iowa, and they're a good team that will look to make some noise come March.

Keep up the good work!

 

[Box and one]

jedi...my bad...and you are right..I try to type so fast there is no proof reading or chances to make corrections...when I post..sometimes I go back and read my posts and see so many mistakes.And I'm an educator.NIU and UNI get me mixed up..thought it was Northern Iowa Univ...was it ever that? A lot of schools changed their names to the "University".
I graduated from North Texas State Univ.....to make our school look smarter they changed the name to the "University of North Texas" Was UNI ever NIU?
If it was I'm going to keep saying NIU....not really. lol..listen they won today and covered...I call them IUN...I do like this team though...haven't read the box scores..just got back from a jets party...take care ..thanks for the correction Gl this yr

 

[HiLo Kaiser]

Great capping today Box. The MAC is your bread n' butter. NIU came thru with a great victory. Props on that call as well as your others. Cheers.

Best,
Kaiser

I think they were originally called Iowa State Teacher's College, because they were founded to educate the state's teachers. That is still their biggest emphasis.
