Thats what coach MacDonald of Canisius said after his player dribbled the length of the court off a missed Rider FT with 6.8 seconds on the clock,and hit a 360% jumper in the paint off the glass for a 1 pt win at the buzzer.And he's right..."that is the beauty of march". Made me poorer but it was sweet.

I'll come back and recap yest.Lost my top game in Marist.Still stunned.During the dance last nite I sneaked into my office and turned on my computer.marist up 29-10.I danced right out of my office to the gym floor and continued my "moves". Will tell you what happened later.

St Johns +4 over Nova.
Buchanon might not play and that is big.Achillies are tough injuries.Nova playing for a 5-6th seed so it's not life and death.Think even if he plays he will be rested.Sales is also banged up but will play.
Johnnies need this game big time.It's a 2 seed if they win it and of course a 20 win season.Nova beat the Cuse the other day but it looked bad.Snowden is the worst ball handler in D-1.They held on to beat the Cuse but had 13 TO's in the 2nd half.Nova can't protect the ball.Johnnies defense will be "hawking" that ball the entire game.Sales and Wright will cause problems inside for the Storm.But Johnnies have Hatten and if he doesn't win POYr in the BE something is wrong.He also is a ball hawk defender and will pickpocket Snowden on the pre-game layup line.
Like the Johnnies to win thisa outright.Wright has Nova playing great D.Johnnies will struggle but Johny D is almost just as good.Johnnies are on a roll and are 6-2 in Feb.Make that 7-2 after today.

Ole Miss -1.5 over bama
really like the rebels here.This series has been a home and home one.Bama won by 20 at home.same as lyr and lost at Miss by the same.Both teams have balanced scoring and bama has Dudley and Grizzard.But it's senior day and only one Rebel is leaving but they haven't lost on their final day of the season since 1995.I like Miss.They can shoot FT's better then anyone.

Niagara-Canisious
have no time to recapp yest games.Both these 2 teams are rivals from Buffalo.Purple is on a roll.They are 6-1 ats in last 7 and the griffs are 3-0.Most people had the Griffs checking out of the Albany sheraton yest.here they are in the semi's.There is no line on the game yet.Purple have won both this yr by 18 and 3.Purple much quicker,more athletic,etc,etc.Griffs have that great intangible called "heart'.Could not believe the OT win over Rider.
If the line is Purple -5 or more I'll take the dog.If its less then that I have do to some thinking with my head and not my heart.

Cuse -6 over BC
Both teams on a downslide.Bc hasen't been in the Dome in a long time and Skinner is good for losing 3 pts a game,the dome another 3 or 4 pts and syndey taking 20 shots and out of control another 4.bell is good for -2 on the road.So that means for a small paly I'll take the Cuse.But Boe is 0-1 on his new named court.That could be bad.

Gotta run to church and pray a little. will be back later.
Johnnies and Miss for strong plays Will post Siena-Fairfield later.

Great stuff, Box (per usual)

Great stuff, Box (per usual)

I look for ole miss to play solid ball today. Thought I might even get a point or two from the linesmakers, but since the Rebs are favs, I feel even better about the game. Line is now up to Bama +2.

Pickpocketed in pre-game LOL !!

took the griffs -5.not a big play because the purple are so explosive.but purple could have trouble stopping bush in the post.purple had trouble defending the post.I would pound that ball in all day.
Also took temple pk over Joes for a small play.

Like UNC-Wilmington -5.5 over Delaware

Blizzard is the best shooter in the CAA.They play tough defense.Think they win by double digits.

Fairfield +3 over the hometown Siena Saints.
Siena still celebrating over upset of marist.Stags frontline alters a lot of shots.Stags offense is equal to anyone in the MAAC.It's their defense that has stepped up.Gunga-Din 7'0 ft cousins cause havoc in the paint. Deng is avg 14 pts and 8 bds.Spann has been playing great.Home crowd will help the Saints but Stags are having a blast.They already beat Siena twice by 5 and 3 last week.

Box,

I really think that Ole Miss pick is a solid one. I will not bet it of course being a Bama fan, but I think we get beat today. I have a feeling that it will be around 9 to 12 points. Ole Miss has a lot more to play for than us. I just have a bad feeling not to mention we have been shooting like crap here as of late.
