Hudson Valley area.....NY
Houston +10 over Wichita **
Shockers at home are tough..but Coogs can flat out play and keep this game close...

So Miss -3.5 over UTEP **
both teams are bad...but Miners on he road are bad..think So Miss at home can win and cover.

ODU -15 over Rice **
Owls are so bad..cannot score..so going against one of the top defensive teams in the conference..ODU might throw a shut out...oops forgot its not baseball...

Zona St -9,5 over Colorado ****
Suns gods coming off 1st loss of season...they still avg 90 pts a game..they still have Evans and Holder out front,White and Lake inside...nothing changes...Buff have lost 5 of last 6...double digit rd win for the Sun boys..

UTSA +7.5 over La Tech **
Roadrunners should of beaten North Texas the other nite...they just lost their "cool" and let NT's Smart dominate...their top scorer Jhivan comes off the bench and is "instant offense"...shoots 3's,drives to the basket,shoots fade away jumpers...but was totally "out of control...gets fouled but missed some FT's that would of won the game for them...anyway Wallace is another gd who can shoot and penetrate...Frohen is my favorite player...inside fd that has some great moves...think Roadrunner coach watches the North Texas game on tape and make some adjustments for tonite.. if not La Tech will blow them away...La Tech has some balanced scorers...just lost 2 rd games but are at home tonite...

North Texas -7.5 over Char ***
NT has won 2 conference games in a row on the rd..their 2 gds are playing great but Smart is the "straw" that stirs the team...he is unreal...can drive,stop on a dime and shoot...should make 1st team all CUSA...it took a few games for everyone to realize just how of an impact player he is...in the UTSA game he didn't touch the ball on 4 or 5 possessions...coach called time out and just reamed his team...the next 4 or 5 possessions Smart got the ball and scored....with 6 minutes left he just dominated...Char is one of the worst def teams in the conf...NT gds are tough,inside players can rebound but can't score but who wants them to score...just rebound and play D...NT wins by double d's at home...

UTA -7 over Troy ***
Have lost 8 boxes on the Mav's that's ******** unreal in the last 2 weeks ...defiantly my numbers are off...maybe giving Neal to may points,Hervey to Many ??? he did shoot 5-20 the other nite and Neal who leads the nation in assists had tons of turnovers...they lost 3 of last 4 games...this is the best team in the conf...so again for the 3rd time maybe they wake up..playing one less box so maybe that is it...a good fade play would be Troy +7...but think at home in Arlington they play like their pre-season press...

Texas St -4 over So Bama **
Under 129.5
I'm going to the game tonite..hard to capp...both teams can't score or shoot...both teams play great defense...Bobcats own this series winning 5 of last 6..Jags did just beat both Georgia's ..they have Sikes are good scorer..their off is ranked 313th...Bobcats just beat Coastal but shot 5-18 from the 3..Bama shot 8-33 in one of those Georgia wins...fact is neither team can shoot the 3....Pearson is the Bobcats only true scorer..but Kasper has these kids play lock down defense...going to give the 4 points...but the under looks good at 129.5...haven't played it over-under yet..any suggestions would be appreciated..

went
4-1-3 +2*'s
Kentucky was a push at -3..some people got it at -2.5..but I was to early or to late

going tonite to Texas St and on Saturday one of my racquetball buddies got me tickets to the Texas-Baylor game in Waco ...never been in Waco...looking forward...

I've been to George's several years ago on my way to Oxford, MS for the Texas/Ole Miss game. Remind me what the Big O is? A burger?

From eddy back to downtown waco is about 25 minutes heading south. exit university parks dr and take a right and the gym is a couple miles down on the left. Georges is on the left side of the hwy and i think the exit is 17th st. You will see the big o sign from the highway. Leaving georges you are 5 minutes from gym. Have a good time and should be a good game. SIC EM BEARS!

I used to live in the Oak Hill area back when I first started posting on here about 15 years ago. I'm in San Antonio now and not sure I could deal with the traffic in Austin if I were still living there, although I do miss the heck out of that city.

Maybe sometime next year we can hit up a nice tailgate during a football game. I'll let you remind me again how much you hate Rick Barnes. Ha!

Good luck with my Sun Devils tonight Box, we are getting back a bit recruit in Kimani Lawrence who hasn't played this year, but at 6'7"-6'8" will give them some much needed depth in the frontcourt to help out all those guards. Boulder/Salt Lake City is always a tough 2-game stretch in the Pac12 because of the altitude at both places, hope the Devils find some success tonight at Coors Event Center and I can tip a few back myself!

Feel bad for you boys on the east coast, I remember why I was a young snowbird and got sick of shoveling at 18. It's 76 in the valley of the sun, I'll make sure to pour a cold one for all my frozen MJers out there!

Box, Careful of your speed around Bruceville-Eddy on IH-35...I got a speeding ticket there going to Hot Springs for a funeral. Sneaky cops around there.

Hi Box, Jumped on the N. Texas bandwagon early this morning. Line went up but the Mean Green went down hard. Learned my lesson with Houston and took the Shockers. Glad you have those permanent snow days down in the heart of Texas. Enjoy the weather.
