Well will start with recap on Texas-Texas Tech game...almost everything I posted was wrong..the biggest mistake was Roach was not going to play..but a pre-tip decision by Shacka said he was available off the bench ..but once he got in you couldn't take him out....he scored 20 points and played unreal defense...he drove to the hoop,hit a few 3's and shut down Evans and co....
Mo Bamba....I have seen in the past 2 years here in Austin, Myles and Allan who both were "one and done" players..and having pretty good NBA careers now...but Bamba is the real deal....he had 15 points and 11 rebounds,5 blocks and about 10 altered shots and more importantly 25 " stay away from the middle"..plays.. I know they don't keep stats on that but TT had so many problems with their offense...Also "Mo" had about 4 or 5 spectacular dunks that 3 of the 10 should be on ESPN top 10 plays for the day tonite.. By far this was his best game and you can see how aggressive he was...a young Patrick Ewing in the making..Imagine if he stayed a Texas the next 3 years...his presence inside dictated the TT offense.. Evans Tech superstar gd would get a high pick up top...Shaka was brilliant. He made them switch on defense and then Bamba would be on Evans..Mamba gets low in a defensive stance on Evans 1. Can't shoot 2. Can't dribble and penetrate 3. Can't pass inside to anybody because he has the Eiffel Tower in front of him..so he is forced to pass behind him...Evans was no threat what so ever..the minute Shaka took Mo out for a rest..Evans dribbled and penetrated and scored a layup...Mambo went back in....great game.. Roach did play Evans man/man and shut him down...when you cut the head off of the point gd who is all american the rest of the team was out of sync...Shaka did an outstanding coaching job in preparing for the Raiders...and it does help to have the aircraft carrier anchored in your harbour..
I do want to apologize to Dog Lover and his wife. Imagine having to sit next to me during a game... he has
season tickets and great seats..probably wants to come to a game and relax with his wife...but with me I'm coaching on the sidelines with Shaka...
North Texas +6.5 over La Tech **
NT on the road is playing better then home...they shoot 3's but make a few this year then the past...42% of all NT;s scoring comes from the 3...with Smart and co I think they can give La Tech a game..La has lost 5 of last 6
So Miss 7.5 over Rice **
Rice on the road is so bad..Rice at home is just as bad...
Vir -8.5 over Ga Tech ***
Is there anything UVA does bad...on defense forget about it...Bennett the coach is amazing...they are still upset about lyr NCAA's Florida blowing them out..think he shows his kids that game everyday...holding teams down is a "source of Pride"...
UTA +1 over La Laf ***
Laf number one in conf ..just blowing people away ..5-0 in the Sun...15-3 overall...leading conf in so many stats..avg 85 pts a game...but wait a minute...you ain't cutting those nets down yet...not in UTA's house...UTA is 3-3 in conference...lost a few games to bad teams...lost many boxes for me...but tonite you show who the real team is the the conf...no way Laf is going to out play Hervey,Neal,Wilson,Hamilton,etc...UTA will own the bds tonite.. stopping Neal the best pt gd in the conf...UTA gets a home win...they are the better team despite The Cajuns record...
Texas St -6.5 over UL Monroe
back later..going to the game tonite..
MAAC
Marist +6 over Siena **
Parker Foxes leading scorer might not play he is avg 18 pts a game..he only payed a minute in their last game and scored 2 pts...and they beat Fairfield in OT...Saints in all sorts of turmoil. Rico kicked off,lost last 2 games,are 1-5 in the MAAC...Saints own the Foxes winning 4 of last 5 and 9 of last 10 up in Albany...but Saints have never been so bad..Foxes Knudson had 24 ..He can shoot.. Funk also..but they have to be wide open for shots..if Parker plays I will take the 6 points..if he doesn't will have to pass...because thats what the Foxes can't do w/o Parker..pass.
Rider +1 over Peter ***
Rider on a streak..have won 6 of last 8..have some scorers and on a roll...but Jordan their pt gd might be out,,,if he is out will pass again...if he is playing think Rider can outscore the defense minded Peacocks...
Niagara -3 over Quinn ****
Purple have won 4 straight..look out..Purple are coming..they have Scott who is one of the best players in conf..Dukes is also avg 20 pts a game..not sure how many teams in the country have 2 players avg 20...Prochet and Robb can also score..Purple need to play some defense..Quinn coming off a blowout loss to Rider .. Young is there top scorer but don't think thye can keep up with the Scotts and Dukes...
NKU -5.5 over Wisky Mil **
Zaga -7.5 over Mary *
Mary loaded...leads the nation in many stats...Zaga owns them beating them 3 times last yr...but game is at Zaga should be an outstanding game...to watch...
back later with UL Monore-Tex St game..and updates anybody hears on Parker and Jordan in the MAAC
yest not to good
4-5 -6*'s
damn Texas Tech..if I was sitting on the Raiders bench I could of won that game:mj07:
