Tuesday hoops...

[Box and one]

UMass +3 over UCF **
St Joes -3.5 over Princeton **

Houston +7.5 over URI ****
Ohio St -14 over Air force **

UTA -18 over Bradley *****
UTA on a roll despite losing to Texas in OT...Kervey and his team playing great despite their shooting...Bradley is bad...one of the worst offensive %,shooting,FT% 3 pt %..they rank in the mid 300's in all of those..defense is average..their top scorer thomas who avgs 10 pts a game is doubtful tonite..

Texas -23.5 over UTSA ***
Hate giving the Longhorns that many points to cover..but UTSA is bad and Shaka needs a blowout game..

Iona +7.5 over Tulsa ***
Its the same old thing.. Iona can score and shoot but gives up just as many...AJ English is a NBA prospect.. Williams can shoot. Much can score..after watching them friday nite score 101 vs marist I know thats not a good comparison but there is some talent...weak front line and vs a huge front line Iona could have problems..but don't think Tulsa has that...Tulsa can score but the Canes defense will have some problems...I know Valpo and Oregon beat them pretty bad..but think they have better talent and if AJ takes over look out..Iona could upset...just play a little defense guys..

Washington -5.5 over TCU **
Huskies big boys inside should dominte..

South Dakota St +3.5 over Minny **
I love those jackrabbits..

Stony Brook +7.5 over Notre Dame **
Would of liked about +9 but will settle with a touchdown and extra point...Warney inside is awesome..scores and rebounds..they lost in OT to Vandy..love Purifoy..think they give ND some trouble as long as Warney doesn't get into foul trouble..

Made the play anyway... didn't see it

Smoo -6.5 over Michigan ***

 

[Box and one]

Hofstra -1 over Siena *****
Pride have the better team....Saints played flat on Sunday and lost to Peter...but Green who is a great pt gd returns to Albany where he played when he was at Niagara. Tanksy also...and their coach...Pride's biggest problem before the year started was its front line...but 6'9 Gusty has answered that weakness avg's 9 bds per game...Saints coach Pastos has gone up against Mihalich many times when he was at Loy Md..
Having Green run your team and having the ball about 75% of the time is the key..he can shoot,score,penetrate and is probably the best gd in the CAA...don't see the saints stopping him...

not sure if I will be back on time to post tonite...like hofstra big

yest 7-4 +8*'s
overall 61-55 +39*'s

Watched the Iona-Tulsa game.. Tulsa scoring at will blowing Iona away.. Iona again can't play defense and I am kicking myself in the head because i know this. tulsa up 20-25..then with 5 minutes left Iona goes on a 17-1 run and is down by 6, gets and offense rebound and goes up to shoot..gets fouled..no call..seconds later on the missed shot they call Iona on a foul...terrible call..it could of been a 4 pt game with 40 seconds...anyway I lost..at least I got my money's worth in the loss...
