Georgetown +4 over Butler **
Think the aircraft carrier Govan can keep the Hoya's close..hate that they are 10-1 and beat up so many cupcakes but Butler has played a lot of home games.. Ewing scares me as a coach...butI'll take the home dog..

XU -3 over Marquette ****
Marq probably has the best 2 gd tandem in the country..Rousey and Howard are spectacular...the other kid Hou? I watched hit 3's from all over...but XU plays tough defense...Macura is awesome..but his partner Bluitt is in the ozone...they are deep and balanced scoring..with the 2 Marq gds think this is a close game...but XU is a much better overall team and won't be intimated by the home crowd...XU FG% and 3 pt shooting is outstanding..

Utah St -12 over San Jose ***
SJ hasn't beaten the Aggies in the last 20 times...talk about a dominated series...last yr these 2 teams were tied for 8th place in the Mt West...but Aggies have afew returning gds that have some talent..Merril and McEwin both 6'4 ..but their big surprise is Isby the juco transfer..he is avg 13 pts a game and in his last 2 games he has24 and 26 pts..Aggies at home have one of the best records...on the road they won 1 conf game and were 4-12 away...they are at home and San Jose doesn't have the gds to challenge the Aggies..San Jose does have a good rebounding team but think the Aggies win big..

last time 1-0 +2
94-78 +59*'s

Box, does last year's dominance by Marq. have any factor in your handicap of this year's game? Sorry you're not going to the Kans. game. KU backers may rival the number of UT backers. GL and Happy New Year! DL

Dog lover..absolutely...I don't want to call it revenge because we use that word to much..but past performances does have a play when I capp...lyr Marq beat XU both times 83-61 and 94-84..one of those loses is when Blue was injured..I think he missed 5 or 6 games...Marq top 3 scorers are back from last yr..Rousey,Howard and Hauser[couldn't remember his name had 20,15 and 12..in that game.. but the years before XU won at Marq and by 10,18..20 and 4 home and away} Golden Warriors are going to be in many games this yr in the Big East with those gds...but I have XU as one of the top 5 teams in the country..last yr final 8,this year final 4.. Besides Macura and Blue they have a talented front line of 6'7.6'8,6'9 and 6'10 fds...Gates,jones,Kantor Marshall,etc depth..Marq lost 3 players that scored a 1,000 pts..they did upset Nova last yr...should be a great game...also like XU's coach Mack..think he is one of the top 5 coaches in college...
Wish I could see Kansas this week...and your right..I was there 2-3 years ago when Embid played..half of Ewin center was a sea of blue...I'll catch you the next game...my wife kayaks every wed on Lake JBJ...this is there big x-mas party...if I say I'm going to see Kansas I will be found floating in the lake...

It's supposed to be pretty cold on LBJ Friday. A nice warm arena has got to be a better choice! Catching a cold with bronchitis that will last a minimum of two weeks should be something for a nurse to consider.
After all, we "old guys" are susceptible to all kinds of viruses.
