Still hurting from the Tenn-Chat loss.Boy that hurt.What bothers me more is I went back again today and still would play the Mocs big.Katalynas only played 26 minuts and wasn't in foul trouble.Not sure what that was about.Didn't say he was hurt.Anyway poor job on my part.Need to rebound tonite.
Prov -3.5 over Nova **
Nova lost a tough one at ND on the rd.Have to go on the rd again.Loss of Sumpter will show tonite.But Frazier finally woke up and had a huge game with blocks and rebounds.Lowery looks awesome.Nova looked great attacking ND's man defense.In the last 6 minuts of that game they scored on 7 straight plays attacking the basket.But Prov with its 2-3 takes away there penetration.Gomes and co pull out a home win.
Georgetown -4.5 over Rutgers **
I think I'm crazy taking the Hoyas but just maybe this team is for real.Bowman is tough.Cook is solid at the gd.Green is one of the BE's top freshman with a great shooting touch.Thompson is using his 3 fd attack taking out 7'2 Hibbert and replacing him with Owens.RU lost a heart breaker to Pitt.Shields hits the fadeaway 3 at the buzzer to tie it.But then they can hit in the OT.Walters makes a huge coaching blunder not fouling and then down by 3 has Shields drive to the hoop.
Douby and Shields are avg 17 and 15 pts.But Shields at the MCI center the past few yrs is 3-29.
Lyr Hoyas won by 6.I see the same thing this yr and RU doesn't get any offense in the paint.Only Bailey can score.Could be 4 gds vs 3 fowards tonite.
FIU +6 over LaSalle **
Almonte has been an impact player for FIU.NiDiaye is avg 13 pts and Burnett around 7.Almonte leads in scoring,rebounding,assits.Matias came back from missing a few games.He's avg 14 pts a game.Good outside shooter.Sergio the former asst at UTEP has these kids playing great and covering.
LaSalle has one of the most underated players in the country in Smith.Like Almonte he leads the Explorers in everything.Avg 23 pts a game,can stick a 3,rebound,etc.Thomas is the 6'2 gd that can shoot.
Think FIU can keep this close.It's a Sun Conf team vs an A-10 team.
Oklahoma St -16.5 over Mizzou ***
Think they come out smoking.Mizzou has been sleeping at home.Tonite they get an awakening.
Bama +5.5 over Arkansas ***
Bama ats is terrible.Hogs have 4 guys that shoot 3's from everywhere.Brewer,Ferg,Famu,etc.But inside game is questionable.Bama is loaded.Have played terrible on the rd.At Wisky they looked so bad.But I don't think Hogs can dictate to the Bama greyhounds.Bama won by 4 lyr @Ark. Think the line is way off and Bama could win outright.Bama is ranked 257th ats going 3-8.That scares me but they can run with anybody with guys like Shelton,Winston,Davis,etc.
St Mary's -8 over AF *
GL tonite.Sorry about the Mocs yest.
