Weber St -4 over Sacramento St **** strong play
Some might being saying what am I doing going from my beloved MAAC in the east coast to the Big Sky conf out in the west. Takes awhile to re-figure all my numbers when you enter a new conf but I did yesterday when I played NAU- Mont St. I really liked NAU over Mont St and played it.Game was closer then I thought but I won. when I went to post it I didn't realize the 5.00 pm start was est. I thought the game would go off at 8.00est.No time to post but thank god I made the play.Anyway looking at the Big Sky and breaking it down,I fell in love with tonites game with Weber. I have a little connection in this game because the leading scorer for Sac St played at a local juco here a few yrs back.
Weber beat Sac early in the yr 88-68.They dominated the bds and Webers 6'9 center, Valeika had a career nite.Weber won the big Sky conf with there win the other nite.They will host the post season tourney.Sac was elimanated from the post season by Portlands 100-73 loss so this game tonite is there last.Sac does play better at home but they have lost 5 of last 6 and 11 of last 13 games.Weber with tonites win claims the Big Sky title even though they got the 1 seed already.
Weber has a big front line with Valiek,Patton,and Billings at 6'8,6'8 and 6'9.They have one of the best gds in Silveria who leads the conf in asst-to-ratio. They have the best FG% defense in the conf and should control the bds tonite vs this small Sac team.Sac has 5'10 Hargrove who played at SCCC near me.He's there top scorer and I thought he could play in the MAAC.had grade problems and transferred to another juco i think. But he could play. the problem is he has no one around him.Leath and Groce are 5'10 and 6'2 and there other scorers. They have Bausely and Alamo who are 6'7 and 6'9 and just avg double d's.No depth and are a poor shooting team.There biggest problem is there defense.
Like Weber to win this road game by double digits.The one thing that i worry about a little is Weber is the host,has the 1st round bye and late game and maybe doesn't need to play 100% tonite.But I really feel if Weber plays its "b" game and Sac its "A" game Weber still wins and covers.
It's an off the beaten path game..and I like Weber big...
Georgetown -3.5 over Cuse ***
Spent mucho time on this game.BE title on the line.They have the No 1 defense,scoring margin and FG% is an amazing 53%..If Cuse plays its 2-3 the Hoyas will be able to dismantle it with there hi-low attack.If Cuse goes man who gds Green...The dome will be loud and the Cuse team gets a big home court advantage tonite. The students hate the Hoyas..big rivals here. Hoyas haven't been in this position in awhile and want revenge.Cuse fans will be wearing there "Your Momma's a Hoya" t-shirts.whens the last time those t-shirts came out.I'll be back later for a few more reasons why I like Hoyas.With UNC,Florida and Wisky going down this weekend thats enough incentive alone..but this game is about matchups...be back later..
Did pretty well yest...I passed on the manhattan-Iona game because of the dubois-Austin status. Again they both played about 6 or 7 minutes.Dubois came in,made a mistake on defense and Coach R took him out..he never played again. I'm not sure if it was because he was sick or in the doghouse.Austin also ??
I was watching a few games and forgot to tape it. I'm sure the announcers mentioned something. so if anyone heard why.. can you please post it here.
If you had Manhattan[i had them in a parlay] -8 and lost please do not read the following. If you had Iona +8 read and look up in the sky and say "gracias dio"..
MC is up 11 with 21 seconds on the clock shooting 2 FT's.MC subs almost the entire team.Adams a 6'8 sub throws 2 bricks up...iona rebounds...fast breaks..shoots misses..MC rebounds..but instead of just holding the ball the Mc player takes off for a fast break..Iona reaches from behind and knockes the ball loose. think maybe theres 10 seconds left...and MC still has a 11 pt lead..loose ball..Iona player throws up a 3....swish.. MC player goes to take it out and just throws a lazy pass right under the basket to an iona player. he turns,takes one step and hits a layup..Score is now 71-65.. 2 seconds left MC throws it in and the buzzer goes off. Thank god in my parlay i lost another game in it.and thank god I passed...I would love to be in Vegas at one of the sportsbooks rooms on a big screen...I'm sure all the Manhattan backers were on line already to cash in.. be back later...or maybe no one in Vegas plays these games..
