Wed MAC / Horizon

[Full court press]

I went a disturbing 2-2 (-2.82) yesterday after the Vandy OT loss and a total failure to predict the pace of the Indiana game. Thought the Hoosiers could speed up Wisc but I was clearly very wrong.

Start off with :

Loy Chic +2 (1)

Stat wise these two are almost identical in many ways and both have stumbled recently after good starts to the season. This game is going to be tight so I like the points. I'm interested to see if Poonie has a good take on this game.

W Mich -2' (2)

Broncs played much, much better in their close loss to OU. I think they move forward here. Toledo has some decent talent but has to be one of the most erratic teams anywhere. You just never know what Rocket team will show up. Like the short chalk in this one.

 

[Mr. Poon]

My inclination is that Loyola should win this game whether it is played on UIC's court or a neutral site in the middle of Lake Michigan. However, I may be an 0-fer on Loyola bets this year. Was against them early in the year as I was convinced it would be another down campaign for them. Then they looked better, I side with them and the go in a complete hole last few times out. Also I think Moser gets them up for certain 'big' games a little better. They played really well in a loss to Sparty, road win at Valpo and handling city foe DePaul. I think he'll have the Ramblers ready tonight.

Thank you Poon :0008


Ball St +11 FH (2)

The Zips have their arch rival Kent St on deck Saturday. With that in mind, we may see somewhat of a disinterested team tonight and especially the first half until Dambrot gets after them. They really played very poorly in the first half of the BG game two games back and may well stumble out of the gate again tonight.

Akron/ Ball St U 130' (1)

The Zips have been clamping down on defense and Ball St often struggles to score.

Toledo/ W Mich over 134' (2)

Both teams noot opposed to getting up and down the floor.

Buffalo -1' (1)

The Bulls really need a win and Kent is rebuilding mode and not the force in the MAC that they have been in years past. Also see above about the Flashes hosting Akron on Saturday

BG/ Miami Oh over 122 (2)

Miami defnds poorly enough to allow BG to put up some points tonight. Their 3 point defense is God awful to the pont that a Shitty NIU team hit 69% (9/13)from behind the arc. BG's Crawford and Henderson should go off on the Redhawks tonight.


Kent St/Buff under 130' (1)
Mich St/Penn St under 28' (First ten minutes) (1)

San Diego St -3' (1) to close it out
