Buffalo -7.5 over Kent ***
Not sure why Buffalo isn't winning big and covering with almost everyone back from last yrs team. Williams is one of the top scorers avg 18 pts. MBallo is the best rebounder and was the Def POY in MAC . Segu is the best pt gd in the conf avg 5.2 assist a game. They ended their season winning 10 of 11 last games in the conf. Came in 2nd . They avg almost 80 pts a game and are ranked 12th in the nation. So what gives? the lines they have and lost are -7,-14,-15,etc and they are winning but not covering. Then they play crosstown rival Canisius and lose to them 65-64. They do have a problem playing defense but have to much offense to off set there defensive side. They beat Akron last year 81-67 and the Zips have a much better defense this year. But think with Segu at the point he should be able to find Williams and Mballa . This team was the pre-season fav to win the MAC and maybe they have been reading those headlines. Think they wake up now at this time of the season. Kent can't shoot 3's and has trouble on offense. But they are holding teams to 62 pts a game ranking them 33rd in the nation on defense . But Segu at the helm had 7 assists last yr vs the Zips. Think Bulls get a double digit win tonight.

St Bonny -6 over lil Dukies ***
Almost the same as Buffalo. Pre-season fav with loads of talent. Lofton is one of the best gds in A-10. They have the air craft carrier in Osunniyi at 6'10 . The 2 best wings in the A-10 in Holmes and Adaway. They have the best x's and o's coach in Schmidt .. talent wise Bonnies have 4 starters better then anyone lil dukies have. is it over confidence or reading to much pre-season press . not sure but another team that has talent and needs to wake up .
Canisuis -4 over Rider **
Manhattan over Siena **
Niagara -1.5 over Peter **
Peter stopped at the last road stop on that 5 hour bus ride. They are going to an afternoon tour of the "Maids of the Mist" and forget they have the Purple tonight.

Fresno +1.5 over Nev ***
Bulldogs just beat Utah St . they have tough losses vs Boise,Utah,and Cal .. Nev just lost to Wyoming think they get a win tonite

I concur amd on Buffalo also played St Bonnie's, my wife is from Duquesne, and this winter has grown very long with us huddled down in tight quarters. So as she's watching Hallmark tonight, I get additional satisfaction out of this glorious victory!

Duquesne always seems to be the 12th team in the A-10 ..think the last time they made the NCAA's was in the late 70's . and not sure about having a winning record in the A-10 ..its been a hard luck team. Just hope they continue with that bad luck tonight. But the school is an outstanding academic school so your wife should be proud

Nice call on both of these although i pissed away my Buffalo loots on $350 worth of overs.
Please note that Ohio U lost Jason Carter a pivotal player seemed like a serious knee injury. Team looked like shit after he went out . Also notes on Buffalo, they really looked bad, Kent State worse. Neither team could shoot , and it wasn't the defense they had plenty of wide open looks that weren't close, and ,missed layups. That was ugly if you had the over.... Segu looked bad, every part of his game, if thinking of him as any chance of next level talent. Thanks hope this is helpful down the road.
