Two early plays:

Fairfield -6

Stags return MAAC defensive player of the year Deng Gai and both starting guards from last year while Harvard has lost everyone.

Most of the Crimson's starters from last year graduated and their top scorer Patrick Harvey is academically ineligible.

Harvard is at the bottom of the Ivy while Fairfield should compete with Manhattan for MAAC title again this year.

Fairfield should win this one easily by double digits.



Hawaii -8

Hawaii has big man Phil Martin back but lost English to the draft. But 'Bows has a couple of Juco transfers that are suppposedly the real deal. And they're always real tough in this early Island tournament.

Cal SB will be good once conference play starts but are a good fade right now: their stud Fullove is out and team leader Nick Jones is suspended for first 8 games for playing semi-pro ball in Mexico over the summer. Plus SB never gets up for non-league play, losing last year to teams like Bucknell and worse.

Will post record tomorrow, not looking good for Hofstra pick right now.

I'm on Fairfield -6.5 (-110).........good write up


you know your stuff

 

[superbook]

Glad to hear you MAAC fans like the Stags too.

Yesterday 1-1

YTD: 7-2

 

[dogman]

A lot of off season turmoil with the Stags-hope it's not a distraction.Some serious NCAA rules violations have yet to be resolved.

 

[superbook]

Dogman -- The CT Post broke that story in August....probably more a distraction for coach O'Toole than the current players.

Also forgot that these two played against each other last year to open their seasons: Harvard won 69-67. So revenge is an angle and Stags won't take Crimson too lightly.

Haven't seen a total but his game will be way under 130. Harvard can't score and Fairfield coach preaches D.

For what it's worth, I like this play a lot. Harvard looks like they are going to be terrible this year. Also thinking about Rider at home against a Brown team that doesn't look nearly as good as last year. Good luck tonight.

 

[superbook]

Heyward --

Rider returning four starters including star Johnson. Brown should be bad but they have played one regular season game (vs #12 Texas) which is to their advantage at this point as this is Rider's first game.

I actually thought Brown would lose worse to Texas...that and the one game advantage makes me lay off this one.

Late money moving against me.

Late money isn't always right, Superbook. I'm with ya, think Fairfield gets 'em tonight.
