First of all let me aplogize about yest's banner day.Overall 4-7.But 0-4 on my strong plays 4-2 on the med. plays.I wish I could say it was a typo.Pretty bad job capping.Will rebound today hopefully.Like So Bama big.

So Bama -7 over Marist
Marist has lost 3 in a row.To Ga Tech,Cent Mich and Fairfield.They are playing better on the road then at home though.But they are hurting for bodies.They are down to 7 scholarship players.And Ellerbee the pt gd has scored 4 pts in his last 2 games since his ankle sprain.He was their second leading scorer avg 13.Eppehimer is their leading score avf 20 pts a game.He is a 6'8 wiry kid with a nice touch.He cannot post up.Handy is also 6'8 and must play the post.He is a foward and not very strong.Young has really stepped up and is playing good.He is avg 9 pts and 7 bds.Bennett is the 2 gd or pt gd.He is in trouble vs quick gds.He is avg 12 pts and leads the team with assits at 4.But he is turnover prone.The 2 local kids are avg playing over there heads.
So Bama has a new coach.Pellfrey.Donovans asst at Florida took over for marine sgt Weltich.That tells you something about the Jags style of play.Uptempo.pressing,trapping,fast breaking,etc.And he has the players to do it.[I'm going to post this and come back in an hour] I don't want to lose it. sorry

part 2
So Bama has the Williams.Demtrice is a 6'2 gd that does everything.He can score 15 pts a game,4 bds and 6 assits.Plays tough defense and has 29 steals.The other Williams is a 6'6 fd who avg 13 pts and 4 bds.But juco tranfer Young is there leading scorer avg 18 pts and shooting 45%[36-80] from the 3.Sormonte is the frenchmen who can shoot the 3[15-35]
Ivy,Bedden are all 6'6 can can run the floor.
Bama had Georgia the other day down by only 6 pts with 2 minuts left.Then they fouled and Georgia scored 8 pts from the FT.
So bama will press.Marist will have trouble vs it.Esp. if Ellerbee is not 100%.Bama fds are so much quicker then Eppehimer and Handy.
Marist doesn't have to worry about a post threat.But the jags have greyhounds.Marist doesn't.If the Jags pressure enough the Red Foxes do not have the depth and stamina to stay with them.
Jags play good defense,can hit the 3,and will out run the foxes.Jags weakness is rebounding.But Marist doesn't have any top rebounders either.
Jags are 3-0 at home.They beat a Georgia St team by 13 at home.Geo St is better then Marist right now.
Also Marist is disappointed.They found out this week that talented gd Monogan who was shot in a bar this summer is out for the yr.He has been practicing with his jaw wired and they anticipated him ready this week.But complications have developed and he was red shirted.There is no truth to the rumor he couldn't pronounce "Poughkeepsie" with his jaw wired.
Strong play on So bama today

Also going against my Giants in football Colts -4.5 and taking the Knicks -2 over Miami. GL
