A lot of games for a thursday but spent mucho time last nite and this morning doing these...
Pat Conf
Bucknell -8 over Holy Cross ***
This game is in Sojka Pavilion and will be rocking Buck has won I think 4 conf titles in a row..they are 10-3 at home and already beat HC 93-78 at Sojka,,did lose to HC 72-71 at HC...Bisons are in 2nd place in conf...they have the best player in Mackenzie and possible POY his partner Soto at gd is solid getting assists...inside they have Sestina ..they shoot the 3 well and defend..and that will be the Holy Cross problem tonite...there defense...think Mackenzie and company win this by double digits at home .
Lehigh -5.5 over Army **
American -8 over Navy **
Conf USA
Houston -12.5 over Smoo ****
Coogs had there 33 home streak broken last game...by UCF...another one starts tonite..Coogs clamp down on McMurray Smoos one true scorer...is Whitt playing tonite ??? he didn't play in Smoo's last game...if he is not playing Houston could send Smoo right back to Dallas on Interstate 5[ think that is the highway??}
CF -2.5 over Cinncy **
Sun Conf
Appa St -8 over Troy **
Troy w/o Varnardo is hurting big time..
Coastal -6 over So Bama **
Coastal has 6'7 Cuthberton who does everything..scores rebounds ,passes..just give him the ball on every possession...something good will happen...
Laf pk over ArkLR **
Laf has Gant and in last game vs LR he had 45 pts,and 11 bds in a 75-61 win...but LR's Tucker had 36 pts...LR has lost 4 straight..but think Gant will be to much for LR to handle..
UL Monroe -3.5 over Ark St *** over 151.5 *
Again like I said before about UL..these guys can score...they have the top scorer in the conf in Smith and probably POY...if he doesn't score he can see the floor like a pt gd...there best player is 6'6 Munnings who can rebound score and pass...these guys can shoot the 3 and never miss on the FT line...so why are they only 15-10..its there defense and playing on the rd where they are 3-11...Ark state plays defense worse then the Warhawks...they avg 73 pts a game and give up 77..UL gives up 75 pts a game...UL is coming off a loss to Coastal 97-91 and Ark beat So Bama 85-75..think with a Smith on the court he is the best player in the gym..will play the over for a small play too.
MAAC opening round of Tourney games in Albany NY
Marist -2.5 over Peter **
Tough game since Peter beat the Foxes twice already...Foxes current coach is now at Marist...he has lost to his former team 2 times already...Peter won @ Marist 65-59 and then went on to lost 8 straight..I can't see peter winning 3 in a row when you consider they have won 9 total games Think Parker and Funk and hopefully a few others score and Foxes get into 2nd round...
Fairfield -2 over Manhattan *
Both teams suck MC had lost a whole bunch in a row and then upset Quinn the other day... Stags a re in last place in conf but they have better overall players then manhattan...Stags ats record is bad at 4-10 ats...Jaspers are 7-3 in last 10...small play on Stags...
Niagara +1.5 over Monmouth *
Hawks have lost 4 in a row..Purple have lost 3 of last 4..Purple have Prochet inside and Rabb if he ever wakes up...should pass on this game or flip a coin..they lost to canisius last week and Purple beat the Griffs in there one win...
NJIT +12.5 over Lipcomb **
NJIT plays that Princeton offense that moves the ball,everybody touches it twice before they shoot...Lip is 24-6 but our Jersey boys are 21-11...Lip beat them the 1sr time 81-77..think Lip wims but NJIT keep it claose

6-6 -0.20
406 -375 -14.50
luv Houston big
and Bucknell
