ECU -5.5 over ODU **
ECU lost Gardiner the best player in the conf to transfer portal Big time loss But they have Newton who plays the gd-wing and is on fire avg 20 pts a game and 4.4 apg's . This team has outstanding ball movement and last yr led the nation in assists to points. Needs tp play some defense but ODU can't score. They avg 62 points a game ranking them 329th in scoring. They also can't shoot . These guys just played on a neutral court and ECU won by 13.. think the same tonite

Mississippi -15 over Rider ****
Miss likes to beat teams like Rider. They beat UNO 82-66,someone else 93-68 Elon 74-56 They did lose to marquette by 6 though. Rider doesn't present a threat. They also can't score ranking them in the 300's in FG% scoring 3pt% etc. Miss has Joiner and Fagan solid gds plus Blackfield and Brooks at 6'8 and 7'0 . inside Rider post defense is in trouble think Rebels run it up and win like they did with UNO and Elon.

Siena +3 -Army **
Although this will be the 4th or 5th game w/o Pickett think the saints have figured out it out But they have been getting blown out . By Georgetown ,Yale,Delaware. by 18,18,16, and 75-47 vs st bonnies. But they did beat Harvard . Army offense is just avg and has no big front courts. They have an avg offense and think the Saints could actually get a win tonight.

Rice -3 over Tex St ***
Rice has almost all gds as their top scorers . Tx St has all wings and gds that score .Owls do have a 6'11 post player Fielder who avgs 12 points a game. So tonight you have 9 gds and one post player. Rice at home are tough and that is the edge . Tx St has 5'10 Harrell who controls the ball 95% of the time. he about 5'8 and a waterbug. Has a nice outside shot if not contested . Small their 6'9 skinny fd is really a guard but can shoot, He doesn't like to rebound even though he is the Bobcats tallest player. Tx State plays man to man pressure defense and that is why they won the Sun conf last yr But Rice has 3 solid gds led by Evee. . Mullins and Pierre I think can handle the pressure . Think Rice at home and maybe having a big man in Fieldler put them over the edge .. tough game because hate backing Rice who lost to Fordham last week . Both teams were blown away by some big teams houston beat Rice 78-48 and LSU beat Tx st 84-59 Think home court and Owls 3 gds can sneak out a 4 or 5 point home win
