Marqfan BIG EAST 2017/2018

Pick # 55

xavier -6

xavier has been really banged up the last 2 games. Everyone has some sort of injury. UNI is playing tough and are playing at home. Most people are talking about "upset alert". I disagree, Gates and Mucura have passed concussion protocol and returned to practice Thursday. Xavier will want to make a statement after close wins before the big eas play. I see this one close in the first half with xmen winning by 10 at the end!

I was on the same but damn nice job predicting exactly how this played out.

Thanks jeff

Pick #56

manhattan +21

seton hall is going to win this game but I don't think they will take it very seriously with big east play looming next. Manhattan will give it their best vs a ranked team. I think the jaspers are going to hit just enough shots to cover the spread. Hall by 18!

Pick #57

xavier -3

marquette can shoot the lights out from behind the arc, but that's it! They are to small to take it to the rim and they can't rebound. Xavier can do both. Marquette will give it their all, but will come up short. Xavier by 10!

[G Trooper]

This is treason!! Lol goodluck man. I've been checking out your thread. Good work

[Marqfan]

Thanks for checking in trooper. I love Marquette, but the front court is weak. Xavier's front court is strong and their guards are great too. I just can't see Marquette beating Xavier on the boards with Helt, Froeling and John. I see this game playing out like marquettes game vs Georgia at home. Marquette didn't hit enough three's and Georgia was hitting inside and out. I definitely will be fine if I'm wrong, but I think this is a strong play for Xavier!

[teecee]

Any thoughts on Marquette being able to get threes off over much bigger guards?

[Marqfan]

Teecee

howard does not need much room to get off a shot, he also has a quick release. Rowsey is the master at getting fouled with a pump fake. Hauser is tall enough to not have much problems. They will make three's but I don't think they will make enough to cover.

Pick #58

georgetown +4

Ok, if you have been following me, than you are probably laughing. I have been fading gtown for most of the nonconference schedule. I see a great opportunity here. Georgetown has covered the spread thelast 2 games. They surprised me with almost, should have, won vs Syracuse. I think these kids will be ready for this one. They will cover, and maybe win, by being dominant on the boards. Georgetown averages 41 rebounds a game. If Derrickson stays out of foul trouble, gtown will win! Gtown by 4!

Great night. I always used to think it would be much more profitable to focus on one conference. You are certainly mastering yours. Tough to fade your team when they are a dog. I tip my cap to you for that.

[Marqfan]

Thank you sir. It does take the bite away winning money when your team lost. I like to be realistic and I will bet with and against marquette if I see a play.

Pick #59

providence +6

Providence is banged up with Cartwright and diallo questionable for tonight. Ponds looks like a first team all big east but will need some help with Lovett out for today's game. Looking at the stats, providence has a better shooting percentage with both teams within one point on pts per game and rebounds. I think bullock and Lindsey will by ready for this game and will keep providence under the number. If Cartwright or diallo play, than it would be an easy cover. Providence by 3!

Yeah, tough for them to make enough 3's for them to cover. 38 3's and only 14 free throws. P-U.

[Marqfan]

Marquette is literally one dimensional this year. Front court is raw and not ver athletic. They will be ok, but it is frustrating. Joey Hauser and Nebraska transfer Morrow will change the front court next year.

Nice win tonight. One that lacked any anxiety. I wish you continued success.

Thanks kid

Pick #60

xavier -14.5

i like Xavier to cover at home. Their shooting percentage is 9% better and they average 15 more points per game. I can't see DePaul keeping this one under 20. Xavier could have the cover at half. Xavier by 21!

Pick #61

seton hall -12

St. John’s had a hard time with how physical providence played them, now they play an even more physical team in SH. Delgado is as physical as them come. Carrington, Rodriquez and Powell should be a nightmare for St. John’s to guard. I just do not see this one being close. Seton hall by 17!

37-22-2 (12.8 units)

I am shocked that SJU was able to hang in there without their 2 best players.

[Marqfan]

I agree, Lovett and ponds out should have been a SH blood bath. Oh well, on to the next day

happy new year everyone!!!!

no plays today and good luck with your action

[ChrisPicks]

have a great new year.
