Ucon +9.5....lets just start by saying no 1 has liked fading ucon much more than me and im sure i will do it again before it is all said and done... so lets just forget about the numbers that scream to you that nova is the play, i know what they are ive seen them and yes im even aware nova is ranked pretty high (what exactly i dont know or care)...on to the game...Nova fast paced up and down style is just what the doctor ordered for ucon, lets be real there offense struggles horribly in the half court set ucon likes to run and nova will accommodate them ....longer stronger teams are what bother ucon and luckily that is not nova's game....everyone was ready to get behind ucon last game with there coaches return right idea wrong time, did you see how pissed coulhon was after that game? C'mon the guy is a legend if you dont think his guys will be ready to play this 1 you are crazy...ucon is on life support and while im not convinced they are anything special as ive been saying before anyone would believe me they were getting to much respect, now the tables have turned and as much as they were getting to much love now we have a overreaction the other direction (lets call this the payton manning effect)...bottom line is we should have another big east battle on our hands and i will sit back and feel good with the 9.5....
UL Monroe +8.....this is a team that over the last month has either won or been competitive against every team in this conf with the exception of the troy game (im willing to overlook 1 terrible game) and there playing a Ark st team that well yes is a quality team can be had like every1 else in this conf.....to me Ark st for some reason is starting to garner more respect than they deserve....bottom line is there really isnt any way i see this getting out of hand Monroe should compete and wouldnt surprise me if they win of coarse i dont need that just a strong effort......
Rider +4.....love st. peters defense but the last few of there games i caught they were incredibly sloppy with the rock...Rider can score and i think they will put out a much better effort than the last time these clubs met w st. peters getting a blowout win in Rider....
should be another fun day, gl to every1
