Hi, It's VR again. It's Friday, which means One more day till Saturday. There's some great games on tap for Saturday. But before we get to saturday we got one more night to pick up a "W".
It's been a good week so far. No plays to add to the record for Thursday, but a few leans that you guy's played hit, which is always good. So here we go,
Manhattan @ Fairfield -20
I've been following Fairfield for a very long time, I really like Head Coach Ed Cooley. He's one great HC that nobody knows. Fairfield plays in the MAAC Conference, "Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference", and let me tell you there's some GREAT players in this conference. The reason the MAAC gets great players is because the majority of the players aren't in SIZE, big enough to play at Big schools in the Northeast. So they end up playing for these under the radar schools. I promise you, there's really good players on Fairfield and in the MAAC. Last year Siena won this conference, got into the Dance and won a few games. This year in 2011, Fairfield is last years Siena !
Sophmore Guard for Fairfield Derek Needham ( 5-11, 180 ), this kid "Gets Off" daily ! He has won MAAC Player Of The Week Twice this season. Senior Forward Yoral Hawkins is coming into tonights match-up coming off TWO Double-Doubles.
Fairfield allowed 109 points in there LAST TWO wins, Remaining at NO.2 in the NATION in scoring defense. That's a great stat ! Number Two in the country, including in that are all the BCS schools. Don't sleep on Fairfield, there 15-4 overall, 8-1 conference.
Manhattan, beat Georgia in November. I promise you as a man, it don't mean anything. The past month or so, Georgia is not the same team as back then. Manhattan has THREE wins, there last two games they have scored a combined 103 points. This team is awful ! Really, Really bad. They can't score, remember Fairfields "D". Manhattan can't play defense. 60% of Manhattan's scoring comes from Fresh, Soph.
I believe the Final score tonight is 78-48 Fairfield
Fairfield -20
51-23 ats overall
3-1 Money line
Good luck guy's, this will be the only play for Friday.
