1* Monmouth Hawks -3.5
The Hawks have dropped two straight, the last one being a blow out loss on their home floor to lowly Drexel. MLK Day, national TV, stand alone tip time. Perfect spot for King Rice to get his guys to bounce back, and get back in the CAA race. The Huskies are coming off a huge win over conference leader Elon, so regression is expected.
1* Drexel/Towson Under 125.5
Two of the slowest tempos in the country. Two terrible offenses. Two well above average defenses. In fact, Drexels defense is the best in the CAA since conference play started. This is the rock fight, of rock fights. It's a race to 60 points. I'd love Towson in this game, if they didn't go to Elon next.
1* Maine Black Bears -2.5
This is it. The Bears will get their first home win vs a DI opponent today. New Hampshire is on leg 3 of a roadie, and Maine is returning home for the first time in nearly 3 weeks. Perfect spot vs a bad New Hampshire team.
2* Quinnipiac Bobcats -12.5
Not only have the Bobcats dropped two straight in conference play, this is a revenge spot from Jan 2 where Manhattan beat Quinny by 1. Absolute smashing is incoming. Coming off playing the two top teams in the conference, the Cats get the really poor Jaspers to beat up on.
2* Penn/Harvard Over 148.5
Both offenses should get whatever they'd like. Both should get to 75+. Penn has hit that number in their last three road games. Fran still knows how to coach offense, and very little defense. This should be a great game, with offense in abundance.
1* Merrimack Warriors +7.5
Marist needs a win to pull even at the top of the conference, but I think their defense is a little overrated at this point. Their non con SOS was bad, and they padded some numbers. Since conference play has started, they have the best D statistically, but have played all bottom feeders in the league, except for Quinny and St Pete, and they lost both those games, albeit they were both on the road. Foxes probably win and hold home court, but by 8 is asking a lot of a not very good offense.
1* Columbia/Yale Over 150.5
Columbia seemingly either scores, or turns the ball over nearly every possession. They have the 60th best effFG% in the country but only the 162nd most efficient. Yale doesn't force the issue by any means on defense, but their offense is very good, and will turn TOs into points. I think this game gets into the 160s.
2*George Washington/George Mason Over 153.5
Mason played a VERY weak non con, and padded defensive numbers at that time. GW brings an offense that loves to run, and can put the ball in the bucket. Mason can score too, they just look to get set up in the half court to do so, which is fine by me, cause they are plenty effiecient to go slow. This is the game of the day for me, and should be a shoot out.
