    Analysis

    Felt like breaks had been going my way a while in this sport but certainly not the case Thursday. Two stinging losses (both looked promising for so long); the second probably should not have played. Would have been a more productive night throwing on my polar bear suit and rolling around in mud -- don't judge. Things I now consider locked in life: Don't bet angry and don't go to Costco hungry ($$$$$). Yale won the first meeting by 15 and may again but has a mega-rivalry game 24 hours later at Harvard for solo first in the Ivy (if both win tonight). Dartmouth is on a few extra days rest, and it's the home game of the season for the Big Green.

    Picked: Feb 13 @ 3:23pm

    Analysis

    In what could be the matchup of the day Siena will take on Quinnipiac in the MAAC. This is a key game as both are separated by just a half game in the MAAC standings. For Siena this is a one game break after playing three of their last four on the road. They then will go back on the road for two more games against Marist and Merrimack. Look for Siena to take advantage early as Quinnipiac is coming of their lowest scoring output of the season with just 56 points against Niagara. Take Siena.

    Spread
    Picked: Feb 13 @ 3:50pm

    Analysis

    Though Merrimack has demonstrated the most consistency in the Metro-Atlantic, Saint Peter's has come close, and the better efforts from Bashir Mason's no-nonsense Peacocks have been Jersey City-tough. Allowing just 67.9 ppg, SP can always resort to grinding defense, but can rely on points from steady senior G Brent Bland 14.4 ppg), who has scored as many as 27 in a game (vs. Fairleigh-Dickinson) this season. The Peacocks have also shown they can win on the road in this league, as they did last Thursday at Manhattan, while streaky Sacred Heart has slipped back again after a recent five-game surge. Now it's three losses on the spin (after an earlier six-game slump), and over-reliance perhaps on top scorer G Anquan Hill (17.7 ppg). Play SP.

    QUINN +3.5

    Spread
    Picked: Feb 13 @ 4:15pm

    Analysis

    Quinnipiac (10-5 MAAC) leads the MAAC in scoring and has won three straight entering this crucial conference game at Siena (10-4 MAAC). Siena has won six of seven, but the Saints could struggle offensively against a Quinnipiac team holding opponents to 42.5 percent from the field. The Bobcats also have won four of the past five meetings. Look for reigning MAC Player of the Year Amaari Monroe (15.6 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 2.3 apg) to at least keep Quinnipiac close.

    Picked: Feb 12 @ 9:24pm

    Analysis

    Michigan State has been off all week since its 85-82 OT win against Illinois last Saturday, and now Sparty has to knock off the rust on the road against a Wisconsin team that’s absolutely buzzing after an OT road win against that same Fighting Illini squad. Though the Badgers were able to storm back from a 12-point second half deficit against Illinois I’m not sure they have addressed some defensive shortcomings. That could lead to a higher-scoring game, even against a elite defensive team like Michigan State. If the Badgers are a step faster on offense and Jeremy Fears can cut through the Wisconsin defense like Keaton Wagler did there's a real bucket-for-bucket game script that could take us over this total.
