Agreed on Wash. St. This will probably be a wake up call for Baylor. They beat Notre Dame in what will probably be one of Notre Dame's coldest shooting games this season. Baylor only won by 4 even though they shot 41% from the field versus Notre Dame's 34% with 2 of Dame's starters going 3-22 from the field. I'm not saying I Has Lox... but I see Baylor just struggling to stay in this one.

I like you picks cook, except for Iona. Iona is really bad and doesn't seem to have gotten the hang of their new system. They are 0-6 and coming off loses to Jackson State and South Carolina State (who both have one win).

Delaware is a better team, despite a 0-3 record. All three loses are to solid mid major teams and each game has been competitive. Delaware is not good by any means, but they are definitely the better team here, imo.

Iona

11/10 at R Morris L 72-66
11/14 at Princeton L 66-58
11/18 at #1 UNC L 107-72
11/20 at ODU L 74-63
11/23 SC St L 81-76
11/24 Jackson St L 74-70

Delaware

11/11 at Marist L 89-78
11/17 at Rider L 76-71
11/27 Hampton L 51-50

I think my reasoning went something like this: Iona has been in every game they played. They scored 72 points against UNC.... losing by 35, but clearly they are at least able to put the ball in the rim. They are playing at home. While DELAWARE LOST TO FREAKING MARIST!!!

Also, two of your "mid-majors" come from this conference: Niagara, St. Peter's, Loyola (MD), Marist, Rider, Manhattan, Siena, Fairfield, Canisius, Iona. Does the MAAC really count as a "mid-major"? Thought that was reserved for the MWC, WAC, C-USA, and these days the MVC.

Point taken about the MAAC.

I don't think Marist is as bad as you make them out to be, the lost to Houston by 6 and beat Richmond and Bucknell. They lost a bunch off their NIT team from last year, but they still have some good experience. Those are ok wins, nothing spectacular, but not bottom 50 losses to programs like South Carolina State and Jackson State.

Marist and Rider were preseason 4th and 5th in the MAAC, Iona was a distant 8th, and there was a huge drop off from 7th to 8th.

I was probably a little harsh to Jackson State there, they are not bottom 50. South Carolina State may be bottom 25 though.

I need to butt in to say that indeed..Marist is at least a decent team this year and better than at least half of the NCAA.

That has nothing to do with my opinion of the game or anything but their basketball program is respectable this year.

So we can all agree on Washington State as the top play tonight.

Are you getting Iona and Marist confused or something?

CardShark, I have the Rice game being played in Iowa City, Iowa. How does that change your thoughts on the game?

Well then.... I got owned. Instead of a home game for Rice, it is a 90 min drive from e. Ill. I think it changes it to a "no-bet" with e.Ill being the slight fav. As I said before, I believe that Rice is a fav on a neutral court. They question is by how much, and how much HFA does E.Ill get playing in Iowa City. Why are they playing this meaningless game btwn teams that can't win in Iowa City?
