[QUOTE=6pounder;32845]BigPappa, I played Wisc Milwaukee. Niagara lost 4 starters and is picked to finish 8th in the MAAC. Their coach teaches an up tempo style but their perimeter players are mostly unproven. Niagara's returning big men have done very little in their careers and UWM returns 6 players that started at least 1 game last year when they went 20-14. The market agrees with you also. Just wondering what Im missing here.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I know all of that. In fact Niagra Coach is badmouthing the team for lack of focus in practice. You probably are not missing anything here. They do recruit well though and the players left can play IMO. I think a lot of motivation for these new guys who did get a lot of playing time last year and a small spot here at home where the PA's have been very good. I can up with a 3.5 line here so I am playing it. Also, I think they are not going to use 4 Guards this year, more standard format, probably less tempo but we will see tonight..
