Tonight's Basketball Game
-----------
Duquesne +9 V Arizona
We have all heard the news about arizona not being so fantastic to start this season, and perhaps that is true of both these squads as they both lost a lot of talent last year. One thing to consider though is the Matchups down low. Both teams will be playing big men that are inexperienced and a bit wet behind the ears, but arizona starts a very large Natyazhko at center who seemingly has some development time to become an impact player. But the word on this guy is that he is slow on his feet, not a great rebounder and most importantly for my argument is not used to playing for more than 20 min a game.
Lets not forget this Dukes team is very well coached and at one point won 11 straight last season, we know their departed seniors had a lot to do with that, but Duquesne established a winning culture yet again last year. Arizona will definitely be able to score on the DUKES , as they have their own interior problems, but I think that at the end of the day they win 78-71 over a hungry Duquesne team .
Lehigh V St. Johns Over 149.5
-----
Lehigh has no prayer in this game, but if they intend to try and play basketball with the johnnies then they will have to use their high scoring, high powered up tempo style to do so. Expect a lot of fouling as well as lehigh is undersized in their frontcourt and bench.
