Allstar's Wednesday College Basketball

[Allstar]

Here are tonights selections:

7 Units Duquesne -2.5 (WON 79-76) +7.00 UNITS

Not much going on from these two last minute entrants. They are on a combined 3-13 run heading in the A-10 tournament. UMass is on a 1-7 run following a 69-65 loss to Richmond Saturday. Massachusetts (10-18, 4-12 Atlantic 10) scored four straight points to cut the deficit to 66-64 on Jeff Viggiano's layup with 29 seconds to play but that ended their closing threat. Rashaun Freeman's 27 points led Massachusetts and Art Bowers added 12. Duquesne is on a 2-6 run after losing to Dayton 73-69 this weekend. Jimmy Tricco led Duquesne with 18 points and Bryant McAllister tallied 13 points for the Dukes. Coach Dan Nee will build for next season and play his underclassmen, 6-9 freshman Kieron Achara will play over half the game at the five-spot and Nee will find lots of minutes for sophomore guards such as Jack Higgins, Bryant McAllister and Ryan Tricco. Duquesne won the first meeting 88-62 and that should be a pretty good indicator the Mass doesn’t have much after the big guy. UMass is playing a smaller starting five with four perimeter players joining 6-9 Rashaun Freeman (15 ppg).

5 Units CS Fullerton +1 (LOST 70-80) -5.05 UNITS

Big West tourney from Anaheim, CA. This is not a home game for either team, although the Fullerton campus is only 15 minutes away from this site. And despite allowing 46% shooting and 76 ppg on the road where they are 3-10 SU, 5-7 ATS, this is one game Fullerton can win. Fullerton (11-16 SU, 10-14 ATS) is on a 2-1 SU/ATS run, and they played at Northridge the last game and got a 95-70 win as a +5 dog! Now they face slumping Northridge on a neutral court. Fullerton has a big front line anchored by 6'-10" senior C Pape Sow (17 ppg, 9 rpg) and 6'-7" F Anthony Bolton (11 ppg, 5 rpg). Northridge (11-15) can't score on the road (62 ppg) where they are 4-9 SU and 6-7 ATS. Northridge also carries a 3-game losing skid and lacks height, with 6'-6" junior Eto Onyenegecha (14 ppg) and 6'-6" junior Ian Boylan (12 ppg) up front for the Matadors, but Northridge allows 47% shooting. Back on January 3, Northridge won 61-55 at Fulleron, but Fullerton is playing better ball now.

Good Luck Tonight,
