COLLEGE BASKETBALL
BOWLING GREEN @ TOLEDO (TOL -7.5, 157)
TOLEDO -7.5
Toledo is in third place in the MAC right now at 9-4. Bowling Green is one of the conference bottom feeders at 4-9. In the first meeting this season, Toledo won 84-71 at Bowling Green. Toledo has now won 6 of its last 8 games. The only two losses were on the road. The Rockets are 6-1 SU in conference home games this season.
Toledo has won 7 of the last 10 games against Bowling Green. The last three at home have been by huge margins - 16, 14, and 40. Toledo holds an average scoring margin of +10 points in the last 10 games against the Falcons.
Sonny Wilson (from right up the road in Pontiac, MI) and Sam Lewis make up Toledo's backcourt. The pair ranks 8th and 9th in the MAC in scoring. Both average a little over 15 ppg. Look for both to play well at home tonight where Toledo is 8-2 SU on the season.
LLEGE BASKETBALL
CANISIUS @ MARIST (MAR -11.5, 130.5)
CANISIUS TEAM TOTAL UNDER 61.5
We have played Canisius before this season. If you remember, it's because the Griffins are one of the worst teams in college basketball. Canisius ranks 325th in scoring defense and 364th in opponent 2PT FG percentage. The offense is equally as bad, ranking 357th in scoring averaging 63.9 ppg.
Marist is in second place in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The Red Foxes are doing it with defense. Marist holds teams to 63.9 ppg. That ranks 15th-best in the nation right now. In the first meeting at Canisius this season, Marist held the Griffins to 47 points in a 70-47 win. I would think Canisius might score a few more points tonight, but not many.
