Holy Cross-- will go with HC on the road. HC is 6-1 when "Effective FG Pctg" is 50% or better. BU is 0-6 when "Eff FG Pctg Defense" is 48% or worse and BU's defense is at 51.4% for the year. So, no great insight on my part that teams that shoot well often win and teams that defend poorly against the shot often lose. BU has lost 6 of last 7 games and I'll project a good shooting night for HC and the win.
Lafayette- Lafayette depends heavily on the three and Colgate is very weak in 3 point defense. Both teams are pretty weak (so far) and note that Colgate has lost 7 in a row. I'll go with Lafayette at home. Look for freshman Hunter Janacek who has been hoisting up threes for Laf, 13-28 in the last three games.
Bucknell-- The Bison are a very good team and Navy a weak one. In games against teams ranked #200 or worse Bucknell has won by 12, 13, 26, 12, & 16 points. Navy is #277 and has woeful defense against FG and Bucknell is an excellent shooting team.
Lehigh-- Army's two centers both are very foul prone and Kempton should spend a lot of time at the line tonight. Lehigh has a very good offense.
American- Throw out the Villanova game. American, whose defense has been sub-optimal, seemed to get its defensive act together in the two prior games and can beat Loyola if it has another good effort on defense. AU's Delante Jones has really struggled this year--shooting percentage has declined and he is committing even more turnovers than he did last year. Home court will help the Eagles
