Rotation #615-616
Rider -2.5 over Quinnipiac (loss)
Rider is a team with a little more experience and scoring power.  If you look at the games last year this Quinnipiac team had a lot of production from guys that have graduated.  Cameron Young was a beat for the Bobcats when these teams played and key bench players also have departed the program.  This team struggled against a very weak Marist team the other night with mind boggling turnovers.  The Broncs should simply score too much for the Bobcats to be able to hang around in this one.  Take Rider.

Rotation #617-618
Penn State -1.5 over Rutgers (loss)
Geo Baker is a huge loss for this Rutgers program.  There are guys that have stepped up, but it’s not the same.  Last year the battle on the boards was pretty much even between these two teams, but I believe with Baker out and guys like Eugene Omoruyi not on the team anymore this Scarlet Knight team isn’t at this point as physical and I believe with that this surging Nitany Lions program will come out on top tonight.  Take Penn State

Rotation #625-626
South Florida -3.5 over East Carolina (loss)
South Florida dominated this series last year.  I would really love for Yetna to be healthy and playing this year, but I still think the Bulls are a much more talented roster at this point.  ECU has so many different transfers on their team and really just one guy that gets significant minutes from last year’s squad still remains.  I think it’s going to take some time for these guys to gel in conference play.  USF should add to their winning streak in this series.  Take South Florida.
