A lot of teams in action today. Obviously the biggest opportunity is against Villanova (a home game for SJU), but I'd be shocked if the Hawks are able to pull off the upset. Massachusetts and Davidson will both have tough road tests, and if the A-10 could sneak away with wins over Harvard and Northeastern, those would be solid Mid-Majors to take down. Hofstra is a chance for the Bonnies to get their 2nd best win of the season. Is Osun Osunniyi healthy for this game? VCU and George Mason should be able to take care of business... Patriots can be the first A-10 team to get to 10 wins on the season. Fun little note: Delaware is undefeated this year, and the Colonials have a shot to hand them their first loss, as the Colonials are slight underdogs at home.

Picks: Massachusetts +9, La Salle -2.5, Fordham -5, St. Bonaventure -3.5, Villanova -16, Northeastern +1, Delaware -1.5, George Mason -8, Old Dominion +14.5

I think UMass is in for a long day against Harvard. Minutemen shooting 35.7% from the floor and only 1/5 from three. Have to hit 3s to beat Harvard.

La Salle off to a great defensive start at Drexel. Loving how much better the Explorers have been this season.
