It seems that the Orange are 5 point dogs against the Zags

[CaliCuse]

To most Orange fans that may seem to be a "Pick'um. I'm not so sure about this.A lot has been said about whether the Orange should have been in this tournament. Ewe reached the 16 level. Getting to the eight is far more dauntingIMHO. Our depth is nonexistent. I'll watch and hope. If they win I will be hugely surprised and happy. Of course we have the women's team to cheer for

It goes up anymore I'm going to throw some cash on Syracuse. Zags have a great team but they just don't produce, they're an 11 seed for a reason.

I'm not downplaying the team, coaching, talent that they have because we very well could lose this game but whatever talent and coaching they do have hasn't translated to the best results before this tournament. It really should be a great game to watch.

 

[Frozen]

Gonzaga's depth is nonexistent.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Cusefan0307]

We play 7, they play 6. Let all the money go on the Zags, we'll have them right where we want them. Sounds like the Super Bowl this past year.

We are the underdog. We are getting points. By winning the game, we cover.

My wife has the Orange going all the way. Now I can't think that way yet. Getting into the ELITE EIGHT would in of itself be mind blowing. After that I would need some hallucinogens.

Cuse has been easy money thus far in the tourney.

 

[CousCuse]

Cuse has played 8 games against sweet 16 teams this season.

Cuse has played 8 games against sweet 16 teams this season.

And no matter what all the haters have to say, after Friday it will be 9.

 

[Flacusian]

It's sweet that we are the dog and getting points but dang it I want an outright win for cryin out loud! But just for the record... I am taking Syracuse and the points for a decent chunk.

I think we make it to elite 8 and perhaps even further... if that happens I will deem this season, "The season of the Crow"
because there will be a lot of people eating it!

LGO!!!!! War Damn Otto! Let's get this thing done!

Pomeroy has the line closer to 2, fwiw.

yes the underdog winning outright. I'm of the belief that you don't bet on an underdog unless you believe they can win. For those putting coin on SU, throw a little on the money line as well. SU is +170 at most books right now (for those uninitiated, bet 100 on cuse to win 170 if they win the game straight up).

I feel like I've been on hallucinogens all week. I keep hearing talk about the Sweet 16 and seeing Orange trails...

I only play craps at the casino. But what it sounds like you are doing is hedging your bet. Isn't hedging just the same thing as betting less money on them winning with the same amount of risk?

The thought of you taking hallucinogens and posting is interesting.

Money line and betting the point spread have different risk. If you bet using the point spread you lay 110 to win 100 no mater what side you bet. With the money line you are taking a team to win the game straight up. With no point spread involved SU has to win for you to get paid on a ML bet. Since SU is the underdog you're getting 170 for every 100 you bet. If you place a ML bet on the favorite Gonzaga you risk 200 to win 100. Also no vig on a money line bet. If you are taking the SU +4 point spread bet, might as well pair it with a money line bet on SU as well. Kind of like when your point is 8 and you put some additional money on the hard eight in craps.

Hey, if Bill Walton can broadcast on whatever he is on during a game...which could be nothing active in his system, but just remnants of previous indulgences.

Thanks. I agree, your analysis is a much better bet.

I think he means MORE hallucinogens.

Yeah ,yuk it up! In reality I have only experienced one real hallucination and that was in a hospital in Apple Valley when I had a seizure when a medication to prevent seizures wasn't available. I though I saw my father sitting in the corner of my room. He had passes about eight years prior. In that same seizure I saw a totally ridiculous fictional character which I won't disclose. Thinking about it now is comical. This character wasn't and isn't one that I enjoyed. OK continue your theory.

Haters is a strong word for what I believe the correct term is "doubters" Lets face it the Orange played with little consistency this season. It wasn't totally unreasonable to think that they didn't belong andWinning just proved them wrong and that pissed them off even more but to them I say GFY. They might enjoy attempting that anatomical impossible act.

Also we played "Ville who would almost positively been a sweet 16 team . Gazanga 1.
