[DaytonCuse]

70% of tix are Cuse and 74% of bets are for Cuse.

edit: I’m reading this as 70% of tix sales are Cuse and then 30% to Houston. Then 74% of money is being bet on Cuse and 26% is being bet on Houston.

60% of the time - it works every time.

Who dat, who dat say they gonna beat dem Cuse, who dat.

 

[Alsacs]

The line is absurd.
Houston should be favored they earned it but 6 is a lot of points.

We have played well and the players on our team have played 2 complete good games. We beat WVU they didn’t give us that game.
Houston is a great team but they aren’t peaking right now.

I would have this game Houston -1.5.

Rutgers was 7 point underdogs.

If we have 2 players on offense that are on I think we win.

Houston needs Grimes and their offensive rebounding.
Grimes would have to copy #22 from WVU and their second chance points to beat us.

I assume you mean $ for one of these. That’s what matters. Except when it doesn’t.

Not so worried about their rebounding stats against AAC teams. That number is made of smoke.

 

[CousCuse]

Having a significant crowd advantage will be huge. All year the guys playing in an empty dome and now a raucous pro-orange crowd will bump them up bigly. That's 3-5 points right there.

AND 100% OF MY HEART IS CUSE

LFGO!

 

[djorange1989]

We have such a great national fanbase for hoops, anywhere we play.

60% of the time - it works every time.

Half of the people can be part right all of the time,
Some of the people can be all right part of the time,
But all of the people can't be all right all of the time.
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.

Do you have any idea how many spectators are even in allowed in games.

3-5 points just spew more made up crap.

We played in front of no fans at home and had our best home record since 2012.
Good point though.

Will the 'year of the underdog' continue in the Sweet 16?

The regional semifinals are full of double-digit seeds. How many Cinderellas will remain at the 2021 NCAA tournament ball?

Also per ESPN Lunardi is picking us over Houston. Normally I would say kiss of death but he did have us right for being in the tourney so ...

Is there a correlation between the Vegas line and the game results that I am not aware of?

We want Lunardi and Seth Davis to pick against us. They are mushes.

Well Seth has Houston so we went 1/2.

The fact that Vegas made the line this big is concerning

jncuse broke it down.
Vegas uses the Ken Pomeroy information in making the lines.
Pomroy has Houston as a 7 point favorite.

Vegas opened it at Houston -6.5.
It’s down to 6.

 

[DaytonCuse]

Got my 2nd Pfizer shot yesterday. Had my Cuse face mask on and the young lady who was wheeling me in asked if I was a Cuse fan. I said yes and we started talking about Saturday’s game. She and husband are big Cuse fans and wanted to go on Saturday but she said tickets are going for $500 each and that was outside their budget.

 

[721Comstock]

The fact that Vegas made the line this big is concerning

You should go back and check out the lines for us vs:
Gonzaga
UVA
Sparty

Just for a few examples of Vegas setting lines based on how people will bet, NOT on how the game goes.

 

[Arangeman]

Kenpom has it 75-67 Houston. VSIN guys just saying sharps on Houston.

And if 74% of the $ is on Cuse, the line is moving in the wrong direction. Which could mean “respected” $ is on Houston. All that said, none of it means a damn thing and I’d take Cuse $ line, Orange glasses or not.
