They lost to Wofford by 11 but beat Georgia Tech already.

ight thanks man

I'm actually surprised at the line, I was thinking it would be more like -15 to -17. I was hoping Vegas would be fooled by the record and not look at the litany of cupcakes Tulane has beaten up. They have 1 win against a team with a winning record (Ga Tech). That said, I would still give the points in this one. I think we absolutely stomp all over Tulane.

How DARE you call the MacMurray College Highlanders a cupcake. Get a clue

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

I think I take Tulane if I were to bet this one then. I thing 'Cuse will be fine but I see us winning 78-64 type game. Gotta imagine the short rest takes a little out of our legs

Go ask the BC board.

Big lines against cupcakes would scare me from a gambling perspective.

You know this game will end with our walkons out there. Do you really want to put money up when they could easily lose 6-8 points off a lead in 2 minutes?

I would love to see a stat of how often spreads of 20+ actually are reached. It seems to me like betting against that spread every time would be a pretty decent gambling strategy - I feel like there is a lot more parity in bball now than ever.

Exactly what happened last night I believe.

Although toma hit that three. I wonder if our walk ons got outscored last night

I will take Tulane +20, classic let down game as the kids will be looking forward to going home for a few days, we could be up 30 or so with 4-5 minutes to go and still not cover. Tulane is a better team that Bucknell.. I think SU wins by about 15, but is up as much as 20-25 at times

no they aren't

 

[Flacusian]

The crazy thing about is that the line as per this forum for the Bucknell cabinet was 19 1/2 and it ended up 19 points. I'm in agreement that with that many points and the prospect of the walk ons going in for the last minute it is pretty crazy to give up that kind of number in any game.

Bucknell is better than Tulane

 

[IthacaBarrel]

no they aren't

Yes they are, Tulane is much more athletic, bucknell can shoot but they aren't athletic at all. I could check their point guard

 

[SkanSU]

I have SU opening at -20 1/2

 

[zibby]

Syracuse rarely covers huge spreads. That how the "point shaving" rumors got started.

 

[Knicks411]

For whatever it's worth, Pomeroy has Tulane and Bucknell pretty close (114th for Tulane, 123rd for Bucknell).

They JUST missed covering the spread on Tuesday night.

Mine was a push at Su -19

 

[SkanSU]

SU now -20 1/2 vs. Tulane.

Anybody want to try and guess the spread vs. Seton Hall next week. I would say SU -5 1/2

No way. Spread will be double digits, around -12.5

Dude, 5 1/2?????
