Uconn opens -4 over SU...

[690West]

wonder if we'll see any movement off that number

Gonzaga favored by three. Should be two good games.

 

[TexanMark]

I think that line is off...

UConn -7

 

[Cusefan0307]

I'm seeing UConn -4 across the board. That's about right. Kenpom has them 18 and us 36. Fwiw Michigan is 41.

UConn was -4.5 yesterday so the line today makes sense.

This thread is been alive for 53 minutes and not a single poster has yelled "TAKE THE POINTS!" Is this a board record?

Maybe so...I just don't think we'll cover.

TAKE THE POINTS!!!

Michigan shot terribly last night for most of the game, making Uconn look like the '85 Bears. They had 32 points with 11 minutes to go. If bettors didn't watch that game I'm sure the juice will be flowing UConns way.

 

[CuseBBall]

I think that would be the line if the game was played at a neutral site... But we get the 3 points for playing a home game... Why don't we ever leave the state???

UConn -7

I think that means the football team is better than the basketball team?

Based on my quick calculations using KP Off/Def per 100 stats, the line should be 2.5. So -4 makes sense.

This is UConn we are playing not a national power.

Where are you getting this ? I've checked 3 sites that don't have the battle for Atlantis lines up yet .

Bet365 does not have it posted yet either. But usually a team that is around +4 , will pay off about +250 if you take them at -3. With a team that shoots many 3's like Syracuse that may be the way I go.

Ml all the way

 

[cusetown1]

I'm going to say cuse ml will be +175.

I don't think so either I told a few UConn fans last night I'd take Cuse +10 but thats' about it

 

[690West]

Early money is coming in Husky. Lines are around 4.5 or 5 most places. ML is +175 like cusetown1 called which indicates Syracuse with a 36% chance to win. THAT is where I see the value.

Historically Cuse has played pretty well in preseason tournaments. Can't see why today can't be the same.

 

[cmr27]

Rivarly game (and we have more to prove)
We're good in preseason tourneys.
We're really good on quick turnaround (normal BET performance).
We play well against good teams in Nov/Dec.

Take points and maybe ML.

 

[690West]

Steady flow of storrs money. Up to -6 at many books

I agree...just not sold yet. The good news is UConn didn't draw many fouls yesterday...so...I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Flacusian]

Jimmy B will be going with the "A" team all the way today. If we are going to win this game we will need big minutes from DC and we will need to hit shots. The "2nd line" is a precipitous drop off in both defense and offense and we simply cannot have that today against a team the quality of UConn.

I agree with the " We could lose by 25 or win by 10 " outlook. At this juncture it's impossible to tell or call. That supports the fact that we've seen some really good play mixed with some pretty shaky potato type of performance from this group. The subs check into the game with a potato in hand. Hopefully that will not be the case today.
