UNC opens -6 over Syracuse...

[690West]

I haven't looked into kenpom yet, but dang that feels a tad small. When a number smells, run TOWARDS the smell! I'm loving a close game now.

 

[Toga]

Really?

 

[690West]

Really?

Being the college basketball gambler and Cuse lover I am, out of respect I wont be betting on this game. That seems awfully low for UNC to cover.

 

[skurey]

$$$$$$$$

 

[pearl31]

all $ gotta be going towards Carolina right now huh? that sucker's gotta go up to about 9 or so by tip-off

 

[Cusefan0307]

The JB effect?

Maybe the referrers for the game are not cooperating with the bookies.

I mean I never bet against my teams EVER but the line is crazy with UNC's inside advantage and our lack of rebounding and bigs who can defend.

I mean wow. I wondering if I should bet and being willing to lose than amount of money in exchange for Syracuse winning because jeez that line is tiny. UNC just destroyed Florida State on the road and FSU is better than us.

I mean I might have to lay some bones just to get the win for SU.

Betting on UNC and taking advantage of the small spread won't guarantee an SU win in lieu of a winning bet, just a good game. UNC wins by 5 and you lose your money and all SU gets is a moral victory.

 

[pearl31]

FSU is better than us

They're bigger, and have a couple of stud freshmen, but I wouldn't say they're better.

That would suck.

No coach wins less with more five star recruits than Leonard Hamilton.

 

[Alsacs]

If I bet it would be the ML. As 6 pts wouldn't make the ML that large. If I bet it would be betting the amount of money I would be happy to lose in exchange for a win. For basketball I never lay the points I just take the ML if I want the dog I will take the points.

UNC-103, SU+113 according to my Bovada.

 

[Knicks411]

Ken Pom says UNC -4.

Ken Pom says UNC -4.

just seems so low

Seriously. Especially the past five years or so. They have some NBA looking teams/size and more 5 star guys than we have had.

 

[Knicks411]

just seems so low

I think in general we probably underrate the value of home court?

 

[RF2044]

The Boeheim return factor.

Wouldn't be surprised if the game is close, frankly.

[HoustonCuse]

Everybody here has forgotten how to be fans. We are winning this game people.

 

[Briancuse]

Meeks is coming back tom, defending Johnson and Meeks down low is going to be a nightmare.

 

[Jasoncuse]

UNC should be a double digit favorite. I don't care that it's at the Dome or JB's return, we are not a good team and UNC is going to hammer us inside.

 

[AZOrange]

just seems so low

I don't get it at all.

 

[DonLightfoot]

Ya, that line seems crazy to me as well. It would be nice if it was indeed that close. If there is one game "I really want" it is this one
