4 1/2 hours til 'cuse/ uconn.

 

With the lack of consistent shooting from UConn, if SU packs in the zone and REBOUND defensively we should be able to win. Giving 5 points to home court advantage...I'll say the Cuse wins by 8.

Im telling you all come Madness time, its MSU all the way

Duke is no longer undefeated. MGB, about your sig, it's not #1 and 0 anymore.

[jimmycarter05]

Go UNC!!!!!! Hansbrough for ACC Freshman of the Year and College Freshman of the Year! The guy is a beast!

[yankeessuck013]

Big East > ACC

[See Red]

With Georgetown beating Duke today, and Tennessee having just beaten Florida, UConn should be #1 in the Nation come Monday if they beat Louisville!! In addition to that, the Pittsburgh loss to St. Johns means there's no longer any undefeated teams.

[jsinger121]

UConn won so they will most likely be the #1 team come monday

[guapo34]

Wow. Pitt, Florida, and Duke were a combined 49-0 until today and they all lost.

Psh, w/e. Your right though. The 0 changes but the #1 should be back.

Figured I'd bump this up with some big games coming up.

 

UConn destroyed Indiana today -- the score doesn't indicate how much UConn dominated them in my opinion. The closest Indiana could cut the lead was 7 or 8 in the second half, and then it got bumped back up to 15 shortly after. Even when Indiana made a run to get it to 7, never really felt like they'd give UConn a scare.

 

Duke survived against Florida State. Sheldon Williams: King of the late game no-call. FSU should've gone to the line late in OT

Remember what UConn did to the Orange in Syracuse?

 

They won't be so merciful in Storrs*.

 

*or Hartford, if that's where the game is.

[YanksHater213]

I'd like to point out that I called that Washington and LSU would lose.

[TheMeanWalrus]

Cincinnati is a short -2 tonight at home vs Louisville.

Do the Cats suck that bad that they're only two over these chumps?

[YanksHater213]

Yeah I would also like to say that I called Pitt losing yesterday too. Verify that with stocker if you dont believe me. I am like a god at picking these college basketball games.

[TheMeanWalrus]

Which ones?

I dont see bold?

In the post of yours that I quoted...

 

I underlined and made them red now, too. Just check out my last post before this one.

 

It's probably something that's going to make me feel very stupid for not realizing.

Red,

Those are money lines, i.e., if you want to bet the game with no point spread.

The number with a minus is the favorite.

The number with the plus is the underdog.

 

Example:

Duke is -210 vs NC +175 tonight.

So, if you want to bet Duke tonight to just win the game with no point spread, you have to lay $210 to make $100.

Conversely, if you want to bet NC to win the game outright, again, no point spread, you only have to lay $100 and it pays $175 if you win.

 

Got it?

Yep, thanks a bunch.

[TheMeanWalrus]

No problem

[TheMeanWalrus]

Yves, nice under call tonight in the Tenn/UK game

[See Red]

What a game between Duke and UNC. Duke had it up to a 17 point lead in the second (maybe higher, I've been flipping back and forth between the game and Cheap Seats), but as I type this, UNC has stormed back and taken a 5 point lead. 3 Pointer by Reddick, UNC by 2.

just turned it on....looks like another great duke-unc game

[See Red]

Ooh boy, a 5 point game with Dockery on the line with about 40 seconds left has turned into a 1 point deficit for UNC with 26.3 left. Some potentially costly mistakes by Dockery and Reddick.

 

You have to deny Reddick the ball if you're UNC.

[See Red]

Duke survives.

 

The more I see them play, particularly after the BC, FSU, and UNC games, the less I'm worried about possibly having to play them, eventually.

[jsinger121]

duke survives three games in a row and still picks up first place votes from the second spot. they should be losing votes.

[See Red]

Yeah, they're Duke, though.

 

After UConn throttled Indiana (the game wasn't as close as the score indicated) and Duke has struggled, the Huskies should be a fairly unanimous #1.

[jsinger121]

anyone else sick of dickie V ballwashing Duke and JJ reddick
