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.

 

They aren't? Anyway, I only saw the last 50 seconds because I was at my game (the refs sucked horribly and they called the game because my team had like 8 technicals, and wouldn't shut up ). Uconn is number 1 and Duke is 2 end of story.

anyone else sick of dickie V ballwashing Duke and JJ reddick

 

Nah, he gives my Huskies respect by saying they're the best in the country.

I'm saying in terms of the voting -- not that it matters, though.

[jsinger121]

he says uconn is the best team in the country but he also said he would take duke

It's because he can't choose yet. Who cares? Redick's a great player and if you really pay attention, Vitale gives plenty of praise to whichever superstar that is playing in the game he does. No big deal.

He does. Dicky V is great. He was even giving a ton of love to Adam Morrison! When UConn plays, I hear it non-stop about Gay, so I don't see a problem.

Exactly.

 

For awhile I thought he was sorta bais towards Duke, but if you really pay attention, he gives major love to the stars on both teams in the game. Like Dee Brown, Gay, Redick, Morrison, that dude from Indiana, etc. etc. etc. I love Dicky V.

Crunch nice call on the NC under

[Mr Crunchy]

once again i saved you from yourself

you wanted kentucky

i gave you the under and put money in your pocket

i didnt see the nc game,i took the v.o. nap but they did cover the 5.5

 

great hoop

[TheMeanWalrus]

I broke even so I'd hardly say you put money in my pocket.

 

Playing unders in those run and gun games is walking a fine line to say the least. Reddick was Reddick, especially in the second half. We needed a cold streak to make that A&R come together and neither team had one in the 2H but at least Carolina covered the 5 1/2 so we didn't get double dipped

 

 

BC is -2 w/ a 151 tonight in Winston Salem

Under here certainly looks good

[TheMeanWalrus]

Solid under last night in Wake

 

 

 

Michigan is 2 at home vs Ohio St w/ a 142

142 seems a little high for a Big Ten game no?

 

And undefeated in the Big East West Virginia is +6 tonigt at Pitt??? Totals 134

 

Plus 6?

I know Pitt's pretty good but thats a lot of points to be spotting a 17-3 team thats undefeated in league play

 

 

What am I missing?

[Mr Crunchy]

youre missing a set of balls

a sense of national pride due to your frenchness and perhaps a bit of humility

 

i love wva here

i like the wolverines as well

Isn't Pitt like unbelieveable at home? And they were undefeated for quite awhile, but thats a large spread.

[MC Hammer]

Pitt is a completely different team at home. While they're very physical on the road it's a whole new ballgame when teams come to the Zoo. I agree that 6 points is high, but as long as Pitt is commited to defense, and Krauser doesn't try to do too much, they'll cover.

[TheMeanWalrus]

I hate laying points, especially when you get up over a basket or so.

Laying 6 is especially difficult with an expected low scoring game as evidenced by the 134 total.

 

West Virginia and Michigan tongiht it looks like, maybe wack WVU up to 10 w/ a 2TT and go under as well.

[MC Hammer]

I think we need a thread completely based on gambling.

Thought so. Didn't they recently (like a year or so ago) have like one of the top winning streaks at home? Like in the 30s or so along with Duke and Wisconsin?

Yes I'm pretty sure that was snapped last year around mid season.

 

The Zoo is forreal and it's one of the harder places to play in college hoops. Listen for Dicky V to slob all over the animals there tonight.

[TheMeanWalrus]

I think they had a 40 game streak stopped by Syracuse but I could be wrong

[yankeessuck013]

Yeah, I remember that. First Loss in the Peterson Events Center (I think that's what it's called)

It was Cuse right?

2 years ago?

[yankeessuck013]

Yep.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- The Syracuse men??™s basketball team (19-6, 9-5) snapped #3/3 Pittsburgh??™s (25-3, 11-3) 40-game home court winning streak by defeating the Panthers, 49-46, in overtime at the Petersen Events Center on Feb. 29.

 

The Orangemen held Pittsburgh without a field goal in the overtime session and outscored the Panthers, 7-4, in the extra period to earn the win. It was the first time any opponent had come into the Petersen Events Center and won since the building opened prior to the 2002-03 season. Pittsburgh had been 34-0 in the arena before Sunday??™s defeat. SU's win also snapped Pittsburgh??™s 20-game winning streak versus BIG EAST foes at home.

[MC Hammer]

PITT has the best winning percentage of any team in the big east since moving into the Pete, as we call it. Yes even better than UConn.

[TheMeanWalrus]

Nice effort by the Wolves tonight

What'd Ohio State go 14-16 from the 3 pt line in the first 1/2?

[Mr Crunchy]

nice call

michigan defense showed

ohio had 50 at the 1/2

12/16 from 3

 

wva has a pop down 3 with 45 seconds

[TheMeanWalrus]

You're in trouble

 

 

You A&R them?

Can you say fisting?

 

 

Where's Dr Watson?

Wheres the 512's?

[MC Hammer]

Pitt by 4

 

You can't win in the ZOO

[TheMeanWalrus]

Snuck out a push, eh Seano?

Coulda been worse

[Mr Crunchy]

bobby cancelled his flight to the bahamas,the pope is flying out at 7 with deb

[MC Hammer]
