I was intrigued by the multiple references to betting lines yesterday.
Massey had the Huskies 13.5 point favorites in the morning. By game time, the pros had pushed it up to 17.5 evidently. Someone suggested that this a common progression with UConn games.
So does this mean that Massey was wrong?; for example, the algorithm has no way to factor in Nika’s injury. Or does it just reflect the need of the pros to balance out the betting?
I ask this because Massey was very accurate as to what Iowa would score. But it underestimated what UConn would score even without Anna’s three. So UConn’s defense worked well even without Nika but the O worked even better than expected
