Is every one healthy today?

[Kitaman]

Playing wise, I hope so because it's nationally televised. Also be nice to finally see what we actually are working with (full roster).

At the moment, I have gout. But overall, I'm pretty healthy for an old man.

My condolences on the gout, one of the worst afflictions known to man. Natural/unsweetened cherry juice is my go-to remedy.

Is Ross available today?

Hanging in there … insert fave cat gif.

Ahhhh, the Rich Man's Disease.

Any reason the line just dropped to -17.5?

More money on Marquette than UConn

Ahhhh, the Rich Man's Disease.

The first time I had gout my doctor said (jokingly) you're either rich or you drink too much - you don't look rich.

It doesn't happen like that (immediate 3 pt shift) unless there's a catalyst or someone put their house on Marquette.

Four more players pulled hamstrings.

I put my children’s college fund on Marquette about 34 minutes ago

 

[SoFla Steve]

KenPom has us down for a 21 pt. win. I think it was 22 yesterday.

Being extremely careful I'm guessing. I hope all of this being cautious with injuries pays off in February and March.

My shoulder is a little sore, but otherwise I'm fine. Thanks for asking!

Swami's "inverse expectation" (or something like that). Too much money has been on the over, so the line has dropped to balance the bets.

Nah, try eating too much venison! Hillbilly’s disease.

I've already posted that the line does not immediately shift 3 pts without a catalyst. To rationalize it otherwise is nonsense. I do A LOT of betting. It has to be because of Jayden Ross.

My guess is those hillbilly's would "Still" have gout without the venison.

Not sure a starter being ruled out would move the spread 3 points much less the 8th man.

The market (read: syndicates) have been extremely sharp to shooting regression this season. UConn's 3pt defense and Marquette's offense are both due for some regression. A mid teens win seems the most likely outcome.

Foods to Limit or Avoid with Gout:

• Meats: Organ meats (liver, sweetbreads), venison, bacon, beef, lamb, pork, turkey.
• Seafood: Anchovies, sardines, mussels, scallops, trout, haddock.
• Alcohol: Especially beer and hard liquor.
• Sugary Foods: High-fructose corn syrup drinks, sweets.

So, basically, just avoid food and you'll be fine. 🤔
