MSU Opens as 1 pt Favorite.

[RayRay]

-1 MSU. I’m honestly very surprised by this line, because I thought for certain we would be favored. I have to imagine this has to do with fatigue due to the double ot game combined with MSU having about 3 extra hours of rest, and the fact that Izzo is probably favored/more experienced vs DH. Other than those two things, we should normally be a 3.5-4 pt favorite I would think.

Yeah I’m hammering UConn ML

Well, was it 2014 when we won 6 straight games in the BE tournament?

So, yeah we could beat MSU, but the game was a real drainer. Though MSU had a tough game too, but it ended in regulation.

I saw their center Bingham who blocked the first 3 shots taken by Loyola's center early in the game. This guy is a premier shot blocker so it should be a good challenge for Sanogo.

Should be interesting to see how it goes with MSU. We made a lot of the same mistakes as last year against Auburn, but they were covered up by incredible 3 pt shooting. We really, really need to minimize those things if we‘re going to win games when we shoot at a more normal level from 3.

I did very well yesterday, even got Auburn +6.5, +8.5 & +10.5. Only missed on the +5.5 hedge. Got UConn up to +6.5.

This game scares me tho. Blank slate, I'd take the +1, but seeing Whaley on the floor is a sign of caution. Fortunately we're so deep. Also, can we duplicate the 3 point shooting? MSU is very long and athletic like us. We won't have that advantage. Maybe Akok, Ajax, Gaff and Hawkeye will be looking for retribution for mistakes made or quiet games. But the other 5 have got to be drained.

Update: Just picked up the good guys with a small starter bet @ +1.5.

The guys that fouled out got plenty of rest!

I’m seeing UConn -1.5 on the Florida Hard Rock App. Wish I could get the earlier number.

I thought this once I saw the line as well. I do like our depth and chances although Cole, Sanogo and Whaley played NBA minutes.

Its +1.5 on Draftkings right now.

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

UConn ML/West Ham parlay. 2 wins from my teams will make Thanksgiving at the in-laws tolerable. Sort of.

Dumb question, but where are you all placing your bets. I know CT doesn’t let us wager on state teams while in state, but I thought we could when they were playing in a tournament. I cannot find UConn/MSU line on any of the 3 online Sportsbooks.
Help!!

Assuming outside the state or not on an app

I just noticed Rocket Watts is buried on the Miss St bench.

 

[uconnever]

Michigan state ruined a $300 win for me yesterday. I had them at -2.5. I also had UConn, Florida, Houston and Wisconsin I believe. I did hit on hockey though. Just $100.

 

[husky429]

Need to keep up our hot shooting to pull this one out. If we did some good recovery work last night, i think we've got it

 

[JB75]

Yeah I agree I’m shocked mich st favored. Thought it would be at least UConn -3. Dunno if I like UConn to cover now. Handicappers must know something

 

[Jay-Bone]

Draftkings just flipped it. Maybe they got word Whaley was plugged in and charging all night.....

Most college teams don't have a lot of quality depth, but UConn does. Plus data that the betting books and casinos are using is based on years where you don't have 5th year players due to covid. So the algorithms they are using to set lines are based on incorrect assumptions that past data is predictive of this year. However, the covid exception has added quality depth to many teams that will allow them to perform better than previous years on a back to back after 2OT. UConn could lose, but I guarantee that their predictive algorithms are not very accurate for this game due to what I mentioned above.

First time in 20 years we will be guests for Thanksgiving not hosting and we were told to be there for before dinner cocktails and Hors Douvres at 12:00 I am recording the game. I thought that I raised my daughter better than to schedule dinner during a UCONN game. You can do just so much with kids once they are on their own.
