Oklahoma State Spread

[auror]

OK St and UConn both play fairly fast. Both good defensive teams, but I do like the over since it's been bet down from 138 to 134. UConn should be able to turn over Ok St's guards and get out in transition where we're deadly.

Also, UConn just draws a bunch of fouls which pushes towards the over.

8.5 seems right. I’d take the points at 10.5, but I suck at gambling so whatever.

It’s really hard for me to see this team, first game back at a packed gampel, with the human energizer bunny coming out flat for this. But of course anything can happen and I’ve been wrong before as recent as the over on the last game lol

Thats why Im glad this one is at Gampel, if they ever were going to have a post tourney hangover (and that's a big if, I don't think we will) , the Gampel crowd will wake em up. If this was at sleepy, 2/3rd full XL the smell of the Fryer grease in the midst of the quiet, sit on the hands weeknight Hartford crowd might make them drowsy.

running a real 8/9 deep is also a good hangover hedge. two guys can have a bad night - hard for eight to be off at the same time.

General rule of thumb is to never tease basketball.

You must lose a lot.

Me too. And I'm just joking. Your are correct that teasers are bad bets (in ANY sport)...I just felt like the OK State/Creighton spreads were a perfect spot for one the other night. And I won!

It's forever unbelievable to me how the bookies get the spreads and O/U so close. Someone please explain it as I don't bet.
