Playing in Portland still makes me nervous. This is the equivalent of their NYC as far as distance, alumni, etc. Last time KenPom had it classified as semi-home, this time just as neutral. I'm surprised the books are sticking to the KenPom line and not adjusting. Thankfully we're playing the game at a common EST gametime.

They did lose both games at home I believe fwiw. I’m leaning towards leaving this game alone to see how we look against P5 comp, but I’m putting something small on us winning it while the odds are cool just in case.

It's time for UConn to take care of business on the national stage. We're better than Oregon, this should be a big long weekend for us.

This is a huge opportunity for a statement at the national level for Hurley at this program. It’s year 5, we’ve got the horses. Go get it done and win this thing.

In recent years I would be happy with 2-1 or a competitive showing with ranked opponents. This year I think the expectation should be to win each game we’re in.

I just hit -3 pretty hard on Draft Kings. Adama is too good. Hawk and AJ are back. We got this. I'm gonna send a turkey to Oregon's hotel.

I think we win by 15 easy, our bench is the deepest in 10 years. Especially if Jackson and Hawkins are 100%. Both Karaban and Clingan are improving rapidly, last game Clingan had a double double, 16 and 11 IIRC. Adama should be good for 20-25 also. Joey C should be good for several 3’s also.

From what I have read is that we will do everything we can to go up tempo tonight. Key player might be Karaban and how he hangs with a much taller opponent. Stinks that Samson is out. We probably will press, try to eliminate their guards vision and the ability to make post passes. How the game is called May be the key. I would love to see Pat Driscoll ref the game. We will probably have pac 10 refs though.

Glingan will have to step up too to match their 3 giants. Especially if we run Sanogo a lot or he gets into foul trouble. We need to clog the lanes on D and make them shoot to earn it.

This is one of those deals where I'd feel more comfortable betting the second and third game than betting Oregon game tonight.

Massey has us with a 3 point win 71-68. It looks like our problem is SOS. Ours is 357 out of 363 per ESPN BPI (where we rank 30 while Oregon is 80ish). Nobody knows how good we really are yet. I guess this weekend is pretty important as far as the polls are concerned.

I think its a Big East thing too. Villanova is only giving 1.5 vs Iowa St. BE overall needs to step it up, and today is the day to do it. I see you Seton Hall and Xavier.

Just a question. How many of you gamble? Seems like quite a few. I last bet in 1997 when I actually rooted for us to miss a shot vs BC. Sacrilegious

I have a lot of fun doing it, but don't bet so much that it doesn't become fun. Just a hobby for me.

Hard not to like those odds and do something with it. We’re +400 to win the Big East and this pays out after a weekend potentially.

Agree nobody knows how good we are this will tell us a lot. Players will need to adjust to level better athletes and speed. Adamo needs to give the ball up on occasion, Andre can’t be committing ridiculous fouls there is less room versus this weeks competition for the small details not be be focused on.

Can’t wait, admittedly nervous!

DK is the biggest square book. Can’t believe anyone uses that or any those horrible books. You’re literally giving away winning percentage on larger vig and bad lines

Definitely can get bad with the vig, but you absolutely want to play at square books. Just wait until the squares move the lines.
