Spread UConn / Cincy

[auror]

According to Vegas Insider, most places are Cincy -9.5 or 10.5.

KenPom has it at a 6 point game. Rare to see that big a spread difference.

Anyone place a little wager on UConn?

It opened at UConn+15 according to VegasInsider. I would have put a whole lot on that.

The line has been tightening up on VegasInsider, now down to +9.5, I expect this to be close, this is a rock fight especially with what's on the line.

Not at all surprised at the line. Lest we forget in our post-Houston euphoria, Cincy only lost four times all year. They have more talent, more experience, and they operate like a team on both ends of the floor.

We have a very small, but very definite chance of winning. Our players better be ready - all of them - because it will take nothing less than a full team effort, and perhaps a little luck, to pull this one off.

BTW, this is a similar spread to the '99 Championship...mojo?

Wow, even this year that seems wild. I would have grabbed those points and bet the house if I'd seen that.

That was a mistake - it really opened at around +9.5.

They have their preemptive excuse (game in Htfd) standing by ready to go if UConn wins.

I don't think it was ever that high. It lists that as the open, but all the line movement things are between 10.5 and 9 for every bookmaker, so not sure who put up 15.
