UConn -1.5 vs USC. Thoughts?

[Drumguy]

They’ve been in bubbleville for a while.

I know, still I'd just thinking we're getting some benefit from being "home", which iss usually 3 points or so.

 

[Ripper32]

I'm not expecting much against an above average Power 6 team at this juncture. Playing CCS and Hartford may have been a disservice and the Vanderbilt cancellation was inopportune.

That’s more so for the crowd than the travel.

Dan usually gets the guys ready for big games. Think Florida, Cuse, Cincy, Memphis, Houston. Even last year close efforts against Xavier, Indiana, Villanova, Wichita State.
We’ll have a solid opportunity to win the game down the stretch, we need a closer. Hopefully Bouk takes over and stays out of foul trouble.

I said if USC was getting points I was gonna take em. We shouldn't be favored here.

So if USC is getting 1 point you will be rooting for us to lose? Your wallet is more important than winning?

He’s going for the classic win-lose. Can’t have UConn lose AND lose money!

 

[Ripper32]

If Enfield is smart he smothers Bouknight with pressure and selective double teams. Force the ball to other options.

Travel can play a part
The 1989-90 team was flat in the Alaska
shoot out and looked bad in a loss to Texas AM that dampened expectations for what became the Dream Team.A USC team being in South Eastern Ct for 5 days is more bored than travel weary.

If we can defend without fouling I like our chances. Bouk going off for 25 tonight

 

[McLovin]

When the lines are close, I like to lay a little action against UConn. No science behind it, just an emotional bet. If UConn wins, I'm happy to lose a few bucks. If UConn loses, at least I can make a little money to ease the pain.

I put USC ML (+104) in a 4 team parlay tonight with Iowa (-33), Florida (-6) and ASU (-6.5). Trying to maximize my potential returns if UConn does not win.

I still think our guard play gives us a slight edge.

I’ve never bet against the good guys. That’s like shorting your own stock.

That’s some awfully bad mojo.

It's an emotional hedge!

I’m staying away from this game. Especially in parlays and straight bets - ESPECIALLY early in the season.

I’ll roll out this 8 pt teaser perhaps:
Drake -0.5
Va Tech -14
UCLA -11.5
TCU -12
Eastern Illinois -17

Totals to +180

Have VTech in a teaser and I took the boys in one...Not gonna even post the line and jinx myself like last time.

 

[NYConnMan]

Polley breakout game incoming.

I would throw Eastern Illinois on that too - they’re playing Chicago State who is the worst college basketball team of all time.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Lol.

Nova didn't destroy UH.

Nova annihilated UH.

Same referees? Not saying it's an excuse, but our team is, as Dan said, "immature". We didn't adjust properly to the way the game was called.

He's not.

This is what I want to see. He looked okay so far. It's time to stretch that D then pound it inside.

I can't ever imagine being happy that we lose or hoping one of the good guys misses a shot in order to cover

You're an emotional hedge!

(I'm not sure that that actually means anything, but it felt right.)
