UConn +10 tomorrow

[bear]

Seems high. I would have guessed 5.5-6.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Impressive math and typing skills for a bear.

i think Puke was a 10+ point favorite back in 1999

 

[Palatine]

It's 6 plus 4 for home court. Or 7 and 3.

Its days like this I hate living so close to a casino and knowing that I will likely be drunk in a casino this evening. That number is just too tempting not to bet. I haven't wagered on a UCONN game in about 15 years but I like our changes of staying within 10.

Funny you say that. I was just about to post how happy I am that I do not have easy access to sports book, because that seems wayyy too tempting to me, too. Which usually means it's a bad bet.

Thank you for the reminder. It definitely looks too tempting which absolutely means its a suckers bet. I will employ all of my willpower and avoid the sportsbook at the casino even though I have to walk right by it to get to the poker room.

Cool. I'll PM you my credit card info so you can place one for me, too.

Believe me, the last thing you want to do is PM me your credit card number when im drinking in a casino. You may wake up and find you spent $35K in the casino and that I flew directly from Reno to Barbados for the week; your treat.

I have a feeling Louisville is coming in cocky and we're coming in hungry.

I don't know how it's going to go, but +10 seems about right. I'd say there's about a 50% chance we keep it close the whole way, and a 50% chance they run us out of the gym, though even that might be a bit optimistic. (There's a miniscule chance the margin actually ends up around 10.)

Our recent performance against Louisville is, to put it bluntly, not good.

2014: Lost by 12 at home
2013: Lost by 15 at home
2012: Lost by 21 on the road
2011: Lost by 1 at home, Lost by 15 on the road, Won by 3 at MSG
2010: Lost by 13 on the road, Lost by 2 at home

We haven't played them competitively (nevermind actually beat them) anywhere since Bazz was a freshman, and haven't played them competitively on the road since Kemba was a freshman (in what was one of our best ever regular season performances).

You're gonna be a terror in the chat.

Or, alternatively, you might say that we're due. Which we are.

 

[huskyharry]

Due...yes we are due...the first syllable of DOOMED!

You are consistently the worst poster on the Yard in terms of negativity but I respect that you did some solid research. It will require an amazing performance but I hope that our Huskies break your heart and beat the Ville today.

 

[UConnDad]

We have absolutely no chance! Why even watch the game! Is it 2 o'clock yet?

 

[mauconnfan]

Due...yes we are due...the first syllable of DOOMED!

You mean DDDDDUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEmed…….

 

[dandar]

I'll say it...Louisville will cover. I have not seen anything out of the Huskies to show me they know how to beat them. I hope they prove me wrong.

I don't know how you make the leap from me saying "we've done terribly against them lately" to inferring "it would 'break [my] heart'" if we win, but I too -- obviously, as shouldn't even need to be said -- hope we beat the out of them this afternoon.

Louisville is the one team that has consistently out-toughed and out-smarted us over the last ~5 years, and even hanging with them for 40 minutes would be a great accomplishment (as the +10 line indicates). Beating them would announce that we're a legit contender for the second weekend and beyond.

 

[CTBasketball]

God I hate Louisville. I would really enjoy to see their Senior Mid-Afternoon get ruined.
