On paper and the eye test both say we win this game, but WOOF that's a big line.

If I were a betting man, I’d take St.John’s with the points. However we
ARE due for a blowout and Gampel should be hopping tonight.

If this was at XL I would be all over St Johns with points. At Gampel Id leave it alone. We just seem to shoot better there. No stats to back it up, just my personal eye test over the last few years.

As someone who has successfully hit a three on the Gampel court for one of those time out games, I concur.

I did the free throw contest at XL years ago. It felt like I was trying to pitch a dime into a coke bottle at a carnival.As someone who has successfully hit a three on the Gampel court for one of those time out games, I concur.

I'll believe this when I see it.
I wish I had your confidence

He plays well v. poor competition
Gaffney is the reason everyone should load up on the 11.5. He can't handle pressure and SJU brings lots of it.
Haha, don't get me wrong I think that we should have a better backup guard but Gaffney typically plays well v. poor competition.

I believe they were supposed to return this weekend, but the delay of two weeks may mean Gampel is not quite rocking in the free world.
He does play well against poor competition - Coppin St, CCSU. St John's is not poor competition

Return to campus was delayed so the casuals will probably not be in attendance

That may be true in bettor's minds, but I think both Posh and Addae-Wusu are better guards. They ate up Adams and Gaff last time out.
That's fair.

Why do they schedule games every season at Gampel during winter break? It is a disservice to the students.
I am a betting man and I can bet against the my other favorite teams like the NY Giants (boy that made me some money), Yankees, or any NBA team, but I just can't against the UConn Huskies basketball team. My world would flip upside down if I ever did that
I won't ever put myself in a position to root against UConn in any way.

Well they were supposed to be back, at least a lot of them. But UConn delayed the return to campus a couple of weeks ago.

That's the easiest pick I've seen in weeks. I took the points. I'll be there to watch.
