I went online to bet it and UConn to win the NC now that online betting is live in Mass, but my App doesn't go live until March 10th.

If we already have Fanduel, can we use that in Mass.?

Wow, I'm surprised. Not because the line is wrong, but because I think that's actually pretty appropriate.

We've usually gotten a lot more credit than we deserve, especially for games that should be close. Our first game was -14.5. Based on home/road, you'd have expected this to be like -7.5.

They're either dinging us for underperformance in this kind of spot (finally), or giving Nova a lot of credit for their recent play.

the only games we havent been favored are against bama and @creighton

I believe we were either -2.5 or -3 @xavier @marquette, and against oregon (lol)

you could argue a win tomorrow would be our second best win of the year

Check it and find out. It's now legal as of Wednesday, but....Mass has rules about betting on Mass based college games, so there may be some technical things they need to implement. I'm guessing that's why Barstool is delayed. Al three casinos self reported violations of that in their on premise sportsbooks.

As a bettor, I probably like the Nova side of that more, but it’s in line.

Figure we would be -5/6 neutral and something like -8 home.

This game is the litmus test. We haven't been able to beat decent teams on the road this year at all. If we can pull it off tomorrow, I think we can make some noise in the post-season.
So 30 games into the year, and this is the game that decided what we can do in the post-season.

My god.

We are 19-10-1 ATS, but yes, we are100% getting bigger lines than we deserve.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong but is this a national rule? I know you cant bet on UConn in CT, any NY teams in NY, NJ teams in NJ, etc.

No. It's state by state. It's a common concern from state legislators. They could allow it if they want.

i dont really understand the logic. Also NJ lets you bet on player props for college. Havent seen that elsewhere. Like Sanogo hitting a 3 pointer is always +100.

If the students (and student athletes) and coaches and other employees at the school can gamble on the school, the risk of impropriety is higher. Of course you can bet those out of state, but that's not a problem they can solve.

In our first game we shot 30% from three and under 40% overall.

They outrebounded us with Sanogo and Clingan combining for 2 rebounds total.

We held Whitmore to 6 points.

Should be a war and like you say a litmus test moving forward. Both teams have improved since the last meeting. -2.5 is accurate.

A win tomorrow IMO locks us up on the 4 line. A loss to Creighton in the BET would suck, but I don't think it moves the needle of us going down a seed.

Lose tomorrow, and I think we need to beat Creighton to secure the 4 line. I think our metrics should have us on the 4 line regardless, but most of the bracket people have us there, and the committee did us no favors with their release.

But we won't be playing on the road after Saturday, although we may get to host up to 5 games

Can’t be in VA teams in VA too. No college sports player props either :(.

Have to go to prize picks for that.

Touch some grass, dude.

There are about a billion things in the world worth getting dramatic over, and you chose this? You must have a delightful personal life.
Bro, you claimed this game decides what we can do in the post season and you’re calling other people dramatic.

It's just legislators wanting to pretend like they're adding safeguards when legalizing a vice. It's moronic. Thankfully I don't live in CT. As if guys that are point shaving aren't able to drive 30 minutes to a neighboring state.
