UConn +2, early line

[tentoes4rings]

Thoughts? I expected more like 4-5 but being home has it close.

That is much less than I thought. Massey has it 68 to 64 WS. A 14-1 team that beat Memphis recently by a lot at home and Oklahoma State on the road earlier in the year by almost 20 and we are that close, I'll take it that my doom and gloom after the 2 road games is overdone. Also, Tulane doesn't seem to be as bad as thought, I'd take a double digit win at Temple.

Trap game!

WS is very good. Watched then play Memphis. WS has size. They can shoot. They get up and down the court quick. My hope is, they were up for the Memphis game, being home, another ranked team in the AAC. So, I am hoping they unloaded everything against Memphis. Still,going to be a tough game.

I watched the Memphis game...both of those teams can play! This is a trap spot for the Shockers fore sure. Maryland had the same thing happen last week. They beat a good Ohio State team at home, and then went to play a rather meh Iowa team a few days later - where they were oddly favored by only 2 - and they got buried.

I thought this line would be higher. We were getting 3-4 vs. FLA, and the last time Wichita came to XL we were getting 10! Regardless, I'll be somewhere in the building today. Big time hoops in Hartford baby!!!!

I just hope that 1:00 on a Sunday isn’t a scheduling debacle

 

[CTBasketball]

Vegas knows.

 

[Caronimo]

Will we be drunk enough by noon on a Sunday to rock the XL? Chief predicting a large number of casuals will be in the building.

I hope we show up before 1 because the game starts at noon.

ESPN has WSU -2.5. Do I win a prize in the prediction thread?

 

[HungryHuskies]

Just need opportunities for the crowd to get into it. Can’t come out flat with the reported attendance

 

[jibsey]

With Polley out this line should change?

And that Indiana team we played (and should have beat) that everyone said wasn’t any good just beat Ohio State handily yesterday. There is a ton of parity out there. UConn can beat most teams, and probably lose to most teams. Wichita State is good because they are so damned consistent.

With Polley out this line should change?

I believe we were down to +1.5 and then it jumped to 2.5 immediately after the Polley news. It’s stayed right at that number all morning, which I found odd but we’ll see. I hope Vegas is right

Carlton the line killer! Could’ve went up to cut it to a 1 point game with 2 seconds left but kicks it out.

Depends who you took.
