@FriarJ Is this my fault too?

 

[CTBasketball]

I got in at +6600 back in September.

 

[gtcam]

What is in the water in Bristol?

 

[peeps]

Is this the kenpom computer generated tournament? And is there some arrangement where Calhoun coaches the team from BET onward?

 

[August_West]

Can I short squeeze that?

 

[caw]

Makes sense though, that is almost exactly the order of how BE teams fared in the OOC. Almost like those games also matter.

What an odd season.

 

[XLCenterFan]

I got 33-1 earlier this year. We were down to 10-1 at one point. Before the season I believe we were 90 or 100-1.

It is but it isn’t. OOC we played offense 5-5. The BE coaches know the team and we’re playing 4-5 offense. The tape is out and unless we change our offense, my guess is that’s also how teams I’m the tourney will play us too.

 

[temery]

Do they offer odds for a higher seed being upset in the first round?

It goes to what I said in the Big East game thread. UConn can beat anyone on a neutral court. PC can't beat those top teams neutral site. UConn can also throw out absolute stinkers, which we have now the last two tournaments. UConn is a risky bet but this team could win it all. PC is a good bet to at least win their first game.

I think the odds were at 28-1 when I considered placing a bet early in the season. I'm not much of a gambler though.

You may not be much of a gambler but there is certain amount of risk taken when posting on the Yard.

Ouch!

Interesting...

NCAA Tournament will boil down to these 10 teams — and, yes, Tennessee is among them

The NCAA Tournament is on the horizon, and I'm counting 10 teams with realistic chances to win March Madness. Even up-and-down Tennessee basketball.

"Who’s missing (and why)​

Texas (don’t think the parts fit together correctly); Duke (too young, too inconsistent); North Carolina (ultimate underachievers, maybe locker room problems); Connecticut (coach’s lack of poise will sabotage them); Gonzaga (overrated all season)."

Nailed it.

How much did you bet? $1 ticket that would pay $3500 if they won it all?

 

[Hunt for 7]

I wish we had fewer of these bye weeks. 7 days and this board gets bored and we will find anything UConn to opine on. 20-1 fora natty. I am just hoping for a win on Saturday.

+3500 means that $100 bet would win $3500 (plus your original wager back)

$1 would win $35 + $1 wager

 

[Captbluefin]

4-0. Trophy case !

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Ouch!

If we are following the logic of Friar fans like @FriarJ and @Billy Jack , the reason that bookies and the computer rankings don't like Providence is because of a post I made two months ago.

That's kind of where I am at. I want 5-0 the rest of the way like we all do, but I really want Seton Hall and PC games at home the most.

"Personally, I have no interest in any team listed with odds below 20-1 in such a wide-open season. If I had to recommend one of the teams above right now at its current price, I’d go with UConn. If Karaban can continue to improve defensively, this is a top-10 team that can be bought cheap."
