Uconn (-3.5)

[ucawn]

We need better cupcake games than trash teams no one wants to see. Also should try to play more teams in New England like BC, Providence, Yale, UMass IMO.

 

[methodology]

Could be a trap game given their upcoming schedule. First true road game, long layoff, etc. Hoping they come out the gates fast

Just curious....

Courant said 20-2.

I don't think Hurley will allow them to fall into a trap game mindset. With it being the first road game I think they will be aggressive early.

19-2 with losses in 2010 and 2013.

Give the points. Huskies win by 10+.

Line all the way down to 2. Let's go Huskies.

"The line" is not some so called expert's pick on the game. The actual line is always a reaction to Vegas money flow on one side of the number or another. In other words, SFU was too hot at +3.5. Too much money taking the 3.5. Vegas wants to see where SFU +2 drives the money.

So this shows the betting public liked getting the points up there. You could say, though, that gamblers don't think much of us.

One stat that is interesting is that USF has more turnovers than assists on the season. Need to turn them over with our pressure and get easy buckets in transition.

 

[UConnDad]

I hope we take some practice shots pregame.

 

[Chief00]

Guys need to individually practice shooting on their own. That’s how you improve shooting. You will never get it in team practice.

Does anyone know how to stream cbs sports network? Don’t think Apple TV supports it

Unfortunately, this season we also have more TOs than assists!

I believe ours is very close to being negative to if I'm not mistaken. Kinda weird considering their tempo is so slow paced while ours is much more fast paced.

It seems via IG that the team was put in a hotel with an incredible pool stocked with “hot looking babes.” Jalen was posting videos as recently as like 4:00. Sooooo I wouldn’t be too shocked to see another 4 points on 2/6 shooting and 5 TO effort from our senior leader. I hope he realizes the accommodations aren’t as nice in the GLeague.

You must have missed the IG of him watching Miracle this morning...if that movie doesn't get him fired up nothing will. Big game incoming!

If you have a cable subscription, you can watch here Watch CBS Sports Network Live Online

It's also available on YouTube TV

Otherwise probably can find a stream on firstrowsports

Do you think players are robots? They're human beings just like everyone else. They have their team meetings/ practices/ walk through and are given packets with each page being a scouting report of every player on the other team strength/ weaknesses. It also encompasses plays and offensive sets.

They aren't expected to sit in their hotel room every minute. They need to relax and just not do anything stupid. No harm going down to the pool to hang out

We knew in little league to not hang out in the sun the day of a game...

19-2 with losses in 2010 and 2013.

So the silver lining if we lost is we probably win the NC next year

I don't want to burst your bubble about players on the national championship teams but needless to say they didn't spend every minute in their hotel rooms

 

[QDOG5]

I'm sticking with my bet. If they can't win and cover a "trap" game against this USF team. Even with all the distraction of sunny FLA then I don't have to worry about betting them the rest of the season. From what I've seen of Hurley so far I think the Huskies will show up ready to play. When I was in Little league and Babe Ruth they told us not to go swimming the day of a game, especially if you were pitching. Hilarious.
