UConn (-35) vs. Stonehill

[auror]

Draftkings opens UConn -35.5. Fanduel -34.5.

KenPom -33, Torvik -32.

UConn 1-0-0 vs. spread so far.

Sportsbooks hedging in our direction vs. the analytic spreads by 2.5+ points.

Stonehill seems terrible but this is just so high.

Stonehill seems terrible but this is just so high.

I agree. This could be a 40 point lead late and Hurley puts in the walk-ons and they give up 6 straight points.

Or it could be a 45 point lead and the walk-ons give up 8 straight points but they still cover.

Good thing I don't bet.

Exactly…

Made some good money from the first game. Will probably leave this one alone unless the team total looks doable.

Apostolos would probably be the 2nd best player in a deep bench/walk-on vs. their starting lineup situation.

Hammer it

 

[Huskyforlife]

Not betting it, but I’d take the over easily. They’re more terrible than terrible.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Last game at -24 was the easiest pick ever. This, not so much. I’ll probably stay off.

I see like a 115-56 type of game. UConn will smoke them by at least 50.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Stonehill is D1 in the loosest possible definition.

Expect a bunch of 3’s from cam. He was deferring in first game.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Line is up to +/-37.5. That's a lot of line movement in 12 hours. Somebody is going to look foolish here.

 

[auror]

At that number I might consider playing the Hawks. But also we might win by 50.

Or the walk-ons come in and Andrew gets a steal and hit's two straight 25 footers.

Beating this line is putting your money in the hands of the end of the bench.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Betting the over on total points is the best play here… Silly me I went up into Massachusetts to place a bet, but when I got there, I realized that you can’t because Stone Hill is in Massachusetts. Bummer.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Not touching this one.

Our team is so deep that the end of our bench is a guy who dribbled out the ball in last seasons national championship and is shooting 100% from 3 this year. I’ll roll with our bench any day.

 

[HooperScooper]

O.K. maybe that spread isn't so unreasonable.

 

[BGesus4]

“Johnson’s length” is going to be fun to hear about all year

 

[REB1094]

42 with 14 minutes to go lol

 

[upstater]

On Offense they look great, a lot of movement, and eventually those 3s are going to fall.

Can't help but feel these early games are about defense though. Stonehill misses a lot of open shots and they've been able to drive a little bit.

I have no doubt UConn will tighten up on defense over the year.

Did you at least have a beer somewhere?

Ended up having a few at the XL Center!
