UConn -4 vs. Marquette

If you bet the Marquette money line, you root against UConn in order to make a profit.

This is why I rarely bet on sports and never on a game where I have a rooting interest in one of the teams. I'm way to emotional.

More like I root for UConn, am OK losing money if we win, and if we lose, winning money is a small consolation prize.

He just needs to slow down a bit, and he can learn from Adama in that respect. It seems like whenever he gets the ball he’s in a rush and doesn’t use his fundamentals to finish a layup/dunk. He got burned a couple times by Ben Gold last game, but he should be able to dominate him in the post.

The team/He don’t do anymore pick and rolls for him

I like either Marquette moneyline (+150 last night) or us -3.5.

DK has a promo with 33% boost on live CBB bets this weekend, good opportunity there too.

Now that betting is finally live, I got the good guys at -3.5. Grabbed us to win the NC too, but odds were worse than last week.

Clingan for whatever the reason didn’t have much of an impact against PC. He’s due for a big game.

I think that will be something to watch. Clingan has played well against them. He needs to show tonight.

That last 19 seconds in regulation, down by one with the. ball, I thought they had it in the bag. Call timeout and run a play? No go 1 on 3 and lose the possession.

Yeah. Or when they picked off the inbounds with like 20 secs left and mike Jones tries to barrel to the hoop and turns it over. Shudda called To there

Fact that you would rather be up one without the ball than down one with the ball in that situation. 75% of the time the team down one with the ball does not score.

The key is shutting down Prosper. He doesn't play well and Marquette has serious issues. Hope Karaban can outplay him tomorrow. That IMO is the key matchup tomorrow.

UConn is the only team to beat Marquette by more than five points this year. I think this will be a battle.

Prosper did a great job on Hawk in Milwaukee but Hawk had his way in Hartford

Then it shall be done. AK has been pumping ice in his veins. Calling out 14-5-3asst 2 bl. Holding prosper to equal points or less.

Bookies like Marquette here. I think it's 50/50. The PG worries me a bit. Turnovers worry me. Crowd will help. I watched nova game last night and crowd was gone. That won't happen tonite. Who guards Kolek? He is obviously the key. Shut him down and I like our chances. Xavier looked gassed last night. Creighton is a problem for us. Let's see what happens.

I think there was a game last month where a team beat Marquette by 18 with a very, very effective gameplan.

Hopefully Hurley & Co. can review the gamefilm from that beatdown to get some hints for how to develop a gameplan for tonight... ;)

The biggest adjustment Clingan needs to make is to stop spending the entire offensive possession setting screens at the three point line.

Set a couple screens at most then dive down low and setup in the paint strong.. Get position down low and demand the ball.

Dan Hurley talks about 4 out, 1 in, offense, but with Donovan we’ve been running a 5 out, 0 in, offense. Doesn’t work.

Doesn't work? We have the 10th best offense in the country. Our center just got 1st team all conference.

I think Clingan scored 20 in our loss against them. For some reason things like that seem to matter. Happens often. Here’s hoping!
Expand ...
what Clingan gets another 20 in a loss?

St Johns could've and should've won that game.

The Marquette pg was the difference. In college good point guard play makes a huge difference. That’s why I think Newton is critical. When he plays well we play well. When he is not playing well we don’t. He isn’t the flashiest name on the floor but he is very important.
 
Looks like the betting public liked us at -4. The line on ESPN is now -4.5. Looks like the Huskie wagon is starting to get full!!!. One game at a time….
