Sounds about right ... it's not going to be easy.

UConn has a way of throwing in a stinker when their 1st BE game comes on the road. Add in a 9pm start (WTF?) and Florida and we have some disaster potential. Having said that I say we win by double digits.

Vegas says Huskies 64, Bulls 57.

Take the OVER and UCONN -6.5... South Florida is a disaster.

Easy Money

USF always plays UConn tough, but they are 7-6 this year. I see UConn winning by at least 8.

Not to be arrogant, but that line is way too low. South florida sucks, if uconn shows up they should win easily.

 

[77-74]

Stay away.

Doomed.

 

[Peacefrog]

They are on winter break I take it. Shouldn't be a terribly big or raucous crowd????

South Florida plays really slow, so the 6.5 indicates a larger margin of points per possession difference proportionally than vs. a faster opponent. But still, probably too low.

 

[RuffRuff]

Those oddsmakers, they know their sh&t. Score playing right around the line.

UConn was on track to cover until that missed front end by Boatright (could have pushed lead to 10) and then the USF 3.

 

[auror]

What a roller-coaster betting ride.

UConn again looked likely to cover until Lamb fouled that guy shooting the awful-looking 3.

Then UConn looked likely to push 7/cover 6.5 until Lamb missed that last FT

And then that guy hit the miracle 3 at the buzzer to end all doubt.

Gotta love the sure thing.

This is why I refuse to give Vegas credit. That sequence is one in a hundred. They get no respect from me for predictions when it's a BS cover as happens 40% of the time in CBB.

(And no, I did not bet on the game. Finishes like that are why I don't bet on sports.)

I can't bet on my team giving points. I never want to be in a postion to be pissed about a win.

^^^ This or even worse be happy about a loss...

I found a site I can bet fake money (but then cash out for half the value if I win over certain amount, and if I lose I watch some ads and try again), so it takes all the sting away from losing and just lets you enjoy the ride.
