I've said it all year and I continue to believe this: We will either win comfortably or lose excruciatingly. I do not see in between.

Yes, if the line is -9, there's a chance we let a 15 point lead be cut to 8 or whatever. But I think it's much more likely that we win by 15-20 or the game comes down to the last possession. (There's also a chance that in the unlikely event of a close game in our favor, fouling pushes the lead to 10-11 in the end anyway.)

If I were allowed to bet on this (living in NY, I'm not, sadly), I would bet both UConn -9 (say, $55 at -110) and a small amount on Iona moneyline (say, $15 at +330).

Edit: I also love Under 143.5 in this game. Yes, Iona plays a high variance pressing style that can lead to short possessions, but I also don't see us being particularly aggressive in taking advantage, and both teams can be so-so in the halfcourt.

You’re in NY and you can’t bet?

Any one in Mass.? Can you bet UCONN on mobile?
I can yes. Fanduel is running another promo up here if ONE point is scored in the UConn game, you bet $50 to win $50. It’s like the 5th or 6th one they had of that kind since betting went live here a week ago. Trying to create more degenerates. :)I’m happy to take their money

No offense, but betting both sides is a clear cut losing strategy so it's probably for the best that you can't do it.

I'm swimming in bonus bets right now.

It will probably be more advantageous to livebet UCONN at a reduced number if they come out of the blocks slow.
