Allright, just because IU CAN beat Nicholls State by 30 will they? I was burned a couple games back when they dropped in the bench at the end of the game and blew a 28 pt lead. I do not know how much scoring differential matters in terms of national rankings, but I do NOT believe IU's team or Coach Crean will allow the flood gates to open. School is out, finals are over and IU has these guys and Kenneshaw State on Sunday.

I like the Spirit of the Holidays play and take Nicholls +28. What ya think?

On the Nebraska - Omaha vs. Minnesota, I am all over Minney. Sure, NEO hung with Iowa early and UNLV, but Richie Pitino wants to make a splash and will run it up on these guys. 2X on the Gophers.

Since you are asking what we think...... I live in Omaha and I have been impressed with what UNO has been doing this year. They are 4-1 ATS. They were 30 pt dogs at Iowa and lost by 8. They were 7 pt dogs at Nevada and won outright. I've never seen this team play (I'm a Creighton fan) but they are doing good things. Local radio calls them the 2nd best team in Nebraska. (Creighton then UNO then Nebraska). This time of year I ask what the environment will be like at Minnesota. (are the students all home for the holidays? Will there be a loud student section?) I personally think UNO hangs around 10 points the entire game.

That is the input I am looking for, thanks Husker. When I get outside of the conference, I am a little off as I have been running and refining Big Ten teams, courts, officials for 6 years. Throw in a team that doesn't get into the pre-conference play that often (I have not seen Nebraska-Omaha play yet) and my math gets thrown. You have started my re-thinking.

The students have bailed, finals were this week and they split. The comparison, home court tell me Minney by 17-20. The public is all over NEO, so it may drive the line late in the day when people get off work.

I appreciate the input.

Juan- was leaning IU with ND loss etc.... Not sure this crews has the killer instinct to clear the 30. Thoughts?

JOHNNY DOBBS · 12-20-13, 12:34 PM

im on neb omaha and IU, minny will prolly roll and st nick will cover, or **** versa

JOHNNY DOBBS · 12-20-13, 12:34 PM

woah, you cant say ****?

juanitodelfuego · 12-20-13, 02:28 PM

I do not see them hammering them, they backed off and with students gone, and Crean's coaching demeanor, and the fact that the only blowout they handed was to Samford, I just don't see it. You know me, I always lean Crimson and Cream, but I feel Crean putting the bench out there tonight.

Tommy Karate · 12-20-13, 08:51 PM

juanitodelfuego · 12-20-13, 09:03 PM

would have had them both, if Yogi drove the lane for contact instead of throwing up a 3 like me in my driveway. Hey, did you go by a different SBR handle couple years back? TV show/ mans first name?
