Looks way too easy. On top of that it started at -4 and the line's down. I don't know why.

Thoughts?

Yes way to easy. I dont like Butler here actually, this is UIC's first televised games and they have been playing well as of late. They matchup good with Butler because Matt Howard is facing against UIC Senior Scott Vandermeeyer who is like a 7"3 giant. Its at the Pavillion and star guard Josh Mayo will be looking for another 25 point game.

Butler was raining 3's last time, but they have proven they cannot do it consistently each game. Against Detroit they won 54-50 because their 3 pointers wouldnt fall and Matt Howard had a big game. Butler is gonna be chucking to win this game, and its a coin flip if it will happen.

Id take UIC at the better odds, at home, and looking for some recognition after stumbling out of the gate in Horizon play but proven that they can take on decent major schools like Vandy and Ga Tech. Yes Ga Tech is bad but think of the big men that UIC beat , LAWAL, and Peacock.

Thanks.

butler is due for a letdown today... stay away from it...

[awhitejackson]

I dont know, its not like Butler gets that much recognition....I think they'll be up and ready for a ESPN2 game...Maybe a letdown next week???

I like the money line better. Butler -150 4.5 units to win 3.

[Euphoria38]

UIC is up 14-6 Butler is shooting < 20 % currently =)

[Euphoria38]

BTW When Butler had AJ Graves last year they only won by 5.

[Euphoria38]

28-17 HT, heres some good stats for you guys:

Butler
3-21 3 pointers
7-31 Shooting Overall

17 ****ing points. LOL

And Howard and Veasely are in foul trouble. Good defensive struggle Butler needs the big men or UIC can dominant with the below average 7 footer.

butler is beat

[keitht]

butler is way over rated

[Hotdiggity11]

Trap game.

[unde0087]

All these small conferences always have these lopsided halfs, none of these teams can play for a full game, I wouldn't be suprised to see Butler dominate the second half.

[Euphoria38]

Yea it is a trap, people look at Butler and go oh look they dominated Loyola they can do the same to UIC. But what the typical cappers overlook are the mismatches. UIC has the leading scorer in the conference and their center is 6 inches taller than Butler's best rebounder. And the stats follow, except for Mayo. Butler is beng outrebounded by 8.

[Euphoria38]

BTW this isnt over you have to figure Butler will shoot the ball better than < 30% in the second half and make it close. But if Butler is continually out rebounded they will lose this game. You cannot **** that stat up ever.

[Dfjay9]

Butler wins the 2nd half. Make back your cash.

[Euphoria38]

17 points for the 18th ranked team though? Does anyone remember last year when George Washington played St Louis and the Half Time score was 13 - 11?

[awhitejackson]

Not a trap game.....Butler will roll here down only 4

[unde0087]

ya, i am so sick of all these people talking traps, Butler shot shitty in the first half and now is playing the way they normally do, its called being cold for a half not a trap, I bet I still cash Bulter -2.5

[Hotdiggity11]

Let's go Butler lets go.

[curious]

Why do you even pay attention to idiots who call a game as over after the first 5 minutes? Anything can happen in college basketball. Hell, I had a team that was up the entire game, leading by 5 with 1 and 1/2 minutes left and lost by 7. And it was a huge moneyline play on a large fav. A nationally ranked team against a scrub team.

[so im zach]

How much do you like Gordon Hayward?

[unde0087]

tell em Curious, so much for the big trap game, like i said they shot bad for a half then came to play

[accuscoresucks]

butler starting to pull away guys

[Euphoria38]

You not only shot bad for the first half, you were out rebounded, had more turnovers and had 0 trips to the foul line. You were dominated for 1 half of basketball. And now because UIC is shit you are winning by 5. That is what atters

ya, your point, I am on the right side

[Euphoria38]

Oh well on to the next game.

[Euphoria38]

Hey keep playing Butler you'll eat shit eventually. haha

Butler always does this. So does Syracuse. Lots of teams do this. I have no idea why.

[accuscoresucks]

uic
game should of never been this close unreal but it does happen

[Hotdiggity11]

Trap game? Guess not, I stand corrected. Now a free throw game, Butler -2.

[curious]

Okay so Oklahoma State makes another moneyline dog that led the entire game and throw it away in the last minute or two. What is going on today?

[awhitejackson]

Money Money Money Money .......

[so im zach]

ship the funds

[accuscoresucks]

good way to start the day
