I was thinking the same thing. Why is it so low? Injuries? Trap game?
I really want to hammer it before tomorrow, I think the line will go up. I don't know Maryland at all though, don't know how they play, and not so sure about cuse on the road.
Just based on the record. (I know it's not a good way to look at games)

Maryland struggles to shoot from the 3 point line, but they will give the Cuse trouble in one area, offensive rebounding. One of the weaknesses of the 2-3 zone is that boxing out is a little more difficult as you are playing an area and not a man. Maryland has some beef inside that should be able to generate a number of 2nd chances.

Cuse loses two games and all of a sudden they "suck"...
Overreaction on at its finest. Play ball boys, play ball.

At least one of the Syracuse players (maybe others that haven't spoke up) blame the loss on the coach's technicals. What's going to be the morale in that locker room? The players are tired and probably don't have much confidence right now. They don't have much time to shake it off either. On the other side, Maryland will be playing with 5 days rest at home. They played Virginia tough and came within 2 points of beating Duke on the road in the last week. They need a signature win and might get it tomorrow. Maryland could be the play. I know it's hard to imagine Syracuse losing 3 straight, but they're in a tough situation right now.

Jim Has complete control of their morale. They won't let last week take a toll on this week. Guarantee. There is reason that this guy is a hall of fame coach. He knows what he's doing.

Syracuse will have to find some offense if they expect to cover. They already have a hard enough time covering at home.

Syracuse usually doesnt blow anyone out most of the time. Dogs have a shot of covering in large spreads but cuse usually extends or takes a lead during the final second half minutes with turnovers and great defense. Cuse should win by 6 or 7 as long as they have their head on straight...

Cuse has only scored only 70 twice in acc play so if Maryland wants to win they need to score and since cuse like to play down to their competition this game could get interesting

I think cuse ML could be the play. I don't think they will lose 3 straight but the 4 could be too many to lay on the road vs a team who is playing pretty good ball

Maryland tends to play well in big games at home. Same goes with their football program. This game could come down to the wire.

I capped this game and have cuse winning by 6 and the total at 132. I'll be on cuse-4.5 simply because I have it at 6 and they have got to be pissed off from losing 2 in a row and the way the last game ended. Staying off the total. GL

On Maryland +4.5 and ML. Too many points for a team that's lost to BC at home followed by such an emotional loss at Duke. Wouldn't be surprised if Syracuse loses 4-5 of their last 6 games. Definitely going to lose saturday!

It was CJ Fair saying that if Boeheim didn't get the Technical then maybe they would've had a chance to win still. It was only a quote and the media could have taken it out of context, but He def did say it.

I don't think what Fair said matters. He is stating the truth. Boeheim will even acknowledge he lost them the game by giving Duke 4 FTs. He will have his guys out & ready to play tonight. Plus, I don't see them losing 3 in a row.

big difference between saying maybe we could have still won & it was the coaches fault that we lost

and on that note I think cuse has the tools to cover here. maryland chucks jump shots, missed shots lead to run outs, especially with cuse 2-3 zone. maryland bigs wont be able to guard fair, grant, etc. Ennis a facilitator who wont shoot as bad as he did against duke.

Sick insight..... Anyway's I cannot see Cuse losing at all. Whether Fair said something or not, that should not affect this team. Keita is finally back, and Cuse will not lose its 3rd straight games. When I saw this line, my jaw dropped. I locked it in last night at -2.5 and now its around -4.5. I still see the line moving a little more.
Maryland will not be able to roll with Cuse the whole game. The zone is too much for them, they better be hot from the 3 pt. line or this game is over in the first 10 min.
Lets get it Cuse!

Depends, someone go ask cooney if he is done playing like a he's been boozing it up non-stop. If He could have hit a shot to save his life cuse would still be undefeated. If cuse doesn't hit 3's the defense collapses and it makes life miserable for fair, grant and even ennis.
Still have to think there is value here with Cuse.

However, lets not forget that Syracuse lost 4 out of their last 5 regular season games last year, and they were looking solid all season. They did play well in the Big East Tourney and the NCAA's so who knows. Definitely not worth a large bet.
