    Can SMU Cover/Beat Louisville?
    Very surprised to see Louisville only -2. Would have thought they would be around -4 since they were just -4.5/-5 in Memphis. Maybe I'm just way off here. Probably the biggest game for SMU in decades. Can they pull the upset?

    Have a hard time believing Pinnacle is letting people load up on Louisville -2.5 +108.

      SMU Coach Larry Brown does not sound real confident.

      "We're not going to be able to hang with Louisville unless we have a better crowd than we had with Cincinnati, and I didn't think that was possible. But we'll see."

          I can see it happening. SMU is really good at home. Louisville way overrated.
          People didn't think Creighton would lose 2 straight and they did.
          Even if Louisville wins, not gonna be by much.
          SMU +3.5

            It's probably just my blind hatred for them because I get burns everytime I touch them. Same goes for Memphis

                I would not want to bet against SMU at home. Line has went down to +2 from +3.5 since this morning.

                            It just seems like this situation is just a little too large for SMU.
                            Too much local hype and too much pressure!

                            More often than not, Teams in this situation keep things close and then fall off at the end of the game.

                            Taking a Louisville and Chicago Bulls ML Parlay, just for grins.

                                Hard game to get a read on. Hard to bet against Pitino coming off a loss, but this is the biggest game at Moody Coliseum in three decades.

                                  Box score

                                  I dont usually put any weight in previous meetings and box scores, but when they played before SMU shot terribly from the floor, line and three, but the one stat is SMU outrebounded Louisville by 13 and offensively they outrebounded Lousville by 14 and only lost by 8.

                                    SMu crushed my bearcats at SMU. UL and UC are very similiar.

                                    SMU wins SU here. UL keeps getting to be a -3 to -5 fav on the road in conference vs good home teams. I dont get why.

                                      F-ing clown. Arguably the biggest game in 20 years for SMU and you didn't prep them right Larry? LoL.
