Louisville doesn't win big east championship @ -350

tin8shusd · 03-11-09, 09:43 AM

i do quite a bit, actually. don't get me wrong - lousville is a talented team. but they had the fortune of playing both uconn and pitt and home and only once (they got spanked at home by uconn by 20). they got to play marquette without james, the list goes on and on. although their side of the bracket looks appealling, i just don't see them walking away from msg with the title. good value if it's @ -350

I like it as well. Good value because it should be more like -550.

I been thinking for a few weeks that Syracuse could make a run. I really like Flynn, and they also have an inside presence with Onaku. They SUCK at FT and that could end up being their downfall.

I saw a bracket the other day where Syracuse was a 6 seed and Duke was 3 seed in the same region. I dont see Duke beating Syracuse. It all comes down to matchups and also Syracuse has been known in the past to lay an egg in the Big Dance.

They are definitely on my radar as a sleeper team.

one thing I like about syracuse against duke or any other acc team...is that they can run and score with the best of them....but they are also physical and tough....

this team passers from the 1 thru the 5 better then any team i've seen this year.... very unselfish, they make crisp passes....they get great run-outs and outlet passes ect.

they are very talented and all their players 1-7 can be weapons or role players depending on the game

are you serious???? I thought UConn and Pitt were the favorites to win the tourny, followed closely by Louisville?

chucksmith · 03-12-09, 07:13 AM

TPowell, how in the hell are you going to mock Tyler Hansbrough after the way he absolutely took over the game and sent Louisville home last year? Must have a short memory.....

TPowell · 03-12-09, 07:27 AM

I'd say playing a true road game is what sent louisville home, also the fact that we lost our most talented big man at the end of the first half.

better hope you don't draw us this year either powell

tyler has his 3pt shot on point this time around

TPowell · 03-12-09, 08:02 AM

Tyler will have to keep his monkey ass outside because he's not banging with Samuels or Jennings inside, thats for damn sure. Also, not sure who you have thats going to stop T-Will or Clark

does anyone else?

Louisville has an easy road to the finals.....Providence, then Nova or Marquette. With that said, you would probably get something better than -350 on the other team in the finals. If it's anybody else besides UConn or Pitt in the finals, Louisville will win.

i think uconn or pitt will win so all louisville has to beat is one of them after they beat each other up, so the price isnt right considering lousville has the easiest road
