Cuse Tommorrow

TPowell · 03-21-09, 08:44 PM

I'm on Arizona State, have them in the Elite 8 in all my brackets. I really think Harden and Pendergraph are one of the best 1-2 punches in college basketball.

moneyline · 03-21-09, 09:00 PM

Cuse can't hit FT's, they play sloppily when shots aren't dropping for them ... I've watched them play my alma mater twice this season -- Villanova -- and the Cuse has looked pathetic. So I guess I am biased in that regard ...

jellobiafra · 03-21-09, 09:19 PM

Isotopes --

Where are you seeing the line moving to 3? I just looked up some figures and the line looks to be moving the OTHER direction at most books. I saw one book with it at 3 and that's where it started on that board. I'v seen it run through 2.5 and back down to 2. I've even see it at 1.5. I just created a thread about this because 82% of the side action is on Syracuse, but the line doesn't seem to be responding in kind, which to me is fishy. Makes me think the books like ASU.

cuse has had a roller coaster year.... I stay away from betting them in general..... they are kinda like the bulls in the NBA

I also have a love/hate relationship with devendorf... I'm thinking of seeking counseling to help me understand it more fully

ASU

pavyracer · 03-21-09, 11:04 PM

Syracuse will demolish ASU tomorrow. They won't know what hit them. Cuse has the coaching advantage. Do not discount the fact the game starts at noon eastern which is 9 am Arizona time. Looked what happened to UCLA today on a morning game for them. ASU is only a tad better than UCLA and Syracuse is better than Nova.

This is my biggest bet of the tourney so far. Syracuse -2.5 is the one and only play.

Chi_archie · 03-21-09, 11:05 PM

where has ASU been staying since tuesday or wednesday?

caseyking2 · 03-21-09, 11:15 PM

I will keep riding the syracuse money train through this tournament until it runs out.. LETS GO ORANGE MEN!!!

Agreed. Really like Arizona St.

Chi_archie · 03-21-09, 11:25 PM

harden won't have two bad games in a row... just thought of that angle too.... I have Asu in my brackets i believe

moneyline · 03-21-09, 11:36 PM

Syracuse is better than Nova? You, sir, are an idiot. They've played twice this season and Nova beat their asses both times, the 2nd one being in the Carrier Dome.

Better than Nova? Your credibility is officially shot.

pavyracer · 03-21-09, 11:37 PM

Who won the Big East tourney Ace?

moneyline · 03-22-09, 12:04 AM

Um, not Syracuse? Ace.

(you didn't even know that ... wow ... you keep sinking lower and lower)

I don not understand how you have Cuse as a better team then Nova

Cheme82 · 03-22-09, 12:09 AM

People were laying off Villanova yesterday because everyone was on them. Some people jumped on UCLA just because of that, and look at what happened, what I thought would happen.

Same thing tomorrow, the Orange rolls.

They are both #3 seeds.

moneyline · 03-22-09, 12:14 AM

And Pavy thought the Cuse won the Big East tourney. Bless his heart.

By his logic, Duke is better than Oklahoma and Memphis, because they are all #2 seeds

VVET · 03-22-09, 12:15 AM

Orange is rolling, hungry and I just grabbed them at -2.5. BOL everyone.

I agree, my friend...congrats to us with Nova.

Yes but that is because Cuse was overhyped

they played good in that home big east tournament

before that who did they beat???

pavyracer · 03-22-09, 12:19 AM

It's a personal opinion issue. You say Cuse is hyped...I say Nova is hyped.

moneyline · 03-22-09, 12:20 AM

Not Villanova. Neither time. Not in Philly. Not at the Carrier Dome. Not during the 2008-09 season ..

(but they are the better team anyway

)

Pavy is waiting for Nova to make the FF before admitting they are not overhyped. He'd rather hitch his star to a team that jumped in the rankings because of a 6 OT game that meant something only to one of the teams involved.

(Pavy, whatever you are betting on the Cuse tomorrow, just send me half and save the other half ... that way we will both be in better shape than we are right now)

MJFtheGenius · 03-22-09, 12:27 AM

well we see what happens tommorow. I actaully like Syracuse....

I am 4-10 in the tourney so far...not too late to change your mind

moneyline · 03-22-09, 12:33 AM

I'm rooting for them because I love the fact the Big East represents better than all of the others ... and the Pac-10 is weak, so they just might make it to the Sweet time ...

Ticon18 · 03-22-09, 12:35 AM

Cuse big time. Lets go Cuse and Duke the only 2 teams i care bout. Its all bout my hometown boys Johnny Flynn and Paul Harri

Yea it's more of a pac 10 fade.

ASU can knock down 3 after 3 especially that glasser guy

Should be a good game but I think more then not Cuse wins this game

Kansas (@ Kansas)
Memphis (@ Memphis)
West Virginia
Marquette (@ Marquette)

Arizona State beat:

BYU (same day that the Orange won in memphis by 7, ASU had to hold on at home to win by one)
UCLA ( in OT @ UCLA, and @ home)
Arizona (@ Arizona, and @ home)

If you ask me I believe the Syracuse's wins are better. Plus they are the hotter team right now.

Cheme82 · 03-22-09, 12:56 AM

And I agree with the 3's. That's the one thing that concerns me tomorrow. Hopefully they don't go 3 crazy like they do on their big wins (usually hit at least 40% from 3). I'm thinking they'll be more like the game they lost at home against Stanford where they only hit 8 out of 30.

that home bigeast tournament? the garden is 6 hours from syracuse making Seton Hall and UCONN way closer to home than Cuse was champ. They beat UCONN at a NEUTRAL site only one week ago. They are going to do to ASU what nova did to UCLA only 24 hours earlier.

icsky3 · 03-22-09, 02:22 AM

I just hope this game gets up to let's sayyyy -4.5?? I know that's a huge jump in a line, but with all the damn money flowing to the "Cuse" I believe 4.5 is a enough for ASU to cover. If it stays where it is well that's a little different. See this being a 1-2 possession ball game.

tbill11 · 03-22-09, 02:25 AM

I've got Cuse also. Orangemen started off the season with the ranking that they deserved, had a rocky season, and is finally playing up to their potential. Harden will probably play well because he had such a bad game against Temple, but there is no way Glasser has the game of his life twice in a row. Doubt Pendergraph's gonna put up 22 with Paul Harris on him all night. Picked up Syracuse at -1.5 yesterday, and expecting them to roll by much more than that.

isotopes · 03-22-09, 02:25 AM

Ok, so it seems split. Here is something that most people don't know or factor. Onuaku is a huge part of the cuse team. He had tendinitis in one of his legs and was averaging under 5 points during cuse losses in the big east. Now healthy, last 8 games, and cuse is a different team. Maybe it doesn't seem big to most people, but cuse has been a different team. ASU will be tough, but cuse is a different team with him healthy. I'm thinking cuse moneyline, and the spread change was on sportsinteraction.com don't hear much on here about them, but they have been solid in pay outs for me, regulated in canada.

ICEMAN888 · 03-22-09, 02:29 AM

I was of the mind that Villanova was a trap against UCLA and look where that went. I am playing Syracuse -2. So you should all probably fade it cuz my picks of late have been horrible.

DrStale · 03-22-09, 03:07 AM

Arizona State is a very good team that has hit their stride over the last few weeks. They have great athletes that are very hard to beat when they play together as a team, which they have been doing very well recently. I dont think it stops now when they play a Syracuse team that has been playing over their heads for quite a while. ASU takes this one by 5.
