1/28 hoop talk

[survive]

realized there hasn't been the daily thread made yet so here we go. Sizable card tonight with Duke at Notre Dame as the highlight game

[THam12]

public all over duke....

Notre dame looks good.
This is their super bowl. Their guard play is tremendous...but can they deal with the beast jahlil?

They got no size to compete down low. Duke plays well in big road games. But may be a let down after getting coach K his 1000th win. Both teams shoot well - maybe over is a good bet?

Will be a fun game to watch but I got my eye on two other games to bet.

[THam12]

I like oakland -4; james madison -6; notre dame + the pts.

[KRIT]

Notre dame for me.<br><br>whats up with the KU line. They're only favored by 5? Looks like a TCU line. I want to take TCU but they blow.&nbsp;

okafor can get his and duke could lose. the only play is notre dame ml. its not like duke can 'afford' a loss, but public backing + game after 1000th televised hard fought win + virginia saturday on road = value on notre dame. notre dame will definitely be involved somehow for me.

[KRIT]

Washington probably beats Stanford. Love the angle of backing a team after they dismiss a player, even if it was their best player. Revenge game as well.

Zona probably waxes Oregon.

That line screams tcu or nothing

offensively okafor is getting his, gotta get past that.

in conference, zach auguste ranks one spot better than okafor for off rebound %, pat connaughton ranks one better than okafor for def rebound %. may be not 'size' to compete per se, but notre dame gets theirs.

edit: stats per kenpom. just found out about the 'expanded player stat' page, and i'm in heaven.

Udub has like zero size. Anyone know why upshaw got dismissed in the first place, kid was a monster with the blocks.

"Broke team rules..." very stupid answer lol

indiana catching points is attractive, st johns 1h is attractive, and oklahoma should have a field day with texas tech - i doubt lightning strikes twice and we get oklahoma reeling at home, not taking texas tech for granted. i foresee an as$whooping there.

Someone school me on Purdue. I've barely seen them play at all, and when I did they looked like shit against Maryland. I'm always weary of the ranked road team catching pts.

every big 12 tcu home game has been lined similarly and they have yet to cover. wouldnt read much into their lines, i guess their pathetic out of conf schedule helped them post numbers that created value against..

[2daBank]

i hate psu but really dont see much reason to not continue fading a minny team that year in year out is god awful away from home in the big 10.

not when they were already thin up front before hand.. they have nothing down low with jarreau also being out. trees or nothing for me.

[2daBank]

at least penn st doesnt turn it over much. guess that a plus but really the play is based entirely off fading minny on the road in conf cause like i posted last week they been abysmal..

[2daBank]

lsu-4.5 a play for me. scary has proven to be the trash i thought they were. team is a total train wreck and while i worry they might be able to get some easy baskets off turnovers those will prob be their only baskets as they are gonna continue having a miserable time scoring in the half court..

[mrlif1]

anyone else having problems getting to across the streets 'scores & matchup' link? i keep getting an error page.

I like LSU but its hard to back them givint pts.... south carolina really in that bad of shape right now?

NBA working, CBB not. Fukkin` hate the new look on their score page. I used to love it. Maybe will get used to it.

they cant shoot, they have the worst effective fg% in the sec..29% from behind the arc, 41% on 2 point attempts, only 93 points per 100 possessions. all the while they been bad defensively as well ranking in the bottom few in sec in pretty much every defensive category..

yeah i see it on the ncaaf and mlb, maybe thats the reason? getting it all formatted. killing me over here.

[mrlif1]

is there a place to see conference leaders in off/def points in paint per game? when tennessee/ark tipped off last night the announcers mentioned tenn was best at points in paint per game, and i didnt know where to find that.

Just weird the line is so low...

Very true.

KU & TCU have similar numbers statistically, but KU faced the #1 TOUGHEST non-conf SOS while TCU faced the #1 EASIEST non-conf SOS.

to be honest i dont recall a scary line in sec play that hasnt given them more credit than they deserve..ever since they beat isu they have gotten far more respect than they should..

think the play is to wait all day? crossing my fingers for +3, playing the ml regardless.
