Ive been looking in to those viewing parties, so you think its worth the money? Were staying at a shit hole cause a guy got us all comped, we have a whole hotel floor to ourselves. But was looking for places to get out and watch the games during the day/night. Im sure everything is packed

IRISH626 · 03-04-15, 02:32 PM

I'll be there the 18-22nd, our party has dwindled to 4 (used to be 25). Vegas.com has a whole list of viewing party options

Louisvillekid1 · 03-04-15, 02:37 PM

One conf future for me

New Hampshire to win America East +1500

They have been on of the hottest teams in the nation winning 12 of last 15 and they lost both games vs #1 seed Albany by 3 points combined.

They also have wins over #2 and #3 seeds..

15/1 worth a shot here imo

BeanTownClown88 · 03-04-15, 02:51 PM

Is hartford the play with the points? More upper class upperman but nh is higher scoring and much better at rebounding..anyone confident either way?

Def worth the $ in alcohol alone.. Beer and all well drinks.. Must have had 15-20 honey jack and waters last year.. Had live betting stations set up to beat the rush.. Had a basketball court where drunk games of knockout were going down.. About 20 screens plus a jumbotron scoreboard in the middle.. It's at the theatre at the Cosmo.. Food is nothing special dogs, nachos, pretzels and chips but with atmosphere and drinks def worth it for my group.. We are going on the Thursday this year.. Last year did it Friday.. Always good going to bed at 4 and knowing you don't have to battle for a spot to watch to the games in a couple hrs..

GHSCREW · 03-04-15, 03:46 PM

Doesn't matter where you are brother, not this time of year...

Louisvillekid1 · 03-04-15, 04:26 PM

Webb almost blew that cover

survive · 03-04-15, 04:27 PM

I was in Vegas last year for opening weekend with a group of friends and it was a ton of fun. That being said, from a betting standpoint I almost prefer to just bet from home this year . Sportsbooks packed and waiting in a long line to get bets in was kind of annoying. Idk obviously I rather be there than at work and freezing my ass off here in ️CHI but I think I'm ok with taking a year off this year

Louisvillekid1 · 03-04-15, 04:30 PM

I would be partying way too much, prob best I'm home as I can get outta control lol...

Also I'd be placing most of my wagers w/ my locals anyway lol, prob just bet round robins w/ cash.

Too many other fun things to do w/ cash in vegas, wouldnt want to shortchange myself...

I def want to do it eventually but I'd rather have a suite set up with several tv's or something like that, but then again I haven't been so Im just thinking out loud.

Louisvillekid1 · 03-04-15, 04:32 PM

Also I'd imagine they don't allow labtops or tablets??

mrlif1 · 03-04-15, 06:15 PM

aynone put much stock into nevada coach retiring and the ceremony being held tonight? dont care about senior night as nevada wont have much to celebrate, and i cant get confirmation on avilas status. any insight is appreciated.

GT21Megatron · 03-04-15, 06:36 PM

yup and the went to a juco school I believe...,Longwoods coach came from Cleveland State and got him to come....he's already been in trouble at Longwood for punching a guy's teeth out during a dance battle. no bullshit

Louisvillekid1 · 03-04-15, 06:57 PM

Louisvillekid1 · 03-04-15, 07:00 PM

6 Kennesaw St @ 3 USC Upstate

The Owls lost both match-ups this year by 3 on the road (68-65) & drilled at home by 28 (74-46).

No injuries that I see

The owls have only 2 road conference wins this year @ Jacksonville by 1 (51-50) & @ Stetson by 5 (61-56). Both the bottom dwellers of there Atlantic Sun.

USC Upstate has showed several signs this year at times that they can pull off an upset or 2 in this tournament. They have one of the best scorers in the Nation in Ty Greene and they really get after you on the defensive end. The Spartans force a ton of turnovers and really make it difficult to get good looks at times.

This game is route city even though its the 3/6 match-up I wouldn't bet against this one being the biggest scoring differential. Spartans will get plenty of second chance points and w/ a player like Ty Greene could give FGC everything they want in the next round.

Unfortunately books will prob be on this and set a line around 14/15.

If it was 11/12 I'd take a shot here on the favorite.

7 Jacksonville @ 2 Florida Gulf Coast

These squads split this season first stomping the Dolphins by 29 @ home (79-50) & then just losing to them by 8 on the road (75-67) to close the season.

The Eagles win with defense and second chance points for the most part. They really defend the 3 (10th in the nation) which is important here as the Dolphins can really stroke it.

If I had to take a shot playing this game I might take a flyer on the Dolphins 1h. We could see an inflated line because of the FGC tourney run and they actually have dropped 2 straight, while the Dolphins should come in with confidence after pulling the upset last week. If this line is like 14ish and you get Jacksonville +8ish 1H is might be worth a small investment imo.

Anyway, that's my thoughts on the first round off the Atlantic sun, Nothing jumps out as a full play to me and I will post if I do play anything.

Ideally I would hope for FGC to roll and USC Upstate to squeak by and give us a big line with the Spartans as I think they could pull off the upset

Pretty much already wrote about this, but sign me up for Upstate +4 for a unit. Books aren't dumb as I was hoping we get more because everyone knows Gulf Coast and nobody knows about Ty Greene and Upstate.

With the same logic you'd think it might be smart to hold off but the opener is showing me its time to lock this in. (although Im no expert line reader and im wrong all the time)

Louisvillekid1 · 03-05-15, 12:36 PM

Holy Cross vs Bucknell

I'll take a shot here w/ Holy Cross +3 1H. They lead at half in both prior meetings, as they split the season series. The Bison albeit more talented than the Crusaders but they are much less experience. Many freshman get playing time and a few start. Holy Cross is lead by upper class-men, meaning this isn't their first Conference tournament.

Im banking on the fact that Holy Cross just played hoping the Bison might be a little nervous and show some rust being off for a week.
