Super Saturday 12/19 Hoops Card

[DOM_Toretto]

Thursday and Friday NCAAB cards are duds... Let's look ahead to a super Saturday in NCAAB.

Spreads obviously aren't released yet but we can discuss the games early.

Villanova @ Virginia
I like Nova to win outright here, which would make them a juicy 3-5 point dog probably. They're a much better shooting team and it should show in this matchup.

UNC - UCLA @ Barclays Center
I think UNC gets the W here so any spread -7 or below would be nice

Ohio State - UK @ Barclays Center
Kentucky ought to be a 10-12 pt fav, right?

Butler - Purdue in Indy
Obviously, Purdue will have major size advantage. But Butler is always scrappy, especially in these in-state neutral games. Will have to look into this one more.

Oklahoma State @ Florida
Gators should be favored by 8 or more and could certainly cover in the swamp. Much more physical team and without Forte I can't buy into okie st.

Baylor - Texas A&M
I like A&M in this matchup and I'll take them anything -7 or less. Spread could be weird and be more like a basket difference tho.

Utah - Duke @ MSG
If Duke is lay 5 or more I'll be on the Utes and they have the more aggressive, better scoring big man who can do damage down low. Utah will come to play and look to avenge their ncaa tourney loss last March.

Plenty of other good games too... Check in guys, let me know what you're thinkin. Let's get ahead of this one and CRUSH the biggest card yet this season!

[DOM_Toretto]

Flipper, Thammer, L'kid, Diggity... Cmon guys check in.

Biggest & best hoops card of the season so far.

[DOM_Toretto]

Wichita state should take care of seton hall even on the road. Without Gibbs, the Pirates' guards stand no chance against the Shockers' backcourt. Delgado may be troublesome down low but wichy was able to get by a much more talented Poetle. Wichy St -5 would be nice.

Indiana -9 or so vs ND in a very favorable matchup that may turn into a 3pt shooting contest. With favorable matchup for thomas bryant, and a team who doesn't turn opponents over, Hoosiers should run up the score big time.

Rhode Island should be able to cover double digits vs Iona in their first game without star AJ English and his 25 ppg. Iona will be lost without English, on the road, doesn't smell good for the Gaels.

[DOM_Toretto]

So early spreads released... Initial reactions below.

A few spreads I like, that landed near where I expected:
Nova +5
UK -9
Butler +6
Florida -7.5

A few spreads I LOVE and I think are way off:
Indiana +1
Wichita State +1.5
UNLV +11.5
Utah +8
Northwestern -3
Rhode Island -7
Texas PK

[goldust]

I think I'll tail on Wichita and URI, at least.

[Louisvillekid1]

I'll be active in this thread later tonight

[DOM_Toretto]

Seeing some corrections on those whacked lines already... NU -6 now, UK up to -10, URI -10.5 now much more realistic than -7...

I will be monitoring these lines and maybe place a few favs at midnight, while waiting on dogs til the morning like 8am.

[FlipsideRM]

Don't see this yesterday. Really liking wichy, Utah + points and Nova in the early games. Waiting on Aj English news for night cap vs Rhode Island.

AJ English definitely out, just hand hand surgery. And it looks like Casimir is also out. I already booked URI -11

[CappinTerp]

Yea, a lot of good games today.....so far I bet a reverse:Buffalo -12 and Over 157(same)...still capin more games...that Oakland/WASH total of 172,very high, but will prob. go over. Not that impressed with Duke,think Utah will win this one outright...........good luck guys.

Out to 4.5, I got it at 3 last night. 20 turnovers for hall today?

[PorkChop]

Michigan State -9, should run through Northeastern with double digit ease.
Northwestern - 4, Small line on road for much better team

[survive]

Butler +5.5

Yes and DePaul has maybe 50 people show up to their games, it's pathetic.

[DOM_Toretto]

Yeah most likely. I finally got it now at -4. I was good with anything -5 or less, but it wouldn't 'shock' me if they won by 15-20. The guard mismatch is just huge and the defensive style works well vs this turnover-prone team, and we know defense travels.

[PorkChop]

Cinci -1.5 looks solid.

Defense should be too much for VCU. Both teams need it, Cinci should pull away late

Porky if I had to pick a spot here I'd be with you on this, but like you said, cincy should pull away late. I expect VCU to hang close most of this game like they have with several other good teams, I just can't put money that cincy pulls away or VCU snags a big win finally at home... GL tho

[kenz]

Anton Grady questionable for Wichy State

Yea this is whats slightly holding me back. Desperate VCU team at home.

[goldust]

Texas -2 seems low. Should they dominate this game ultimately?

[terrortwylight]

Michigan State -9, should run through Northeastern with double digit ease.

Why are you so sure??

I'm a Sparty homer but Huskies' losses have all come away to Miami (Ohio), Detroit and Western Michigan by a total of 10 points. They followed the loss in Ohio with a road win over then-No. 15 Miami, their first over a Top 25 opponent in almost 29 years.

[chosen4th]

I tailed the Nova play... ive bet on them a few times this year so have watched them.. i knew i shouldnt have bet them. All they do is take bad shots, and like someone said above live and die by the 3. Im a terps fan, and i know they would wipe the floor with these guys.

Got those early picks. For my late picks, I like Zags and under Iona/Rhode Island game.

[goldust]

Indiana has brutally awful defense.

[goldust]

Well, glad I jinxed it.
