    Anyone else surprised by USF being -2?

    They dominated Vill twice this year and have played well down the stretch. Is this a case of bookmakers overvaluing Vill after beating a lifeless Rutgers team?

    This is the same thing as the detroit and valp game. You know the correct pick... This has nothing to do with overvaluing Nova.

    USF will win. They want to take out their frustration on Nova after losing to West Virginia last week. ML it, winner.

    Villanova has been horrific all year. How can anyone be surprised?

    The surprise is the line being -2 instead of 5 or 6 when they have dominated them twice this year. Lines have been inflated for games like this recently.

    Neutral site has much to do with the line being set so low. No way USF should be favored by any more on a neutral court.

    Neutral court - that's why line is low. USF's defense is intense. Their offense is piss poor but you gotta believe that their defense shut down Nova twice already and they'll do it again. They want to impress in this tournament and Nova is just a stepping stone for them in their first tournament game.

    I only bet USF at home, where they get alot of calls, seem to be the better road team between the two though, although when youre on their side youll be pulling your hair out at their inability to put the ball in the hoop.

    USF is an easy pick to win this game. They are the team more suited for tournament play

    Malik Wayne's carries nova on his back. Nova in the upset. Usf is trash.

    This line confuses me. 80% of public on USF, yet the line has moved from -2.5 to -2. The reverse line movement reminds me of the Valpo Detroit game yesterday in which everybody was all over Valpo, and Detroit got a decisive win. Without looking at the line movement, this game is either a USF -2 or no bet for me. So, it's definitely a no bet for me. Something is fishy. Instead, I will be playing the over 120 for 2 units.

    USF held teams under 50 nearly every game this year.

    What are you basing your Over 120 bet on?
