    Indiana -20.5 on a neutral floor?

    In a power ratings sense, there is no way you can configure Indiana as 20 points better than Georgia on a neutral floor. I have this line at around +15. I realize Georgia isn't anything special, BUT they are better than the North Dakota team that Indiana only gave 20 AT HOME to. Anybody else like Georgia?

    I would advise that everyone avoid betting Georgia @all costs.

    this....georgia is atrocious man. IU is a legit 10 deep team with a bench that would probably beat georgias starters without too much trouble

    I don't see it. I think at worst I'm betting a coin flip if I have Georgia overvalued. Unless Indiana is hands down the top team in the country or Georgia is literally the worst SEC team in history, this is a good bet

    Impossible to undervalue Georgia.

    we'll see, early in the year you have to play your numbers and hope they're right so we'll see what happens I guess.

    I wouldn't touch GA in any game right now but there is no way to know how something might play out here. When will Indiana pull their starters and save them for title game? I wouldn't touch Indiana here either. Too big of spread and throw in unknown factors.

    Some questionable officiating in the 1st half led to foul trouble. 2nd half they destroyed them like they should have.

    Yes, foul trouble had everything to do with the first half. Our 3 best players riding the pine, no size, no rhythm. 2nd half no foul trouble, Zeller on the floor, and they look completely in rhythm and blow them out by 15.

    Fukkin Loserville fans this year, acting like UK fans.

    The fact that you say they were completely in rhythm in the second half and won it by 15(it was actually 14 but same difference) should tell you everything you need to know about why the line was apparently too high.

    Yes, a completely in rhythm for 40 minutes of basketball Indiana team is apparently in your mind 28 pts better than Georgia. And you think that's even close to a reasonable thing to expect for a college basketball team against a major conference opponent less than 5 games into the season?

    you aren't 20 points better than Georgia on a neutral floor, not today, not tomorrow, and not in March. Here's a list of teams you would be 20 point faves over. Notice they all pretty much suck

    Southern Illinois
    UNC Asheville
    Western Illinois
    Cal Poly
    Houston

    nah Riverside is pretty low in my ratings. Indiana WOULD be around a 28 point favorite against them
