    Another Head Scratcher

    Marquette +11.5 against Florida is a head scratcher. I know Todd Mayo is out the semester with academic issues but Vander Blue will be on the floor tonight from what my research says. On a neutral court, I have Florida as a 2 point favorite. Even if I give them a huge home court advantage for their game tonight, I come up with Florida -6 against Marquette at home. We are talking about 5+ points of value in this game.

    Marquette +11 looks good to me too but the move from 9.5 to 11 has me feeling uneasy about this bet...we must be missing something here.

    Marquette lost by 10 to florida in the Tourney last year and aren't as good as last season while Florida is now at home where they can play with lots of energy. Staying away from this one.

    Individual game results are worthless to me. The line was a lot smaller than 10 so that is the number I would use. I think Marquette has a chance to be as good as last year with Otule back and a healthy Gardner. Florida isn't going to be much better than last. They lost their senior point guard and an elite wing in Beal

    shit happens but you have to know that if this game is played 100 times, Marquette covers 11 more than 50. Tough to lose but thats why bankroll management is huge in this sport

    I just don't see how you could back Marquette in this spot, IMO. I loved Florida right from the get go! Loved the RLM going in my favor and always love going against the public. Same with ND tonight, I hope you didn't get caught with Kentucky also.

    Take the Big East blinders off pal. Marquette got their shit handed to them from tip off, they won't be a tournament team, and Florida will be a top 2 seed. And they were at home.

    Bubble team at best. And no this isn't from one game, they looked like shit against a terrible USC team. And I really don't think Butler is a tournament team either.

    First of all, they beat that USC team by 5+ points and Butler had to hit a buzzer beating prayer to beat them and both are potential tourny teams. Second of all, when is the last time Marquette missed the tourny?

    thanks, I knew Williams had been every year and Crean had a great run but didnt remember off the top of my head. Point is, this team is a legit team. Florida may be a final 4 team but that doesn't mean they were the play tonight at all

    Yes, a terrible USC team. They were 6-26 last year and aren't a whole lot better this year. Wtf makes you think they're good? Beating Texas? lol

    Marquette without Crowder and Johnson-Odom are a completely different team. Its Vander Blue and Davante Gardener and that's about it.

    I might take sides with JSmiff on this one. USC is definitely not a great squad. They haven't improved that much from last year and last year for them was atrocious. I don't see USC making the tourney this year. As for Marquette, they significantly dropped from last year. Yes, there coach is good but, losing the players that they did I just don't seem them being a powerhouse team anymore. We will see later into the season how they do.

    not much better? Look at the lines they've got this year opposed to late last year and how they've fared. This USC team may not make they tourny this year but they'll win some games against quality teams and be right there close to the bubble IMO

    Lol ya, they were 5-14 when they lost Fuller, and 2 games later at 5-16 lost Dedmon.
    So Jio Fontan must be the next OJ Mayo huh? No you're right, I'm the penetrating dumbass here.

    We shall see. I agree they should get more wins than last year but, were just going to have to wait and find out.

    Fontan is the best scorer on that team sooooo obviously he's very important. You're an idiot. I hope you don't bet college hoops for your own stake. Look at the lines you penetrating idiot

    4th leading scorer, another good try tho. And I'm up 50 units already this year, I think I'll keep betting....
