I am looking at the lines and they have Missouri as a three point underdog. I do not follow either of these teams, as I love my ACC basketball. Can someone tell me what I am missing because I feel like this line is a late Christmas present.
If Missouri has won 25 straight in December and are second in the nation in rebounding, I do not see how the young UCLA squad will be able to compete on the boards. They better hope to shoot 65% or better from the field to pull off this upset. I enjoyed the video and you had great insight on this matchup, however, it seems that your facts lean more towards Missouri and not UCLA. Good luck with your bet
UCLA at home with more NBA talent. Possible shooting slump for Phil Pressey. Mizzou could get lulled into playing UCLA's game. Frank Haith is a terrible coach. Ben Howland might be an ass, but he did coach them to 3 straight final fours. Haith was on his way to getting fired by Miami before he got kicked upstairs to Mizzou.
your right terrible coach?? you could accuse him of this last year when he was riding andersons team. this year is his team his recruits. I am curious how many other coaches could have done that. might not be an elite but far from terrible. With comments like that I hope you do not take that into account when you bet. since it is clear you have something agianst him..
Many times we miss knowing why the lines are set at the numbers posted, and it's when we wager on these oblivious events, is when we often ignorantly empty our pockets.
Well Missouri had some horrific play calling in the last four minutes of the game. When a team is up eight points and has the possession, there is no reason for the point guard to be driving and trying to dish the ball with 15+ seconds left on the shot clock. I am glad that I took the +3.5 spread but Mizz should have walked out of UCLA with the win
