    Why did Washington open only -2 over Colorado?

    Makes no sense to me. Huskies aren't quite as good as past years but I still would have to say they are the more talented team here in this matchup.

    Both teams are at 11-5. Washington has looked solid of late while Colorado has struggled since getting robbed at Zona. I would have thought Washington would have opened closer to what they are now at -5. Seems to me that books like Colorado here.

    Thoughts?

    I'm just glad I got it at -2. I think 5 or whatever it got to seems like too much. 3.5 or so seems about right. Colorado is better than other years, and Washington is worse.

    Colorado has played a lot of close games so to get that number is a big deal considering this one probably stays fairly tight throughout.

    What I want to know is why the OU closed at 139? Sure looks like a slugfest. Waiting for the 2h under to pound.

    Did you get a 2nd half total? If so what was it? Be careful, both teams shot god awful, if its under 65-70 I wouldn't touch it.

    it was 72.5, and you were right.

    man unders are tough. Looked way under until the fouls and quick meaningless scoring happened at the end, that always destroys an easy under. covered by 2.5 only

    I rarely if ever bet O/U for that reason. Too frustrating, and I hit about 30% of them.

    I did play this, at 72, and it got scary close at the end but did still hit and never looked in doubt til the very very end. Made back some of what I lost thinking Colorado would wake from their Arizona hangover. Man, what a shame about them, they vanished.

    I'm sure that's what KenPom's projection was.
