    LMAO!!! Providence +13!!! What are the books smoking???

    The friars are playing as good as anybody in the Big East currently and I get them +13 in this spot? They have the PG is takes to run the offense against the orange zone. They are at the top of the league in talent and it's all starting to click.

    Gimme a break w/ this line , its 4.5 - 5 points off imo.

    Also:

    How can you not take Vandy +10.5, we have no clue how this UK team is going to respond. I'll take the DD Dog here as well.

    Funny you should mention this -- I'm looking at this game right now, and after crunching numbers, I'm confused and baffled by this line as well.

    I wouldn't want to play this team late and into the conference tournament season.

    Almost makes me gun shy -- like they see something I don't.

    I figured it'd be in that 10-11 range (at most). Instead it opens at 12.5 and goes to 13.

    I think it's so high because they blew them out last year at home.
    Just a guess

    I really don't think people understand how good Providence is playing right now, they are honestly playing as good as anybody in the BIg East. Ed Cooley is a very underrated coach, just imagine how good they be if Ledo could of make grades...

    The Friars are shooting 50% and averaging 0.97 points per play vs zone in their last 4 games, compared to 35% shooting and 0.77 points per play in their first 21 games. Syracuse leads the country in zone defense plays this season. * During its 4-game win streak, Providence is holding opponents to 21.3% shooting from beyond the arc. Syracuse has really struggled to make 3-pointers in its 4 losses this season, making just 22.2% of its 3-point field goals, by far the worst 3-point field goal percentage in losses in the Big East. Overall, Syracuse's 3-point field goal percentage of 32.3% this season ranks 10th in the Big East.

    My power ranking has the game at 11, i think odds-maker are trying put premium on who they think public team will be to balance for both side, home & away record of both sides plus possible letdown for Providence but i agree the Friars are in-form.

    Syracuse beat seton hall by 11 . Providence is better then seton hall.
    Providence loses this game by 6-9 points. Good call l kid. I love my big east basketball it's the best in my opinion. Big east tourney at the garden is the best tournament.

    The Providence vs. zone defense stats can be thrown out because nobody plays zone the same as any other team, especially Syracuse. They probably consider teams running a full court trap late in the game a zone defense as well which will help skew those numbers thanks to easy layups and intentional fouls.

    I advise you to be by your computer at Halftime as well. There are a few teams I follow thru thick and thin, Providence is one of them (I live 20 min from the Dunk) I dont know the exact record against the spread for the 2H (cause I'm more so just a degenerate, and only recently started to attmept to be more seroius with my selections), but Providence ALMOST EVERY GAME plays harder in the 2nd half. I have enlightened a few people of them covering 2nd half spreads at a very high rate in the past 2 months. I wont guarantee they cover 2nd half, but I sure the hell will be betting on it tonight if they are down 5-10 going into the half. Do the research if you must tho, but take my word, they have to be as good of a 2nd half team as any in the country.
