MTSU -6
Michigan +7
Minnesota -3

Thoughts?

[Bet10Heinekens]

Be careful with Minny, their front court is terrible, won't surprise me the Seminoles dominate the inside and get a road win

[ksnooksk]

I like Illinois. I DESPISE playing short, road favorites...but, I like them in this match-up.

[ksnooksk]

Adding E. Michigan. I think UMASS squeaks out a victory.

[2daBank]

if stauskas plays i like michigan. without him prob a pass.. illini looks ok.. no idea what ppl see in emu but i been wrong before.. sure i dont like that umass has had little too much time off and prob feeling themselves a little but at some point i think they will go on a run emu wont be able to keep pace with..

[plekz]

yeah my thoughts are the same for mich, if stauskas is in then yes they cover, if not they lose by 10+ and with the form umass showed in the tourney i'll back them, they've already beaten better teams then e.mich Cady LaLane + Chaz Williams will be the difference makers to cover the spread.

Think illi loses to Georgia Tech. I also Think FLA ST covers the + against MSU who are way to small this year to compete with a very scrappy Seminoles.

Stauskas rolled his ankle on the 23rd (nine or so Days ago) he should be back now barring it being a severe sprain

I also Think AZU put's a assbeating on Texas Tech and wins by 20+

i still dont trust fsu at all,, maybe it cause their coach a idiot .. prob a pass for me in that gm cause both teams are right on top of my "i have no clue what they gonna give list"..

[plekz]

Also Think cuse -6 is a steal, indy wont be able to deal with DA ZONE BABY!

dont like to back teams off the hawaii tourney. easy not to have ur head right after a trip to the islands..

[plekz]

Think their coach is a little to good overall to not have them back on planet earth by now, they seem like a somewhat grounded team aswell. I backed them all the way throughout that tourney and didn't have any doubt they'd win it.

And -6 isn't much to cover at all. Don't know what to make of UCLA only needing to cover -11 against UCSB though, that one feels like a trap because on paper they should whoop them quite easily.

[2daBank]

i personally dislike their coach and that zone but not sure hoosiers have the shooters to exploit it,, they havnt shot well as of yet anyway.. so i wont be against you..

[plekz]

Why don't you like Boheim? Because he's great at strategy and getting the best out of his players? 37 years going and never a losing season he clearly knows how to win.

really? how many times he won again? oh yea that one year he had melo..dude takes top seeds and gets bounced early almost every year,,seems like more of a underachiever than over to me..

Btw regarding Mich v Duke going through Stauskas twitter + insta and him making tweets about 'When you miss the bus by 5 seconds and the bus driver doesn't stop even though he sees you're chasing the bus' makes me think he'll be on the roster tonight

[RavensFan2k3]

I dont see how Michigan keeps up with this Duke team. Also Iowa vs ND? I like Iowa to win

Same way Vermont did?

[RavensFan2k3]

LOL I guess...

Anyone like Iowa today vs ND?

[jessetk313]

There's a different mentality when preparing for Vermont as opposed to a team like Michigan. If this game were in Michigan I might lean Michigan but being in Cameron indoor that place is gonna be jumping tonight. Duke wins this one.

[plekz]

They might win, but that doesnt mean they cover a -7 spread AZ didn't look their best against Duke but still handled them fine, DUKE also managed to lose @ home to Kansas a team that while great on the glass and in driving to the hoops have SHIT to offer in terms of shooters.
We aint discussing if they 'win' or not it's who covers the spread no ones betting DUKE @ 1.33x the money unless they are full blown retards not the way DUKE has been playing so far.

Duke didn't lose to Kansas in Cameron Indoor. Just take Duke Moneyline and you're golden.

No you ain't you aint 'golden' betting top 25's against eachother this early in the season when you are given shit odds not when in this case both teams have looked shaky at times already. Stauskas in for Mich they very easily could cover a +7 spread if he's out they'll lose by 10+ everything points to him being in.

And doing ML parlays this early in the season when top 25's are going against eachother? you should have your head checked.

[jessetk313]

And duke was in Arizona so what's your point plekz? Did you not get the original point for my post? This game is at home in Cameron Indoor!

[jessetk313]

Just as Kansas and Arizona protected their home floors I fully expect duke to do the same. A 10 pt victory isn't as far reached as your are making it out to be.

[plekz]

They've already shown that they aren't to be trusted this early on in the season when they barely escaped with their lives against Vermont.

[jessetk313]

Those games happen every once in a while. I just feel like duke will be better prepared tonight that's all. BOL to you in whatever you play.

[wufpakman21]

Duke loses in Cameron once in a million years. They will be amped up tonight. Unlike against Vermont. They may very well lose but it's not likely.
