early leans are on kst and the over 160, going to wait on kst play though because the public loves #1 teams, hoping it goes to about +3 aroudn tip off

Kansas St

WhatAboutMeBitch · 01-17-10, 11:15 PM

texas as a tendency to poop their pants at times. I just don't know when, so I have no call on this game

EaglesPhan36 · 01-17-10, 11:19 PM

The line won't change more than a point in my estimation. Dorks will suck the teet of a #1 team not giving any points. Supposed "smart guys" will pound K-State thinking UT is due for a loss after their escape acts in the last two. Total is the only way to play but that number isn't going to give you much. Hard to go with the under with the way both can score, but it wouldn't be shocking to see two teams on national tv play under either. So all in all, no edges. Guesstimate, Texas & Over.

I believe Texas will lose this game

flyingillini · 01-17-10, 11:43 PM

Texas for me

tblues2005 · 01-18-10, 12:19 AM

I like K. State in this spot!

Dank_Fire · 01-18-10, 01:36 AM

Tough spot for Texas here as they face uconn next

Cougar Bait · 01-18-10, 06:36 AM

Initial lean was Kansas State. Right now I see 74 % of the money on Texas, and the line has moved from a PICK to -1 or -1.5 at most books. Nothing major, but would keep an eye on that as game time nears.

basically keep taking the favorite at small line until they lose

that is capping 101

Brock Landers · 01-18-10, 10:50 AM

Kansas St flying under the radar big time, i think Texas gets ambushed here and will have an official play on K-St in my thread later today.

Mr. Peepers · 01-18-10, 11:02 AM

TX +2....Best team in the country and getting points. Can't get much better than that!!!

Joe Public, move the line down for me please

SRBI · 01-18-10, 11:06 AM

I wanna see Kansas St. PK then I'll hammer it

cadillac pete · 01-18-10, 11:06 AM

K-State has certainly been a surprise team this year. One thing to consider is that they are probably playing their most talented opponent to date in the Horns.

tcarn01 · 01-18-10, 11:06 AM

texas plays really poorly in the 1st half. I would take k state 1H and texas in the 2nd...... Thats how it has been all year for them....

Good point, that kind of thinking played out yesterday in the Wake/Dukey game, Duke came out kinda weak in the 1H but then absolutely dominated the 2H. History tends to repeat itself yeah?

SRBI · 01-18-10, 11:09 AM

^ Wow, that absolutely solidifies my pick now. Thanks for the info Deuce!

sportsfan2009 · 01-18-10, 11:18 AM

texas underdog

JoshW · 01-18-10, 11:19 AM

I have no opinion, but I am hoping for a great game. I am not much of a college hoops fan, but this one hits all my Big 12/KU cords.

tcarn01 · 01-18-10, 11:20 AM

what are you thinking srbi? K state? love them in the 1H. texas usually fights back in the 2nd. look at them early in the season and alos the iowa game a couple of days ago. Iowa was up big in 1st and then Tx came back and even covererd the 11 point 2H spread . -- - - -- by the way. decided to take Mali and angola today.. lol. . my book didn't have any other games but those two..

How are you not a college hoops fan when you have a KU Jayhawk as you avatar??

sportsfan2009 · 01-18-10, 11:26 AM

if texas even showed up in the last game they would have won by 20 ... they show up tonight and win by 10 or more

BigNutFlush · 01-18-10, 11:36 AM

K- State will come out victorious tonite, I think a loss will be good for the horns, they do not want the pressure of going undefeated the whole season. It will be good for their psyche. If it weren't for the freshman Avery Bradley having the best game of his UT career so far Iowa State could have possibly won the horns last road game. Should be great game though.

Brock Landers · 01-18-10, 11:37 AM

you guys are deluded about Texas, they have played no one of significance on the road and this is a perfect spot for them to get hammered.

sportsfan2009 · 01-18-10, 11:48 AM

brock stay with the big 10 cuz texas is not losing this game

TPowell · 01-18-10, 01:47 PM

not sold on K State. They may come out strokin it with Clemente and Pullen but if not TEXAS BIG!

Ralphie1412 · 01-18-10, 01:58 PM

Who wants kansas st.? Ill take Texas PK for 100 points with anyone.

sportsfan2009 · 01-18-10, 02:02 PM

Texas wins by 5 or more
