UAB +7 is maybe the best pick for tommorow

No coincidences · 02-03-10, 01:37 AM

UAB's all over the map. I don't trust them. I don't trust Davis.

With that being said, they could very easily win this game outright. I'm not impressed with Memphis at all -- they're still being overvalued because of their name.

dknight734 · 02-03-10, 01:43 AM

i think mem is getting way too many points, for being such an ify team. i like will/mary at +11.5

uva3021 · 02-03-10, 05:06 AM

shady line, lean Memphis

jagaf22 · 02-03-10, 05:11 AM

Tough game to call I'll take UAB and the points.

I agree with your opinion..to inconsistent for me.. BOL none the less

Classic overvalue of memphis at home. UAB is a solid team. Inconsistent??? They have won 17 of their last 19 losing only to UTEP (very well-coached team with talent who beat memphis) and @ Virginia. I'm taking UAB +7. GL to all.

Good Luck Glitch!

Glitch · 02-03-10, 08:22 AM

thanks for the input so far guys....yeah they've looked pretty solid to me so far- lost to some very formidable opponents.

im definitely hopping on this moneyline aswell in an hour or 2 when it comes out. memphis is not the same team they were last year but they're still semi-ok i suppose

i imagine we'll be getting less favorable lines on the uab side of things as the day progresses.

dmtrader · 02-03-10, 08:44 AM

I think UAB + the points is the play

The SMU win was a near disaster. How they got down by 17 or whatever to that team I'll never understand.

im all over uab + the points

True.... Hopefully they have matured since then. I think they took SMU for granted just like Memphis did. They will be up for this game as it has 1st place consequences

I`m on UAB +7.5 , good luck players

gonnakillit · 02-03-10, 02:38 PM

UAB could easily cover the 8 points......and Memphis could easily cover the 8 points.

NO PLAY

THE PROFIT · 02-03-10, 02:40 PM

I've been looking through the service plays & haven't seen anyone on Memphis but a few good services on UAB+7. I feel if they were at home They shouldn't be a dog so 7 points is too much for home court for Memphis. They are 18-3 Memphis is 15-6. Both lost their last game so both needing a win badly. Looks like a tossup to me so I'll take the points

2daBank · 02-03-10, 02:44 PM

the talent in Conf USA is much closer to mem than in the past...think mem gettin a little to much respect here but Uab as has already been said looks shaky to me at times...also agree with whoever brought up UTEP that is a team to watch that transfer from lou (cant think of name at the moment) is ballin they got a team think i like them tonight better than the uab/mem game although i do see it being a good bet.....gl tonight glitch

cappinthepigs · 02-03-10, 02:56 PM

Memphis usually covers quite large at home.. At least 85% of the time.

bachngocduong · 02-03-10, 03:13 PM

im on UAB + 7.5

-memphis could cover the points but i doubt easily...the more i look into it and think about watchin memphis' best players penetrate to the basket- the less i like this pick. however- they are much worse than last year.

they have been disapointing. i also think the line is a little shady- they have to have been seeing how uab was ballin- they should be maybe 3 point underdogs not 7. im gonna be on this game a lot lighter than id previously anticipated.
if i make a big bet tonight, it will probably be on george mason -1

Check the thread regarding the George Mason line to see where I stand on that....but the gist is that George Mason has lost on the road to radford by 17, George Washington by 17 and tulane by 5......They shouldnt be trusted on the road. Especially with such a sketchy line and everyone on George Mason but the line has stayed steady and in some places dropped to PK

Memphis only covered 3 of 8 home games and is 4-10 as a fav. It's UAB or nothing for me!

2daBank · 02-03-10, 03:38 PM

i agree uab or nothing im just leaning more towards passing on this game

thanks for this post. interesting stuff....georgia state is just so bad that it makes their opponents look really good as 1 point favorites. mason is 7-0 their last 7, with 3 of those on the road.

i took gmu onetime towards the beginning of this season and they lost- it seems like they're turning things around lately. ga state hit a 3 with 30 seconds left in their last game a couple weeks ago @gmu in virginia to tie this game at 49-49. mason won 52-49.

tulane is really bad but radford puts up a lot of points. i think i liked that uab pick so much i tried really hard to talk myself off of it. i would be more surprised if UAB loses by 8 than i would be if georgia state wins.

(George Mason 15-7 (10-1 in the CAA) (Georgia State 9-14 (3-8 in the CAA)

I meant to say covers -7.5 it was in my head, just not on the paper. That is them winning by more than 7.5 @ home 84.7% of the time this year. The only 2 they didn't were outright losses.

Their last 5 home games they have Lost to TENN, & UTEP, other than that they have won by 15, 20, & 41 (though that was to HOUBA). In their 8 home games Previous to that is was ALL WINS by 20, 30, 25, 19,31, 32, 33, & 29. Just because they aren't covering the # in most cases this year at home doesn't mean they aren't capable of covering a measly 7.5.

I'm not playing it either side or the other, just saying.

Glitch · 02-03-10, 04:23 PM

definitely gotta consider its conference USA-level competition they play,- so like with the ivy league, you gotta read less into some stats for sure

I can't argue that... But what conference is UAB in again?? Yep..

capskip · 02-03-10, 05:13 PM

UAB+8 GOOD PLAY.BOL TONIGHT

the same. both of these teams are steamrolling conference USA squads on a regular basis, but i think we just gotta work hard to not that those easy wins get to our heads.

thanks for all the input guys- good stuff.

tltaylor89 · 02-03-10, 05:24 PM

UAB tends to have late game lapses where the opposing team comes back to either tie or take it to OT.This is a no play for me

Glitch · 02-03-10, 08:50 PM

uabs lookin pretty good so far....mason was up 2 with a minute left then Ga st. takes a 1 point lead with a 3. 35 seconds left, gmu ball- timeout.

Glitch · 02-03-10, 08:53 PM

missed layup- foul with 20 seconds left. makes both. mason down 3 with 20 seconds left. missed 2pointer, missed 3pointer. state ball. 1 second left- foul. basically game over.

uab up 32-31 at the half.

Glitch · 02-03-10, 10:05 PM

both plays collapse in the last minute of their games

iMxth3xbossx5000 · 02-03-10, 10:08 PM

they lost?
