I hate Wisconsin with a passion and they constantly burn me

Patrickz0rs · 03-12-10, 03:19 PM

I have Wisconsin SU. They better come out strong second half....

Sawsi · 03-12-10, 03:20 PM

I agree with the Wisconsin hate. They will go down today.

No coincidences · 03-12-10, 03:20 PM

It's -7. This team is the death of me, but hammer it.

dskibin2 · 03-12-10, 03:24 PM

good start for the illini but Wisconsin is missing tons of easy buckets, gonna come down to the wire

hornsrgrt · 03-12-10, 03:27 PM

got a four team ml parlay with Bucky Badger left but have Illinois plus 8.5 in another parlay...
Hoping Bucky shows up and wins by 4-6...not too sure about this though.

With that being said, though, how do you not take them in the 2nd half? Unless it's -10 or more, Wisconsin's shooting has been absolutely atrocious and the Illini are at 60 some percent. Yet it's only a 9-point game.

this is not a good sign 4 the badgers they r struggling shooting the ball n the difference is that they r not in the comforts of kohl arena...illini has a chance to pull this off i think..anythings possible on a neutral floor.

stealthyburrito · 03-12-10, 03:29 PM

i wouldnt worry about the badgers yet... they're only shooting 18% thus far, bound to pick up
and ill shooting 65%, no way that holds up the rest of the way against a bo ryan D

Masu485 · 03-12-10, 03:30 PM

dont know whether to take wisky 2nd half or pray and let my wisky -8 for game ride out...

Wilforth · 03-12-10, 03:31 PM

These are neutral site games. Anything is possible.

mdk02 · 03-12-10, 03:38 PM

i dont think ive ever seen a team shoot the ball worse.. absolutely pathetic

Including a Top-20 team shooting less than 20 percent?

not a bad strategy u got going there....but risky to put in a team like wisc. in there

stealthyburrito · 03-12-10, 04:02 PM

ok now you can panic

FHCI30 · 03-12-10, 04:09 PM

Guys pay attention to trends. Look at the tourny from the start and what have you noticed? All the top ranked schools either lost straight up or did not cover their spreads. The teams that cover big spreads are the teams that are top in their confrence that arnt ranked and are fighting for a better position in march madness so just take the underdogs and you'll be fine. With that said take Texas A&M -9.5 and most likly this trend with likly continue. Make some money tonight! and Go Illinois i have them -8.5

DolphinSpurs · 03-12-10, 04:11 PM

Less than three hours ago you all saw Ohio State barely beat Michigan with a desperation 3 pointer miracle. Why would you turn around and pick Wisconsin (worse than Ohio State) to pound Illinois (better than Michigan). This should have been a no play if you weren't on Illinois.

Thank you, Mr. Hindsight.

First of all, I only bet on the 2nd half, given the shooting %'s of both teams. If you'd have told me that Wisconsin would be 13 for 57 in the game and Hughes 0 for 11, I would've said you were crazy.

Second, did you see the Badgers rip this team apart in Champaign not very long ago? Again, I wasn't on them for the game, but figuring they'd cover a -7 2nd half spread wasn't too much to ask for at the time.

DolphinSpurs · 03-12-10, 04:17 PM

It's just comparing the relative strengths of the teams coupled with the momentum this championship week has taken. I'm not trying to say, oh, ButtFack U beat Georgetown, and Georgetown beat Syracuse so that means Gtown should be No1, but you've got to find every reason not to take a big favorite this time of year.

Hindsight? Check 2dabanks thread. I was on Illinois before tip off. And a 2nd half bet on Wisky is a respectable call. I was just talking about the +8 for the game.

C-Low420 · 03-12-10, 04:22 PM

wisconsin sucksss..everytime i go with them they look like their in the WNBA and when i go against them, they shoot lights out

whatsgood5 · 03-12-10, 04:24 PM

Clawing their way back in to this one now, this would be a sick comeback.

landers781 · 03-12-10, 04:26 PM

WOWWWWW how many threes willthey give up to this guy

landers781 · 03-12-10, 04:26 PM

if this is ends as a two point game this will be the best thing ever

landers781 · 03-12-10, 04:27 PM

I got illini for game +8, Illini ml and wiscky second half

HedBustah1 · 03-12-10, 04:27 PM

this would be a wild 2H cover lol

FHCI30 · 03-12-10, 04:27 PM

Man i wasn't questioning you i was just saying in general no attacks or anything. and yes sorry i ment plus the points against KU

FHCI30 · 03-12-10, 04:28 PM

FHCI30 · 03-12-10, 04:30 PM

YES

whatsgood5 · 03-12-10, 04:31 PM

Helluva game by the Illini here, almost blew it though...
