Without Hesitation I Pulled the Trigger on.... Purdue -4 (BIG)

whatsgood5 · 03-18-10, 10:17 PM

I'm goin' the other way here, Siena ML, BOL though.

No coincidences · 03-18-10, 10:17 PM

Agree 150%.

I'm so tired of this Siena talk. They haven't beaten anyone.

Purdue will be, too.

skidaddy28 · 03-18-10, 10:20 PM

Just like UTEP a big public favorite Siena stands no chance better team will shine Purdue all the way

Patrickz0rs · 03-18-10, 10:23 PM

Only suckers will take Siena and Cornell for that matter.

THE PROFIT · 03-18-10, 10:25 PM

I was sick of the SDSU talk, sick of Siena talk. I'm lookin' for a BIG day Friday, way bigger than today!

On both, I'll admit to being a sucker.

gshock1 · 03-18-10, 10:27 PM

Agreed 100%

I'm going to check the line movement in the morning but do see myself making this a huge play too.

tealish · 03-18-10, 10:31 PM

Tailing you on this one. I'm not expert on college ball, but I like your reasoning. BOL!

suckerforparlays · 03-18-10, 10:33 PM

getting ready to load up on Purdue nailed the Butler game tonight

princesspolamalu · 03-18-10, 11:19 PM

Without hesitation I am tailing you......I got killed today and this looks like a spot to make some of it up. GL to us!!!!

Don't drink the koolaid from the sharps on this one. I watched the same Butler game you watched, and indeed Siena stunk up the gym in the second half. That being said, they played a good first half there. They played as bad as they could possibly play in the second, and Butler was on fire.

Purdue was in contention for a #1 seed, but they are a completely different team now. You can't compare what they were then to what they are now- which is a mediocre team that wouldn't even be tourney worthy based solely on performance without their best player. They just aren't good now.

Butler is the real deal, way better than Purdue is now. Georgia Tech has a couple NBA level talents and if they don't turn the ball over can beat absolutely anyone. Northern Iowa is also better than Purdue is right now.

Don't get too excited about this game, it should be a pickem or Siena -1.

Laid 4 Units on a team that was once upon a time was gunning for a #1 seed.

I love the fact they got booted, and embarrassed in the Big Ten tourny. They have had time to deal with the fact that Hummel is gone, and others will have to step up.

Siena is not for real.

ESPN has a consensus on them.

They have been blown out by Butler, Northern Iowa, and Georgia Tech.

I laid 4 Units. Biggest bet of tourny so far for me.

other plays Temple/Oakland/Wofford

dskibin2 · 03-18-10, 11:50 PM

i like purdue a lot, still a good team with a few very good players who can carry them to at least the 2nd round

newjerseydevils · 03-18-10, 11:54 PM

good luck have purdue as well

FLO31 · 03-18-10, 11:55 PM

I'm leaning purdue as well.. I think Purdue comes out to prove a point tomorrow..

Jericholic · 03-18-10, 11:58 PM

Even without Hummell, Purdue is good enough to beat Siena.

beefcake · 03-19-10, 12:21 AM

agreed

fury · 03-19-10, 01:18 AM

Purdue will be my biggest play tomorrow as well.

suckerforparlays · 03-19-10, 01:22 AM

lock and load go boom boom shot them saints! does that make sense?

ezmoney · 03-19-10, 08:07 AM

PURDUE -4 my top early play, Root has them as a billionaire play too!

EZ

maseda17 · 03-19-10, 08:13 AM

I got laughed at in my office for taking Purdue in my bracket, but literally EVERYONE is on Sienna to win this game. Purdue I know looked god awful in the Big 10 tourney, but I think they are extremely motivated coming into this game.

blackbeSSt · 03-19-10, 08:20 AM

hmmm, which kool-aid to drink? the public or sbr?

krazey47409 · 03-19-10, 08:26 AM

i had baylor and nex mexico on a ml parlay yester day need purdue and temple to win today to complete it

jaymac82980 · 03-19-10, 08:28 AM

i think the line is a little off, but I still have trouble convincing myself to bet against purdue - they are just the better team overall.

Holtgetsback · 03-19-10, 08:29 AM

If either Moore or Johnson have a rough game this could get ugly quick. All Siena has to do is double team Johnson. Purdue needs someone to step up. I don't see it happening. PASS

Wilforth · 03-19-10, 08:40 AM

BOL

If this was a 7-game series, Purdue would be the pick. But in this lone game, any team could win.

Irish Lumberjack · 03-19-10, 08:44 AM

gl I'd pick Purdue in this spot

HoulihansTX · 03-19-10, 01:44 PM

Lets get it Purdue.

Wolf40 · 03-19-10, 01:49 PM

lets rock biolermakers! get at em baby!!

HoulihansTX · 03-19-10, 03:43 PM

That was closer than I had hoped for. Looks like a coin flip finality, instead of the never in doubt game I was predicting. Great win for Purdue Backers, but tough loss for Siena backers.

On to the next game.

NBAStats · 03-19-10, 09:24 PM

Congrats Houli, great call bud. I was on Siena, and was completely wrong. Purdue was the superior team, a couple of Siena over their head runs kept them within striking distance. Good call and congrats on your cash.

iceminers26 · 03-19-10, 09:26 PM

Nice call Houly

tealish · 03-19-10, 09:40 PM

Great call

Jericholic · 03-19-10, 10:17 PM

Nice win!!
