    Why Is KU +4.5 Tomorrow At WVU?

    I meant to say +4.5, my mistake.

    Seems like a weird line, I was expecting something close to a PK.

    This is might be one of the best KU teams in years, and on the other side, one of the weaker WVU teams.

    Yeah my mistake. Not sure why I put 9 in there. I was expecting WVU to be no more than -2. Seems really high. KU seems like the perfect team to break that press, but if I remember correct, they have struggled in Morgantown last couple years.

    I'll be all over KU. Graham and Mason will beat the press. WVU absolutely needs the press to work great to be successful, and against most teams at home it is. KU is too good in the backcourt.

    Only thing I don't like is that WVU has back against the wall after two straight losses, but agreed, KU seems like a no brainer.

    Mods please feel free to change title name to +4.5.

    I'm not getting it either. Kentucky has now dropped from -10 to -9.5 over Tennessee. Are they expecting KU and Kentucky to be looking ahead to their matchup this weekend? KU can't afford a slip up now with next games vs Kentucky and Baylor.

    I see fox listed as questionable, so that could explain the kentucky number. Other than that I don't get it.

    If this was an NBA line id scream trap and run away, but ive been doing well just hammering these line that seem off and often they move several points before tipoff.

    IMO kentucky would be more likely to look ahead to saturday, where as for Kansas the more important game is tomorrow they are trying to win the conference.

    Have to watch the injury report on Fox for Kentucky and see what happens with the Kansas line.

    Locked in Kansas +4.5. I think it's going to get bet heavily and be at 3 or 2.5 by game time.

    Kansas struggles every year in Morgantown. WVU crowd will bring the noise and pressure, and bet your ass WVU will get the calls.

    With that being said, kansas has the best backcourt in the country and multiple ball handlers can break the press. Mason and Graham have been there before and have the experience. Kansas has beaten teams even when getting outrebounded. Also helps that Kansas just beat Texas who plays a watered-down but similar verion of full court pressure D.

    4.5 seems too high.

    this is all it's about.
    and the fact that Kansas doesn't have any real impressive
    road wins. This would be their most so far.
    West Virginia losses are 2 in OT and one by 2 pts.

    I get the feeling WVU wins but by a small margin. If lines comes down a bit more, might be tempted to lay the ml on WVU.
