Anyone not on Syracuse?

[Unicorn7]

Butler is the play-The Unicorn has spoketh

[grzftbl]

when Syracuse is on, and shooting well.... they can beat anyone.

You sound like you work at ESPN? Or CBS?



Or course, I'm kidding...

[Ralphie1412]

I am not on Syracuse. Then again, I passed altogether. Gun to my head though, I lean slightly toward Butler ATS. I think Syracuse wins by 3 or 4, and this is coming from someone that has Cuse in Final 4. Butler is not a pushover.

This coming from a guy who had butler losing in the first round.

This comming from a guy who is so broke he can only bet points.

Does anyone in Butler's conference even play a zone?

Loyola Chicago

Out of conference

Northwestern Road Game 67-54 W

Minnesota Neutral 82-73 L

Ball St. Road 59-38 W



None can be compared to the Cuse, but that is the list.

[AMBlai01]

if they do amby, I doubt they play syracuse's 1-3-1 like they do, with their quick long defenders

Its a 2-3 zone but a bit different than one that anyone else plays so at times it does look like a 1-3-1.

[HoulihansTX]

I noticed that Bohiem's 2-3 zone is different to others, b/c of the wingspan he is able to recruit when getting players, the fact he has them trap the ball on the baseline, and the whole time they are zoning everyone's hands are up in the passing lanes.

Its sweet, but either you have to be dominant in the post, or shoot lights out from deep to neutralize the zones effectiveness.

What I could see happening is Cuse not shooting lights out, and allowing Butler to get transition buckets, B4 the zone is able to be set. Probably the only way they keep it close.

[HoldEmHook!!]

becareful....tonight could be the cuse statement game......too many uncertainties..........should just pass

[refrain87]

Line movement says Butler.

[goblue12]

Just took Butler at +6.5

[rolltide10]

Did Ohio St win a game with Evan Turner out?

Does Evan Turner being out effect free throw shooting?

[rolltide10]

Butler +6

[Fishhead]

Lots of NY money will come in late.

[StraitShooter]

I have a feeling that syracuse is gonna lose tonight..ML is a dead giveaway..I think they are about to get Dayton`ed by Butler

[Snowball]

LM is a head fake intended to make Butler appear less of an underdog and more of a threat to Syracuse than they really are. Butler was good to me this year, against the chitball teams they play, but Syracuse is far superior. ML is where virtually all my bankroll is.. yes, I'm that confident. -6 and -5.5 I am also on double-unit. Butler is perceived as the "sharp" play.. because of the LM. What does that matter to the kids on the court ? Syracuse has a 5 gears and Butler has 3. Athletically this is an absolute mismatch.
I see Syracuse bossing this game.
gl all.. last post on this subject. don't want to beat a dead horse.

[ezmoney]

SYR will pour it on in the second half just like the GONZAGA game, Butler crashes. Unicorns won't help.
ORANGE -6!

EZ

[oiler]

Seeing -5.5 out there. I have Syracuse going to the Final Four. Not sure if Butler can hang.

Anyone actually taking Butler?

maybe playing the money line is the best bet

[BigNutFlush]

Syracuse could be playing easily playing Murray St. this week, Butler had to come from behind against the racers. The bulldogs outrageously crazy winning streak is against a bunch of patsys of teams. No way the Orange lose tonite, Butler could possibly come inside +6 or +7 in a back door but the Cuse roll on to the Final Four At least.

[chase hardy]

i'll take butler

[thebestthereis]

if you are on syracuse and they cover this is the luckiest win of your life - it could happen. if you can't see what is happening here you don't understand how lines work and how you are the sucker this is it. syracuse is the biggest sucker bet of the sweet 16. they might win the game but they will not cover this game. good luck.

[The Seer]

Butler +7

I would like your expert opinion on the line movement in this game. Thank you.

well, since it dropped from -7 to -5.5, there are obviously some HUGE hitters on butler. me? i am teasing it and taking cuse minus the small number

[pavyracer]

Does Evan Turner being out effect free throw shooting?

Yes because if you are playing from behind the whole game it puts too much pressure on making the FT's to stay close. This is why it is important to look at the FT% in close games and losses instead of blow out wins when there is no pressure to make FT's.

[hanco21]

Syracuse wins by 15.....(80-65)

[Glitch]

plenty of people on butler.

[BatemanPatrickl]

Good luck to all

[pitman]

Butler hasnt sold me one bit. CUSE by 6 easy

[Snowball]

Butler is a suckas play.

[WillC]

Syracuse should roll ... bol

[chiliv5]

I am not playing this game.... However, reading some of the peoples comments who are on SYR stating they have too much talent for Butler ask Kansas about all their talent and Northern Iowa. I mean come on..... Butler has now been a fixture in this tourney since they almost sent home Mike Miller and the Fl Gators many years ago. Anything can happen tonight.....

[aca]

cuse

[longbeachson]

Syracuse ML for me. Not confident in covering 6 points but don't see them losing this one

[marley33]

You're High.....Cuse by 17

[frostno98]

Yeah Butlers probably overrated. Both wins against mediocre Mid Major teams. They haven't beaten any real team yet.
