Has Anyone Equated the Fact that Baylor is Playing a Virtual Home Game??
The game is in Houston, TX
Which is only a couple hours from Waco, TX
This is a big deal.

I didnt know it was possible to NOT know that.
but more seriously, yes it is a big deal, but I still think Duke takes this one. Singler/Scheyer/Smith are better thant Tweedy and Lacedarius. Drew will be outcoached too.

That will be a huge help for the Bears, but it is still Duke...

It feels so good to be this fired up for a duke game again. This team deserves it.
I have seen Baylor shit the bed before big time. And usually when Tweedy and Lacedarius shoot the way they did last game they come out and TRY WAY TOO HARD.
I think Dukes solid defense and offensive rebounding is the difference today.

Do you think the books set the line higher at Baylor +4.5 now +5 knowing they were going get heavy action on the dog? Think about it. If the line opened at a 3 or 3.5 I bet you would see more equal action. Just some food for thought because the line at 5 just seems like too much & too easy.

what SHOULD the line be? Its a 1 vs 3 seed. I never thought it would be -2.5q

all the touts are on Baylor and they are getting the biggest % of the public money. I was leaning Baylor but I might be running to the other side

Is Duke winless on the road this season? It doesnt matter if baylor plays in their coach's back yard.

Baylor isn't a very big school. It is a small private baptist school. If this was Texas or Texas A&M it would be a much bigger advantage. Im sure the folk in Houston will lean towards Baylor but this place is not gonna be full of Baylor fans........
