Why shouldn't I load up on Duke -3?

[AnotherLoan]

WV could have pulled off one of the flukiest wins in history when they beat Kentucky. WV only making 3 pointers in the first half and Kentucky missing about 25 3 pointers in the game. Neither of those things will happen for sometime. Meanwhile, Duke beats Baylor even though Singler doesn't score a field goal for the first time in his college career. I like Duke here to cover but I'd like to hear some other thoughts before playing it.

A fluke you could say the same about Duke beating Baylor. After that CHARGE call which turned the game around. I've watched it over and over and clearly it was a block but that game is over. West Virginia has played great this year and played in a better conference. Duke is 0-1 against the big east this year getting blown out by Georgetown. Duke lives and dies by getting to the free throw line. Which will most likely be the factor in this game. While West Virginia doesn't shoot free throws as well. Duke doesn't have any kids on there team that will play at the next level. Butler for West Virginia obviously will probably be a first round draft pick. But give it a rest all these Duke fans coming out of the closet how unbeatable Duke is.

kyle singler and nolan smith will both play at the next level and it definatly was not a fluke that Duke one. Maybe you could say it was a fluke that singler was missing all his shots and baylor stayed in the game under 5 mins to play. How does Duke live and die by getting to the free throw line? I would say they live and die by hitting threes which will be the impact of beating west virginias zone.

This could be the dumbest post I've ever read.

Didn't lose 1 penny on them. They didn't make a 2 pointer the entire first half and Kentucky missed 25 3 pointers. Yeah, it was a fluke.

[G's pks]

UK played horrible that is why they lost...next time open your eyes when the game is on..and I did lose money on UK...

please they play again wvu would win again no fluke

[AnotherLoan]

Weren't they like an 8 point dog? You think oddsmakers were that far off? Kentucky is the better team but played one of their worst games of the season.

8? no 3.5......and better team? not a chance....more talented maybe but better team not a chance....your not gonna find 1 person that really knows college hoops that thought uk was going to the final four mostly baste off the fact they were not a great "team" just a bunch of really good very young players with a shit coach

[2daBank]

i do think duke is probably the play even though i got wvu going to the championship game in almost every bracket but i would be playing duke over uk and it would have been a easier bet for me to make

[AMBlai01]

[BettingWizard]

how was wvu a fluke and not duke? wvu never trailed in the 2nd half ffs.

Big east owns duke in the tournament

good point if they call that charge on Baylor what it really was a block then duke is down 5 and who knows what happens

[G's pks]

Wv was better than UK...no doubt.

[Cubs4591]

west virginia is a good team and it is not a fluke!

I get a good laugh outta reading this guys posts. There usually pretty funny to read because I wonder if he ever knows whats going on. He basically just said West Virginia is gonna lose because they cant make freethrows as well as Duke so he is gonna take West Virginia to win the game

[dice]

It also would have been Zoubek's 5th foul.

[tj5485]

West Virginia to the Bank

[Yi]

West Virginia will need to find a way to deal with Duke's size but I have a feeling West Virginia is peaking at the right time at the offensive end and they have always being solid on the defensive end.

[starfire]

duke is the right side
remember it will be duke/refs vs wvu

[LT Profits]

I think the question should be "Why shouldn't I load up on West Virginia on the ML with the number now at +140 and rising?"

[HoulihansTX]

Why not just wait until game day, and see where the number ends up?

Bad advice if you like Duke, but it is what I am doing (waiting) unless I see a turnaround.

[gshock1]

I'm a little confused as which site offers the best source on the % of bets by the public.

As of today, the breakdown is as follows:

Thespread.com: 59% WVU; 41% Duke
SBROdds.com: 61% Duke; 39% WVU
Covers.com: 51% Duke; 49% WVU

Nothing posted or can't find anything on Vegasinsider.

Which of these is the best source? Does anyone recommend anything else?

[CaptainPrice]

right back at duke
baylor just handed over the game in the last 3 minutes

[suckerforparlays]

yea I took Duke so I took them early while I could. Not sure if the line opened at -2 or -2.5 but I got in at -2.5. And it went up to -3 today

[ouman101]

Something that I haven't seen mentioned is the fact that W.V. is a really good offensive rebounding team, and rebounding team in general. Baylor lost the game because they didn't box out late in the game. Don't expect Duke to get 2 and 3 tries every trip like they did against Baylor.

[Ralphie1412]

Im not touching this game. Its gonna be very tough for duke. BUT I have seen WVU come out flat time and time again, all season. Duke has always been known as a good first half team. If Duke can come out early and smack em in the mouth they might be ok. If they can grab a lead they wont turn it over and they will hit their free throws as always.

[INVEGA MAN]

I will take Duke or wont bet the game. Coach K will get the calls and we all know that. The only way WVU wins this game is to blow Duke out. If this game is close down the stretch, Duke will get the calls. We see it time after time. Watch yourself here. Nobody works the officials like coach K.

[LT Profits]

Duke deserves credit for transforming themselves this season from a pure 3-point shooting team to a team built on defense and rebounding. The problem here though is that West Virginia is better in both of those areas.

[statnerds]

to the OP's question, cause lines are about as tight as one of them 72 virgins' va jay jay

or was that white grapes?

[bluegg]

this is gonna get this whole touney, they deserve it.

[jlgarciaiii22]

This game is too tough to call... probably just watch!
