    Does UCONN have value at +2.5??

    When seeing the lines last night i was initially on WV -1. When the line began to move my idea for the best play did so too. Uconn is 14-3 at home and are fresh off two huge wins. I also think they have alot more to play for being on the bubble. On top of this you are spotting them another 2.5 pts and I could see it going up to +3.5 before tipoff....A win tonight will put them in a great position to make the tourney. Any thoughts?

    "value" at moneyline not plus a meager 2.5....i think they should lose and not cover but can win and can cover. gonna exercise some discipline and stay away from this contest.

    I like the 3 factors you mention Uconn at home, off 2 strong wins, and fighting to get in. Think I am going to split my bet half on the moneyline +135 and half plus the points.

    UConn sucks this year, but I don't think they should be dogs at home. So yeah, I'd say it has some value.

    Yes, anytime you can grab points at home in the B.E. its value IMO, especially when a team is playing desperate basketball

    I just grabbed it at 3, sitting there at a couple of books, 3 definitely has value IMO.

    At +2.5, I believe it's a gift. I locked in @ +2 last night. Calhoun has got these boyz ready to play. With Walker on fire, it opens the floor with Dyson and Robinson. Uconn wins by 10!


    West Virginia is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Connecticut
    Connecticut is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games when playing at home against West Virginia
    Connecticut is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games when playing at home against West Virginia
    West Virginia is 2-8 SU in its last 10 games when playing Uconn

    Well boys...I can't argue with you taking uconn side at all but something is telling me WV covers this! I don't think you can use much past ats with these 2 as uconn is suspect at best this year and WV has it's moments of being brain dead but they are the better team. I'm really not a big fan of either team so that might cause me to stay away from this one?

    Uconns home court totally has an NBA feel to it, its not exactly cameron at Duke. UConn beat villanova but they could be in a slide. WV is the pick

    with a +130 moneyline you gotta win 43.4% to break even. If these two played 100 times would uconn win 44 or more times?

    i think WVU wins here but if you really like ucon the way WVU shoots free throws id take the ml as i feel if its close ucon will probably win, of coarse i think there a real good chance WVU runs there asses out of the gym....just saying if i was on ucon i wouldnt worry about the points as if its close you got the better coached and better free throw shooting team, ml just makes more sense if you like ucon that is

    That's the key right there. I also thought WV should win but I now think UConn ML is the play.

    I think its one of the 2 courts UConn splits their home games between, but I could be wrong, did it get moved?

    there is also the chance that this could create more pressure than a shaky team can handle

    It actually worries me about my play on them

    I don't see any need for points here if you like UConn. This game will be decided by at least 4 points. You either take UConn ML or WV -3. I'd lean UConn ML though.

    disagree with the side but totally agree that points are not a issue as i feel if its close with the way WVU shoots free throws and has been known to crumble in close ones if its close ucon will take it and ml is the best play, however im not sold it will be close and dont mind giving the 3 as like i said if its that close i dont like my chances anyway

    why take a chance on small moneyline? Just take the points

    losing on a moneyline that would have covered on the spread is a 200 dollar swing. not worth the extra 30 bucks you would win if they win SU
