kdm, you sure did pick a tough game IMO

i have no opinion in this game at all what so ever. mcnamara hasn't been himself as of late. so, thats what would have me a little scared taking the cuse tonight.

Fox, do you have an opinion on this total?

[kdmfox]

I suck at totals ... Averaging both teams out offense and defense comes to 142.7, which points to the under ... The total has hit the under 8 of the last 10 times these two teams have met.

I usually just bet the 2nd half o/u when I do bet them and only when the 1st half actual is out of whack with what the 2nd half line is.

I played the 2nd half under (77) in yesterdays Mich St./Ohio St. game ... The 1st half they scored 54 so 77 looked like it may be a winnable under ... 2nd half was 38 but had to survive 2 overtimes (29) for the win.

Now that you lit a small blaze under me and did a little research on the o/u, I'm going to take the game under along with Syracuse +2 and also a tease ... Syracuse +6 and the under of 151.

That's sort of what I was thinking as well. My projected number was barely over 140, and I think Boeheim will try to keep this game low-scoring. Anyways, I hope you hit with Syracuse.

Wow fox, looks like UCONN is playing inspired and Sorrycuse forgot to show up. Down 20 at half, but stranger things have happened.
