Memphis seems like a square bet

[Joepbj]

Everyone pounding memphis but line is steady now at -7. how do you lay 7 with almost half your team made up of freshman while playing an ACC team with a chip on their shoulder? Miami started off last year incredible but died down the stretch. I think they started 15-1. Miami is bigger and Memphis is skewed by their 60 point blowout against a middle school team. I'm taking Miami +7. Now let's hear your opposing arguments.

They always have Freshman every year... After one year they jet to the NBA because they can't keep a 1.0

I like Miami in the 1H and for the game, but who knows. GL

[bigkrezca32]

I feel comfortable with locking in Memphis -6 earlier today....Confident enough in them covering that even at the current -7/-7 1/2 I'd probably still take them..

Its college basketball, the best players *are* freshmen. Just look at Kevin Durant, John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, Derek Rose, etc. Besides, Miami finished DEAD LAST in the ACC last year and didn't get any better. The Hurricane also played a middle school team and only won by 10. Not to mention the #1 overall factor:

70% of college basketball games are won by the home team. The Tigers fill their stadium more than the Grizzlies do.

Memphis 82
Miami 70

Too many points, Miami covers.

[landers781]

YEa im on miami here afetr flipping my decision

[antifoil]

i took memphis for -6

[agharah1]

Also forgot the other biggest point:

Early-season College Basketball is an inherently sharp play, so there are no square bets

[Joepbj]

the over might have been the better call.

[shaggy3000]

Square bets are doing real well according to sportsinsights.com

Memphis is gonna clown

[agharah1]

Your typical early season matchup of two rusty, all athletic/no skill, teams. I don't think either team shot better than 20% from 3pt range. I didn't get the cover, but at least I had enough on the moneyline to break even.
