mlb. any particular reason? have you seen either team play? i was leaning towards Valpo and wondering your reason.

[EaglesPhan36]

Eastern Michigan absolutely cannot score for shit. Their last game with Detroit is misleading to as the Titans missed 19 FTs that would have salted that game away easy for the visitors. If Valpo cans FTs and plays good defense, I like them by double digits. If not, then this will be a Maalox Masher .. and ugly.

not too familiar with eastern mich .. from what i understand they are awful but still ... teams may be shitty but rarely do they go without playing decent here or there ... Valpo on the other hand may be 8 or 9 or even more points better than them but they are not such a dominant team where they will go in there and take it to them. Eastern is also starting to play a tad better ... the more i look into it i will probably just pass .. no real value either way .. a lot depends on which team comes out and plays for both of these sides

I agree. FT's will be a key to the cover IMO. I took a shot w/ Valpo today.

Live feed

http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-oakland.html

but the scores are switched on the video for some reason.

[EaglesPhan36]

Probably because the score operator is watching porn.

Listening to this announcer during the feed is making my head spin >.>

[PharaohUB]

watchin a feed with no announcer. valpo is way more into this game. you constantly here there bench screaming and stuff. already on the game and first half so not going to double dip, but valp 2nd half might not be a bad bet if you can find a line.

[PharaohUB]

my feed had the score flipped on the game so when i turned it on it was 7-0 Eastern Mich and I was pissed! haha.

Oh, I meant that idiot in the background with the microphone >.>. Calling out all these competitions LOL.

I thought the exact same thing, except I've got east mich and under 129 in a multi. Was happy until someone told me it was upside down

[Hanger]

Me too Zebo- I just thought East Mich was up 17 LMAO

[zebo1337]

Hahaha.. God, if I knew East Mich were this bad I would have never put any money near them

[rfr3sh]

how many free throws in this second half

[Hanger]

9 Point game I think.......I am so confused lol

[zebo1337]

Well, my under looks dead in the water.

[EaglesPhan36]

Valpo won't cover this, their defense has gotten progressively horrible in the 2nd half. When they got up 15, it's like they stopped defending. No idea why they played zone, their zone is really bad. They need EMU to start turning it over.

[zebo1337]

Too many f**ken FT's >.>

[EaglesPhan36]

Bailed out. Big white F couldn't make two point blank tip ins. 65-55 Valpo with under 4:00 to go. FT edge SHOULD go to Valpo. These last four minutes will be brutal.

[rfr3sh]

same...tough loss on the under..

[Hanger]

This is worse than watching 6 year olds play....at least you can laugh at them...

[EaglesPhan36]

Valpo .... they have a full court press and you throw it into the guy who is going to get trapped in the corner? Nice.

[Hanger]

Thank you East Michigan and Valpo for that horsecrap 5 second call

[mlb]

well east mich covered .. not too upset that i didnt take it .. seemed like a crap game
