Any thoughts on uta vs haw late night?

mjslovin · 12-23-10, 10:54 PM

I thought the line was very small. Both teams suck. Utah just slightly less.

peteymal · 12-23-10, 10:56 PM

lolol hmmm. mayb ill take the points and cross my fingers

Cuse0323 · 12-23-10, 11:10 PM

i'm gonna go with utah for no reason in particular

Bigtoilet · 12-23-10, 11:18 PM

I watched the Hawaii game last night very closely. The refs are always influenced in Hawaii (In Hawaii's favor). They helped Hawaii cover last night. Hawaii is without 2 of their best players again tonight. The total is interesting here...138.5. Gonna be a fast and loose game, lot's of 3's will be shot. Last night the total was 133 and the 2 teams shot 35 and 33 percent respectively (70-62 final). This game could mirror Hawaii's game earlier against CSF when it was in the 150's. Hawaii will bounce back with a good shooting effort tonight. I see alot more value (pretty good actually) on the over the total vs playing either side though. FAST AND LOOSE GAME. Going over.

Pretty bold assumption. How do they help them cover? Were fouls that uneven last night?

looking at the stats it doesn't seem true. Hawaii had two players foul out, had 7 more fouls as a team and 12 less FT shots. FSU is a bigger team who spends more time down low so that's to be expected, didn't watch it though so maybe they helped Hawaii out in some spots.

Bigtoilet · 12-23-10, 11:24 PM

Key fouls is the "key." Refs get intimidated on the islands...THEY DO! Actually pretty well known too.

Well, I'm on Utah too so...

Bigtoilet · 12-23-10, 11:30 PM

I'm on the OVER. I HATE betting against Hawaii at home in their tourny...HATE IT. But, I am rooting for UTAH for you.

Nice write-up, especially at this late hour

Im on the over...let's cash it !!

Bigtoilet · 12-23-10, 11:41 PM

Good to be joined for a bedtime winner. I sleep better this way.

)Stop and pop game for 40 minutes. Rainbows need to entertain the fans. It's important in Hawaii.

pm9964 · 12-23-10, 11:47 PM

why is utah favored IN hawaii with close to the same record?

fury · 12-23-10, 11:48 PM

Hawaii moneyline

Bigtoilet · 12-23-10, 11:51 PM

2 starters out for Hawaii. Just like last night. Utah is not strong this year it's true. All I know is that both teams will wanna have fun and score tonight.

Cuse0323 · 12-23-10, 11:51 PM

looks like Utah is missing a good player too, josh watkins.

pm9964 · 12-23-10, 11:52 PM

yea but if utah isnt strong this year, why are they the fav? Are those 2 hawaii starters that much of an influence to give the home team a 3 point line? It screams to me utah as it begs for hawaii action imo.

Bigtoilet · 12-24-10, 12:01 AM

I would have a very very hard time taking Utah. I am not concerned with the side though. But if I had too......HAD TOO......I'd take Hawaii.

TwampSix · 12-24-10, 12:05 AM

I'm going Hawaii ML. BOL to you guys either way.

IN_shambles · 12-24-10, 12:09 AM

meh took utah

El_Pateaux · 12-24-10, 12:27 AM

I'm on Hawaii ML as well - even though they're missing two starters, they still played pretty well against a good Florida St team last night (granted Florida St just lost to Butler, but still), and they tend to do well at home. I don't think Utah will be able to hold their own very well, nor will they have as much motivation as Hawaii.

GL all!

TPowell · 12-24-10, 12:33 AM

on Hawaii

9 · 12-24-10, 12:33 AM

on utah big. they arent great, but their perimeter defense is very tough and they work super hard so i dont expect hawaii to get the open looks they got from 3 last night - which is pretty much their only chance of winning.

big play on utah -165
medium play on utah -3.5

Bigtoilet · 12-24-10, 12:34 AM

Run and gun time is here!! They will get up alot of shots...hope they go in at a high rate

Cuse0323 · 12-24-10, 12:48 AM

refs are a joke so far

Brock Landers · 12-24-10, 12:51 AM

Utah is just a terrible team, Hawaii looks great vs them

Bigtoilet · 12-24-10, 12:54 AM

Going waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay under. WTF

mjslovin · 12-24-10, 12:55 AM

That fight between the two Miss. St. players looked pretty intense!

Bigtoilet · 12-24-10, 12:57 AM

Utah clearly trying dictate a slower pace that Hawaii does NOT want.

Bigtoilet · 12-24-10, 01:03 AM

2 HEAVYWEIGHTS in that Miss St fight!!

Cuse0323 · 12-24-10, 01:09 AM

can't breathe on hawaii tonight, whoever said the refs are on their nuts was right, wish i listened.

CollegePro · 12-24-10, 01:11 AM

wtf is up with all these fouls???

Bigtoilet · 12-24-10, 01:13 AM

I'm tellin' ya, the refs protect Hawaii. They don't wanna get beat up after the game by the locals.

RonPaul2008 · 12-24-10, 01:16 AM

I'm on the 1st half over 64.5, looking real good right now.

Hawaii by exactly 3 for the game and a 138 or 139 total would be nice too.

Was up way too late last night...likely be going to bed after I take a look at the halftime lines.

Bigtoilet · 12-24-10, 01:20 AM

Any questions on how the refs protect Hawaii at home? LOLOLOL
