wtf is uconn at + 7.5 for????

[dozer]

no way line should be that high. makes me think pitt opens a can on uconn. probably wins by 8. line should be 3.

both have played 1 good oponent. pitt got hammared by tennessee and uconn beat mich st.

jmo

good luck.

[Jessica]

Plus these games between these two are relatively close each time I believe....

eh uconn has also beaten kentucky and wichita state and pitt beat texas and an ok maryland. it also turns out that tennessee sucks.

anyway i'm equally perplexed and thought it would open at pitt -1 or 2.

[DaOutlaw1x]

Should jump on UConn while it lasts

[LockPickMaster]

Wait till it hits +8, it should after everyone hammers Pitt

[chiliv5]

I am making a small play on it.... seems to good to be true

[ji03]

I really like UConn at +7.5 as well. I thought it would be much lower.

[LockPickMaster]

Line is at 7 now

[zanman822]

Guys I would wait closer to game time to see what the line does and see where the money is going.

[WildcatNation]

I would have to say the play is uconn but will wait closer till game time to play it.

[Siresco]

I think line would go down closer to game time.. i got it at ML at +270 and played the spread as well. GL to those who pick Pitts. KEMBA WALKER is gonna go off in this game lets goo UCONN

[BigDofBA]

I think the bookies, Vegas, ect, still aren't sold on this Uconn team partly because of how young they are. On the other side of the coin, Pitt is a fairly veteran team and they will be playing at home.

Quite honestly, I don't think Vegas has caught up with how good Uconn really is. I have Pitt as a 3-4 point favorite so I will be playing Uconn +7.

This happened in college football as well. I made a lot of money on Oklahoma State earlier in the year because they were very underrated in the eyes of Vegas. Likewise, I made a ton of money fading Texas because they were overrated in the eyes of Vegas. There are always a few teams the bookies don't catch up with until about mid-season. Put Baylor and K-State in the overrated category this season!

Anyway, I could be totally wrong. I'm not putting a large wager on Uconn but I think they are a lot better than people are giving them credit for. We'll see.

Uconn has the advantage on size. But they only run with 2 true guards on the hole team. So they get beat up alot and go to the line alot. They are decent at the line at 74% as a team. Pitt is always been known as a physical team. They will get in foul trouble. Thats why the back has gone down to 140. I to like Uconn in this even though they are a very young team with two starters as freshmen.

I would take Uconn right now at +7.5
and under 140

GL to all

Actually that is incorrect. The past 3 matchups between these 2 teams resulted in Pitt winning by 10 points twice and 8 points once.

Don't know where you came up with a size advantage for Uconn but that is wrong.

[Hammew]

Do you guys do any homework before you post?? Almost every post in this thread is wildly inaccurate.

I agree ... was gonna quote like half of these posts and point out the inaccuracies .... but i see you beat me to it ... most of this info is pure crap

[dawetpuma]

UCONN projected starters...
Giffel G-F 6-7
Oriakhi F-C 6-9
Okwandu c 7-0
Lamb G-F 6-5
Walker G 6-1

Pitt projected starters....
Brown F 6-6
Zanna F 6-9
McGhee C 6-10
Wanamaker G 6-4
Gibbs G 6-2

If you read anything about this game All over the net it states the facts that I have also written. Thankyou and if you have the time Hammew I suggest you do some research before you post or Bet on this game. I live in the hart of the big east. Thanks again.

I know man, I read through this and it is astonishing how off base they are.

[LLXC]

+7.5 was too hard to pass, hopefully UConn covers.

This only proves how ridiculous the statements are. You live in the Heart of the big east??? What does that even mean?? I live in Cincinnati. And you are still wrong.

[Hammew]

BTW I still don't see the size advantage for Uconn.

[dawetpuma]

Okay im not going to channel my energy with someone that is sitting on here telling me that I have Inaccurate info when I know I dont. I wish you luck bud. Seriously I hope you do well tonight. GL pal

[Hammew]

Here you geniuses go. The combined height of Uconns starters is 32'10" and Pitt is 32'7" so you are telling me the difference in this game is a span of 3" over 5 players. That is the difference maker?

[Hammew]

Okay im not going to channel my energy with someone that is sitting on here telling me that I have Inaccurate info when I know I dont. I wish you luck bud. Seriously I hope you do well tonight. GL pal

I will do well tonight just like every other night, but you are way offbase. Don't get mad when you get called on the BS. Take a look at rebounding and then tell me who has the advantage.

[dawetpuma]

Tell me some facts about the game rather then trying to blow mine up. You have no arguement here man. I want to know your point of view. C'mon let me see it? Hey maybe you'll convince me to go with Pitt. Your obviously good at this fact stuff.

[dawetpuma]

Im not on here to talk Sh!t! im here to see other post and post my tid bit as well. If you dont have anything interesting to say keep it moving bcz you just sound dumb and are of no help.

[diaboliquesaint]

Too good to be true? Indeed. I'm going against you on this one, just for that reason.

[Hammew]

I am good with the facts, much better than you and I have made this painfully apparent. If you want to read my writeup check my record or learn something, stop on by the Princeton Attack thread at about 5pm.

[dawetpuma]

Folks I have now changed my mind due to the ill effect the hammew and his facts I am leaning towards the panthers tonight. Wait thats there name right Pitt Panthers? I just dont want to get that wrong.

Pitt -7.5

GL to all

[TPowell]

I made Pitt -8.5 so no play for me

the reason UConn is +7 is because they havent proven they are an elite team. Their wins were great but they came in such a short span that anybody could have gotten hot and done that for the most part. Pitt, on the other hand is a proven commodity. I have Pitt as around 4.5 points better than UConn straight up. Add in home court and it's Pitt -8.5 for me

[LT Profits]

Line is high because this is the first road game all season for a Connecticut team that is the eighth youngest in the country. Will be interesting to see how their kids react in one of the toughest road venues in the land.

Also, Pittsburgh is the best offensive rebounding team in the country, grabbing the offensive board on 48.0 percent of their missed shots, which is an insanely high number.

[Sclass600]

Line looks fishy
