Davidson Again $$$

[St. Andrew]

Wow, the team gets no respect. This is the line I was hoping for but did not expect. Davidson +9.5 leaves me speechless. Did we not just see this team beat Georgetown and dominate Wisconsin?

Every statistical ATS angle favors Davidson. I have never seen such a lopsided ATS advantage. My two favorites: Davdson is 6-0 ATS as an underdog, Kansas is 1-6 ATS vs teams averaging more than 77 ppg. Davidson is 22-11 ATS overall. That doesn't surprise me when I see lines like the one we are seeing now.

I have the game at Kansas -1, Sagarin Predictor has it at Kansas -8, Statfox has it at Kansas -4...it all adds up to value on Davidson. I even bought the hook to take it to Davidson +10, even though I probably didn't need to.

Davidson is special and Curry is a once-in-a-decade tourney player. The team is disciplined, motivated and focused. When I saw them come back from 17 down against Georgetown, I knew this was a team I would ride until they fall. Cinderella may fall tomorrow, but I don't see a blowout....not even close!

DAVIDSON +10

Curry For Prez

Curry For Prez

The mother****er fires me up just to look at him.

[YoungMoney23]

Same bro, he's incredible --- he looks like a 10 year old malnourished little boy and is still the absolute man

[EaglesPhan36]

Hard to pass on the points here, but this could wind up like UCLA/Xavier I believe. I won't be playing it as I am just rooting for a KU win and trip to the Final 4! Kansas has two guys in Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers who will relish the opportunity to keep Curry in check. If they make him work as hard as I believe they will, KU could win by double digits. If Curry continues his streak though, 9 or 10 points with Davidson will look awesome for you guys!

[emat]

Curry is very good, but I think Kansas shuts him down or at least keeps him around 20. Unlike the other teams they have played, Kansas has tremendous team defense and very fast guards. I know Wisconsin was considered a good defensive team, but come on its the Big 10. KU is on a whole different level. KU by 15.

[imgv94]

Davidson wins by 17 and is almost DD dogs the following week.. Doesn't that tell you guys anything?

[EaglesPhan36]

Wisconsin sucks?

It tells me they have not played anyone close to the talent of Kansas.

[imgv94]

Wisconsin sucks?

Wisky was simply tired.. But yeah you made a good point haha

[WestsidePete]

Wisconsin sucks?

bingo!

[Wheell]

A word of warning: I handicap this game as Kansas -12. Kansas and UNC are much better than the rest of the field (although Memphis would be a legit champion if they were to upset either UNC or KU in the finals). I have much respect for Davidson, but Kansas compares to UNC and UNC just handled Louisville by 10. Good luck.

[tab]

Davidson team total U31 (1st half)
Kansas plays very good defense. Davidson relies too much on Curry and perimeter shooting. Kansas plays very good defense and especially in this tournament. Kansas shut down Scottie Reynolds and the high scoring Villanova Wildcats. Davidson played against Georgetown and was able to score only 27 points in the first half. There is no way that Davidson will score more than 30 points in the first half.

[BigOrangeTitans]

Are you guys NUTS?
This is the BEST play on the board, BAR NONE.

Davidson may be billed as a 10 seed, but they most definitely should have been a 5 seed or better. Notice how louisville got 5.5 against NC? Davidson lost to NC by FOUR this year. Lost to duke by SIX. To say that UNC/Kansas are in the same class I agree, but davidson almost beat NC, why not Kansas?

I posted for the wisc game calling it a trap. Well this almost fits the bill. The thing you gotta realize is they get almost 10 points because of SEEDING only.

When everyone thought Wisky/KU would be a good matchup(you included IMGV) and wisky had a shot, all of a sudden they lose by double digits and now wisky sucks?! Well the team that did it is an absolute BEAST.

I will be on davidson tomorrow huge with points,and a sprinkle ML as well. This may be my biggest play of the tournament.

So by all means, please...PLEASE hammer KU. I want that line to go up up up.

[BigOrangeTitans]

It tells me they have not played anyone close to the talent of Kansas.

WRONG
They lost by 4 to UNC.
Do you guys even look at stats? Is everyone betting with their gut now?
You guys simply amaze me.

Heres my writeup on davidson.

[MrFresh]

Looks like a trap

[Wheell]

I'll be blunt: I don't think the line is a trap, i think it is moving towards Kansas and I think Davidson wouldn't lose to UNC by 4 right now. UNC has improved drastically over the season. Davidson is a fine team and I think they would be in a fair fight against UCLA. Unfortunately they drew Kansas. I am laying the 9. Full disclosure:

I have Kansas on the ML, Kansas -9, and Kansas -5 for the 1st half.

In the other Game I have Memphis outright and the under.

[thegreatdiatchi]

Ehh, I've been on Davidson up to this point but I think that Kansas is a really good team. What you need to be careful about with baskets in general is that a team can take a 10+ point lead at the end of the game when it is actually close throughout. With that being said this is a very dangerous play. Kansas ML would be the safest play imo or you could try and tease Davidson up to say +14 and hope they stay with it. I don't think the line is a trap here considering the blowouts the #1 seeds have done for the last few games.

[St. Andrew]

WRONG
They lost by 4 to UNC.

It was even more impressive because the game was played in Charlotte.

So UNC has gotten better throughout the year? Well I would say Davidson has too.

[St. Andrew]

Here's why Davidson has won 25 straight games and hasn't lost in 2008:

Head Coach Bob McKillop

“Our system is based on balance, and so few people understand balance. There’s a tremendous balance between humility and confidence. Steph Curry has a tremendous balance between fearlessness and patience. And I think our system has a balance between freedom and discipline. I think that’s something that can be a great example for the world, because we need some balance in the world we live in today.”

A reporter asked McKillop to elaborate on what the world could use.

“Well, parents today abdicate their responsibilities by not disciplining their children and thinking that’s love,” McKillop explained. “Love is a balance of that and discipline in a political world, in the world of the church, in the world of corporations. You could pick your field. There’s a complete lack of balance between love and discipline.”

BOL to ALL



Junk

[BigOrangeTitans]

Wow, to the poster who said KU ml is safe, you are wrong. Never have all 4 1 seeds advanced, and thats what you guys really dont understand. History is doomed to repeat itself...

davidson +9.5 is a huge play for me, hope you guys hammer KU if ya want.

[junkman773]

Never say Never if one #1 seed does not make it look at the other game IMO.

BOL
Junk

[lowbets]

Im undecided still on who to go with here. But so far Im on the over at 143 1/2, bought a point for 200 risking 260.

May wait till the texas game is over before I lay money on this one.

[OLGC_Slayer]

Wisconsin sucks?

[Goose13]

No Center Matchup

Hard to pass on the points here, but this could wind up like UCLA/Xavier I believe. I won't be playing it as I am just rooting for a KU win and trip to the Final 4! Kansas has two guys in Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers who will relish the opportunity to keep Curry in check. If they make him work as hard as I believe they will, KU could win by double digits. If Curry continues his streak though, 9 or 10 points with Davidson will look awesome for you guys!

Here's something you guys missed, no one is talking about the Davidson team has no center, going back to the only losses Davidson had all year they lost to UNC, UCLA, and a couple of other teams with dominant centers like Hansborough, Love etc. In the Wisconsin game the Davidson player had three straight fouls called on him trying to guard against Wisconsin's center. No bs calls tonite for Davidson, the slipper will turn into a pumpkin tonite because Kansas center's Arthur and Caan will dominate Kansas in a rout Goose is coming!

I wish I knew your address because I would mail you a Kansas towel to wipe the egg of your face tommorrow morning when you wake up and realize how bad a play you made. Sorry for you my friend. Think with your head and not your heart!

[Goose13]

Center Matchup

http://forum.sbrforum.com/players-ta...-tomorrow.html

Do you watch games the only games Davidson lost to all year were teams with dominant centers which they have a problem with you might get lucky and cover the spread but no way in this great green earth will they win outright or my name is Orville Redenbacher

[SchlepRock]

I see this game going either way ATS. But edge to Kansas.
Memphis Over Texas and 4 #1 seeds for the first time in History.

[supershark]

Hold on a Sec there Goose. When they lost to UNC by 4 (what 3+ months ago?) it was because of UNC dominant center Hansborough, then you go on to say Kansas is going to beat Davidson by over 10+ because of Sasha Kaun. Are you confused or are you trying to tell me that Kaun >> Hansborough?

[marley33]

Zone is the Key

Love TEXAS ML (10 STAR)
Tex Meph under 143 (2 STAR)

KU Money Line (15 STAR)
and Over 146 (5 Star)

[khaliagent]

kansas is the pick here just too much offense and strong defense and davidson is going to gas

[BigOrangeTitans]

all one seeds in the final four? No way...
this one will be close guys.

Its my GOY.

[SchlepRock]

Memphis is in the bag but the over 143.5 is gonna be close.

[St. Andrew]

Here comes the Curry show!
