Notre Dame can beat any team in the country and considering your always asking for peoples oppinions on who to bet this has great value at +2500

YOUNGBUCK · 03-01-11, 07:30 AM

I can't ask for opinions, and disagree ?

instead of disagreeing you should post who you think will win because your not doing anything by disagreeing and not answering my simple question

Not the biggest future player unless its earlier in the year with some extreme value. I don't think ND is necessarily bad bet, but without being able to look over the bracket/potential match ups for them I wouldn't take them for anything less than +3500 probably. I have read a handful of articles, and whatnot that say generally futures end up being bad value anyways. Not an expert in that area, and maybe if you planned on hedging +2500 it would make sense.

Good luck !

Duke does not have the beef up front.
Last year Zoubek, though a "role player", stopped them from getting pushed around.
In the NCAA's, refs "let 'em play" so goon front lines do well.
EXAMPLE: Michigan State will go further than you think, with the muscle they have up front.
(when those front line goons lose eligibility, they will go on to be bouncers in nightclubs)
KU-Pitt

The 2002 Maryland Terrapins were the only team in the last 30 years to win the tournament without a single McDonalds All American on the roster. You can start by eliminating any team without them. Almost every tournament has been won by a coach who has recruited at least 5 McDAAs, and Thad Matta and John Calipari are the only coachs who have recruited more than 8 in their careers who don't have a championship.

sicky123 · 03-01-11, 10:48 AM

I want KU/OSU to meet up somewhere very badly

HoulihansTX · 03-01-11, 11:26 AM

Dont judge these teams on how they do at home. In the tourny you have no home games, and you might be sent across the country to play.

Look at their road stats,and go from their.

Like Wisky, they always have this incredible home record. But once they go to the tourny, the predictable 2nd Round outing happens.

ebbearsfb1 · 03-01-11, 11:36 AM

Houlian beat me to it... saint johns and nd r dookie on the road... byu vs george mason

DblDeuce · 03-01-11, 11:46 AM

Duke and Ohio state

DblDeuce · 03-01-11, 11:47 AM

Anything is possible though

BOBBYW · 03-01-11, 11:56 AM

Got these early BYU-100/1 & TEX-40/1...Not saying they win but I plan to hedge their 1st game for a large middle...

Stick23 · 03-01-11, 01:55 PM

BYU vs ND, that would be a great game...

Ice House · 03-01-11, 02:07 PM

Ohio State and Duke

t-wizzle · 03-01-11, 02:10 PM

I think a Big Ten Final is very possible.

Ohio State - Purdue

I don't think that this would be out of the question depending on brackets. Damn shame that Hummel got hurt, Purdue would be even more dangerous with him.

Louisvillekid1 · 03-01-11, 03:36 PM

Kansas St.
Louisville
Texas
Pittsburgh

EaglesPhan36 · 03-01-11, 03:38 PM

It's stupid to guess on anything before the brackets come out. Every team you think could be in the final four could be in the same region for all you know.

I just dont see any of those teams making it. I know its wide open this year but I dont just dont see those schools doing it. Especially Texas, they still have Rick Barnes last time I checked so no way they get there. Pitt would be the best chance of one doing it.

TPowell · 03-01-11, 03:44 PM

Ohio State is about the only "sure thing" I like to reach the Final 4 this year

Inkwell77 · 03-01-11, 04:00 PM

These people on the St Johns wagon are crazy. That team is going to get behind in a 1st or 2nd round game and then get a bunch of fouls called on them and be out of the tournament. The UCLA game is going to get repeated in the tournament.

Also, the refs call NCAA tourny games way tighter than any Big East game. Being a high school referee I have seen many NCAA tournament games broken down on film and the refs are scrutinized very harshly during these games for not calling fouls.

EasyHustlin · 03-01-11, 04:23 PM

There isn't a team out there right now that I feel comfortable backing. A few weeks ago I would have said Texas, but RickBarnes has shown me once again why he can't be trusted. It's tough to pick two teams, I guess I would say Pitt and Ohio state, but even that's very unlikely. This is going to be a fun month

dozer · 03-01-11, 06:10 PM

syracuse vs kansas

sicky123 · 03-04-11, 02:22 AM

Sorry college didn't realize.

Only team I did play so far is Pitt +1200. Not sure if you consider that value, but I thought it was decent. Maybe something happens in the BE tourney, and they drop early resulting in a better price. Will also be in vegas soon, and maybe some places out there have some better odds than what I can get online. Ever look at bodogs futures ??? Just checked them out with a bunch of others, and what a rip off they are!!

Yea it has value in it. Im kinda undecided on weather or not I like PITT, but I do respect the program because they created a program the right way.

There isnt much value in any of the Futures now though but +1200 is better then what your gonna see come tourney time once the brackets are released.

sicky123 · 03-04-11, 02:57 AM

Everyone is "talking down" the top 5 we have this year, but really I think they are pretty damn tough. Kansas/OSU/Pitt/Duke are going to be very very hard outs. Well I could do more research w/ Duke, and I plan too. The other 3 I know very well though.

A bad path could really hurt Pitt more than OSU/KU though. So I am kind of hoping for a decent price after the bracket is out on pitt in case I really like their path. That way I can get a bit more down on them.
