Is Oakland going to bury the board today?

[No coincidences]

Tennessee isn't anything special. Everyone seems to be in love with them. Why? I can't find one legitimate angle in taking the Vols in a true road game with RLM working against them.

[chiliv5]

me either..... everyone and my mother is on them. sinking ship

[Stack B's]

If they do - im going with them.....

feeling tenn and xavier big time today....after a good football weekend...


Thought Tenn was impressive against Duke and Memphis even though both resulted in losses...I think people are feeling this is dangerous simply off the good Oakland team from last year that lost their best player....

[face]

i'm no expert but i thought they looked pretty good against duke. trey golden is impressive and relentless, shooting 46%, 42% from 3, and an 82% free throw. line movement scared me out of a big play though

[BrigadierPudding]

Betting short road favs in college baskets is a good way to go broke in a hurry.

Tenn was pretty impressive in Maui even tho they went 1-2. The new coach has them playing very hard and they have a good strong post player who looks good and Golden isnt bad either. Dont know anything about Oakland this year tho, just know them from last season.

I would not be surprised.
The time difference alone could make for a sluggish Tenn team

[gba]

I hope Tenn rolls so I can come back on here and laugh at this stupid thread....and what makes you even think Oakland is so good??????

it's about more than just talent.

this is a stay-away game for me.

[BrigadierPudding]

FWIW, Pomeroy has Oakland winning this game 79-78.

[tokio]

If the total is in the high 130s, I'll play the over. Take Oakland with the points or Tenn ML

[justwinthisone]

tenn did look good in that memphis game. i didnt think they would be able to keep up but they kept fighting....i have not seen oakland this year

These schools are both in the same timezone...

Who said Oakland is good? You're backing an unproven/untested Tennessee team in their first true road game as a short fave in their first game back from Maui. I don't see the angle at all; want to know why everyone seems to be in love with the play.

He was thinking Oakland, CA, not Oakland Mich. Lol

Do not worry.I did the same thing last year.

If tenn plays like they did against duke or memphis even tho they lost then they will win tonight and by more then 3...I might be wrong but thats just me.

haha, yea I figured...to be honest, I did that a couple years ago too when they played UNC in the tourney.

[alansmith23]

It's oak very poor performances against sec teams. There is an injury to tenn best rebounder and court leader also the game is in a 4k person gym so home court is real tonight. Also oak 3 ball has been real bad but that could change and vice versa for teen. Starting to look like too many variables and a no play but if tenn was healthy they would win easily with tough d and an inside advantage.

Why would Tennessee be "up" for Oakland like they were vs. Duke and Memphis?

[No coincidences]

I know Benson is gone, but I wonder how many of you were on Tennessee at -10 or whatever last year when Oakland went to Knoxville and won SU.

[Tmuscle]

You guys don't learn do you? That's what everybody was saying when unc playing unlv. Guess what, Vegas took all your money. Fade the public you'll be making more money.

[Tmuscle]

You only fade the public when most of time they think it's a sure bet.

[gba]

well may the best man win

[YOUNGBUCK]

Have u watched Oak this year NoCo? They are not the same team and from what ive seen Tenn has gotten up for every opponent... I dont get how ppl couldnt get up to play a competitive sport theyve played their whole life if u cant get UP for every game ur prob not playing D1. Im on Tenn bc I think they r better ive been impressed and Oakland has not impressed I watched their Utah Valley game where they won by 6 at home... I was on Uconn on Sat. ignored all movement so hopefully it works out again bol everyone

I think you answered your own question with the next post a minute later...

[Louisvillekid1]

IM going down with the ship, go vols!

[BigDofBA]

It happens all of the time in sports. Why do you think teams usually struggle coming off of big wins??? It's hard to play with the same intensity every night.

That being said, there is no reason for Tenn. to not be ready for this game. Tenn has been better than expected and Oakland hasn't been very impressive.

I would still take the points here though.

Seems like a coinflip.

Only reason I could see is Oakland beat them last year 89-82 in Tenn when Tenn was ranked #7. Granted both teams have had some major changes with personnel so its not apples to apples, but I am sure Tenn. Coaching staff reminded all those players of that game. Oakland is going to play at a fast pace in this game and I think Tenn. will run as well. Over seems easy in this game if Oakland is competitive and keeps it close.

I know wat u mean I still play competitive ball and would kill to not lose so it just blows my mind

I don't either, but it happens all the time.

[BigDan]

long term oak is certainly the wining side of this bet..that really all ppl need to know, sure they might get a win with ten-a-key tonight but betting short road favs everyone thinks are "easy money" is a real bad habit to get into..throw in ten coming off the tourney in Hawaii and it their first true road gm of the season i dont see any good reason to bet them..

normally id be on oak but without the big man and revenge factor from last season not sure i wanna play it(of coarse all that just makes ten-3 all that more inciting to some folks which would worry me if i was a ten backer tonight)...either way it has to be oak or pass imho..

[RonPaul2008]

I like oakland +3, on it.
