    UCONN @ PITT ( WRITE UP ) ( Indepth Review)

    Ok so this line caught me way off GUARD.......... I was expecting the line to open at PITT -1 or -2 just for the fact that the game is @ PITT and you gotta respect the homecourt advantage in the game of college basketball. Im a fan of the Pitt Panthers basketball program they do it the right way and build the right way. Im not a fan of UCONN and have never been a fan of UCONN, but they have proven themselves to belong even if I do feel like there a 1 man show.

    The Huskies have solid wins over

    Wichita State- Most Likely to win the MVC and go Dancing
    Michigan State- Solid Squad just gotta give them time can't fade IZZO come tourney time
    Kentucky- Another team I hate but there talented nonetheless and can play ball

    UCONN is currently ranked #4 in the country and I sure as hell didnt have these guys on my preseason rankings.

    They rank 26th in the country at points per game racking up 79.6 points and are 3rd in the country at rebounds per game collecting 43.8


    The Pittsburgh Panthers have solid wins over

    Texas- A team fighting to prove they belong and want to go dancing again

    And have 1 loss against

    Tennessee the crap shoot of all programs in the country. This loss is turning into a big question mark now for Pitt because Tenn has proven they know how to lose after pulling a win out of there asses against an awesome Belmont team that I love.


    But does this equation add up properly to see UCONN getting +7.5 ?

    The number is set at +7.5 for this reason though ( STATS )

    Pittsburgh has off the chart stats as a team

    20th in the country in points per game averaging 80.7

    2nd in the country in rebounds per game collecting 44.5

    1st in the country with ASSISTS dishing out 20.4 a game! Thats 42 points being shared


    27th in the country field goal percentage .482


    Do we follow a team that dishes the ball well or a team that relies on 1 player and his go to man?

    Kemba does lead the country in points per game though. Can this veteran squad shut down 1 veteran player?


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    My Play

    UCONN @ PITT --------- OVER 141

    If I had a gun to my head and had to pick the spread...... well honestly I would just have the guy who is going to shoot me flip a coin. Heads UCONN Tails PITT

    Will Kemba score 30 points tonight, doubtful with the Pitt Defense.
    Ken Pom has Pitt winning by ten.
    I would play Pitt -7.5 for small and then see what the 2nd half offers.

    This spread is a tough play all around. Pitt is really tough at home, and UCONN is defintely a game players get juiced up for. That being said, 7 seems too high to me. Great game to watch, not seeing much to bet here though.

    why would anyone take that spread.. Pitts @ -7 is too high. If anything wait till before game time to get a good line if you want Pitts. I'll take UCONN with the points and ML. I doubt even with pitts defense they will SU beat UCONN.. They usually win games the games that count and can beat any school IMO. Kemba will get his team involved and would dominate pitts tonight..

    The spread is 7 b/c Pitt has beat Uconn by at least 8 in their past 3 matchups not to mention the game is at Pitt and Uconn and is still undefeated. This is a classic trap game.
