Going big on Kansas State vs. Syracuse

isotopes · 03-15-12, 04:54 PM

K-State should be favored, but more likely a pick, can't see cuse favored by that much, the books will get pounded

i got K-State on my big bracket too over cuse

lite1up · 03-15-12, 04:55 PM

yeah, I have K State bouncing Cuse in my bracket as well...

Really hope you guys are wrong and Syracuse is favored in this game. They are absolute garbage without Melo down low.

I have the 'cuse barely getting by K state and getting bounced by Vandy. Wouldn't be too shocked to see K state win. I don't see any value in the line though if it's around 5.

I have K State over Syracuse in my bracket, but how does the opening round game have any correlation to their next?

It doesn't.

slow down. The game just ended so your emotional right now. Re-visit this when your a little more level headed. Be careful with all this kstate winning outright talk

In the past, top 3 seeds that struggle in the 1st round have been great fades in the 2nd round.

So yes, there is a correlation between teams escaping the 1st round despite uninspired play and then underperforming in the ensuing round.

Regardless, Syracuse is overseeded in their current form. Syracuse/K State should be a pick...if Cuse is favored by 3 or more I'm pounding K State.

Yeah, sports gambling is so simple. Insert trend, unload on it.

i doubt this. If anything the refs will be giving kstate the calls to make up for the mess they made today. Besides, the refs LOOOOOVE kstate to begin with

Have you watched Syracuse play over the past month?

BernardMadoff · 03-15-12, 05:12 PM

K State aint winning, still a bad matchup for them even without Melo.

No coincidences · 03-15-12, 05:14 PM

K-State is garbage.

lite1up · 03-15-12, 05:16 PM

Consensus is split. Have watched plenty of both teams, Kansas State passes my eye test better than Syracuse recently.

Maybe I need to get my vision checked.

SASH · 03-15-12, 05:19 PM

kstate's got the edge in heart, hustle, desire, and want to. This goes a long way in college basketball. Wouldnt be the biggest upset in the history of the world. BOL

Orange by 5! KSU better not do the "salute" to the crowd With these refs, you could get tossed.
For those scratching your head I'm refuring to the Pinstrip bowl two years ago vs these two teams.
