    Uconn + 4?

    I understand Marquette may be slightly better than their record shows, and UCONN perhaps is one Kemba Walker injury away from being unranked. But this is surprising, I was completely expecting UCONN to be favored by 3-4 points, not the other way around.

    Anyone else surprise / or have a solid explanation for this?

    Why is the No. 5 team in the country getting 4 points on the road?

    Marquette is the obvious play.

    I wouldn't say obvious. Would you really be shocked if UCONN, the number 4 team in the country wins this game?

    I wouldnt be shocked at all...Im shocked you think marquette a team full of veterans should be +3 at home to Kema Walker and a bunch of freshmen. Can I bet you 396 points and get Marquette +3.5?

    No its not my top play of the day, Its only a small play of the day for me, I was just bringing to attention that I was surprised on the spread and wanted to hear others thoughts on this. In fact, hearing that you guys are all on Marquette may even prompt me to cancel my UCONN bet.

    The right team is favored here, but I'm not going to play it for the simple fact that UCONN winning would not be a shock. There are other plays on the board that are much better IMO.

    I am rolling with UConn +5 (-115).
    With all the close games that UConn has been in and Marquette is notorious for being in, I will gladly take the points with an undervalued UConn squad. They just keep proving all the so called 'experts' wrong each week.

    UCONN once again proved all the naysayers wrong.
