I live rt by these schools and i know Odu is better. I know they will win this.

Odu is hott right now on a 8 game winning streak. i dont see them stopping here tonite. During that winning streak they went 6-1-1 ats.

These 2 split this year vcu beating odu at home by 9 and odu beating vcu in their last meeting at vcu by 11.

This line at -4.5 opened at 4 i believe we get a good line because vcu was 5 point dogs last nite and blasted george mason by 16. otherwise i belive this line would be around -6,-6.5 around that area.

neutral court or not where they are playing is actually right around the corner from each other prolly an hr difference or so. but expect there to be alot of odu fans their. so im going to give this court advantage to odu.

nehow with that being said im taking ODU -4.5 (IM BUYING THE HOOK GETTING IT AT -4)

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE AS ALWAYS

[freeze]

ALSO, i dont wanna hear that odu has nothing to play for. well if they didnt then they may as well not even show up to the game cuz its pointless. trust me this kids wanna win. go back to odu and think they are superstars. im feeling real good bout odu

you got an avatar. now i can support your picks. BOL

wow freeze....not sure if you actually live that close to the area cuz you would definitely know that VCU would be considered the home team. I'm going to the game and it is going to be absolutely packed with VCU fans man!!!! Come on, get real a bit and don't toss out the idea that ODU is more of a hometeam here lol.....students at VCU can literally walk there! ODU is about an hour or two away from the Colisseum......I can not believe your post about thinking ODU is more of a hometeam here.

Other sbr members, be very very cautious listening to this guy.....he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to who has the 'theoretical' homecourt advantage. I'm all over VCU +4.5.....I would tread real carefully going with ODU. Expect fishy refereeing and fishy plays/subs by ODU coach. GO RAMS!

dude i party at odu all the time and its bout an hour away their fans will pack the place. dont sit up here and tell me

[sportman1313]

dude, VCU is 1.2 miles from the colisseum....the school is throwing away free tickets. Literally the whole VCU will be there.....bro, no disrespect but you're suggestion that ODU is the hometeam is absolutely moronic. Get real man

[freeze]

so im taking it ur biased ur a vcu fan thats all we will see the outcome of the game and u look like a donkey

[sportman1313]

haha, far from a vcu fan....don't like them the least bit man. U already made yourself look like a donkey claiming that ODU is the hometeam....what a joke man. Yes, I'm playing VCU on this one but i don't like them at all......they'll get it done today tho (just fyi, in the caa I like mason and still think they'll be dangerous in the tourney). I like how ODU plays also and am not a fan of vcu the least bit......only in the area cuz brother goes here. They're in a very good spot here. I don't like to make probs on this forum but I'm just trying to clarify that what you said is way off about odu fans being more in number than vcu fans in this one....pretty comical actually. Regardless thod, BOL to u man

so im taking it ur biased ur a vcu fan thats all we will see the outcome of the game and u look like a donkey

take it easy guys, its just a game

you make some good points, but playing at the cavelike Richmond Coliseum isn't exactly a huge home-court advantage for a team that shoots 40.7% of their shots from 3-point range (yes, i know that they shot lights out yesterday, but i don't expect that to continue vs ODU). nothing like the cozy Siegel Center. i'm from Richmond and i can never remember the CAA tournament being packed regardless of which teams were in the finals. that said, i think that the line is tight, 1H under for me, and i'll definitely be pulling for you and your Rams for sentimental reasons (and to see the CAA get 3 teams in the tourney). have fun at the game, hope you get the straight-up ML winner.

well we will see come game time i know how odu fans are. so all ima say to u is we will see

i basically agree with you except for one thing: if the school's giving away free tickets, there's no demand for tickets. if the championship game had sold out in record time after VCU upset GMU yesterday, you'd have a better point. the Coliseum will be half-filled at most as always for a non-wrestling event.

that means ODU has got a chance to win

freeze you fuckin dumbass, vcu is right next to the fukin arena. im def going against u

[BiffTFinancial]

definitely. personally, i wouldn't bet on it, though. the VCU team that played yesterday was a lot different than the one that's been showing up the last few weeks. we'll see if that same team shows up again tonight.

You would think the conference finals tickets would be sold the day before gameday? Anyhow, even though this game is closer to the campus of VCU I still think ODU is a better team. If VCU can shoot lights out like yesterday they'll take the game...I just don't see it happening.

i give it to em they had a good game but i personally dfont see them doin it twice in a row

[grzftbl]

Jesus, it's not like ODU has to travel across country to get there! So, basically, both teams will be well represented (fan wise).

I'm pulling for our old coach and ODU but it wouldn't surprise me if VCU covers.

My .02, BOL to all.

i kno just becuase vcu is closer dont mean they will have home adv. but i may be wrong bout odu having it and if vcu really does it wouldnt be by a whole lot reguardless tho i dont see vcu having another game like yesterday

[Wiggums5]

The huge dissadvantage VCU has is on the glass. ODU are monsters getting rebounds. They out rebounded VCU 40-21 with 18 offensive rebounds in their last meeting. Even in ODU loss to VCU they still out rebounded them. How is VCU gonna keep up?

you would think, but it's just never been that way for the CAA tournament. i swear, in some games, it gets windy in there, it's so cavernous and empty. that's why i'm on the 1H under, esp after both played such high-scoring 1Hs yesterday. VCU hit 9 threes in the 1H Sunday, what do you think ODU's primary focus will be from the outset? VCU's solid, but ODU is better, esp on boards and defense. they should be able to keep VCU from getting untracking from outside by turning it into a grind from the outset. well, at least that's what i'm hoping....

hey best of luck on ur under

[redrum]

i like odu to control this game from the tip

[BiffTFinancial]

hey best of luck on ur under

thanks! here are the attendance figures from yesterday's semifinal games (bearing in mind that the Richmond Coliseum holds just shy of 12,000): for Hofstra/ODU, 8,962; for VCU/GMU, N/A. that's right, with the local team in the semis against #25 Mason, the numbers were so bad that they did not report them. i'm calling b.s. on that 8,962 too, place was maybe a little more than half-full from the looks of it. there may be more VCU fans than ODU fans there, but it won't exactly be Cameron Indoor.

oh really, so they actually don't start selling tickets to the championship until they know what schools are in it?

That's funny because in almost all my posts I buy the hook and I know you would be down money if u did

[hoyas2007]

Biff - I was at GMU-VCU yesterday. The stadium was really full. I don't know if it was max, but I remember looking into the upper decks and the only seats that were empty were at the way top in the corners.

VCU had pretty solid fan attendance against George Mason. It was a bit hard to tell because both teams have the same yellow color, so pretty much everyone was wearing yellow. But there were definitely more VCU fans than GMU. I would expect the same tonight. I would be shocked if the stadium isn't near full capacity. ODU fans will make the trip - Richmond is close to ODU and I bet a lot of ODU alums/students who are on spring break live in Richmond anyways...
