    Good luck bro. Hopefully that Red headed 7 footer will be hitting 3's like he did vs Ohio State.

    I think this game will be close just b/c Wisconsin plays such a boring brand of b-ball.

    line down to 4.5 and betting big with a key player listed as "questionable" sure seems risky

    No awful teams have 30 wins I'm sorry.atoryif this were at the Kohl center it would be a different story and u could almost bank on them winning but They rely far too heavily on leur and Taylor hitting jumpers to risk your whole bank account. .. actually I don't care if the heat were playing the school of the blind u don't go all in

    Wisconsin shoots terribly on the road, and while their offense is good their defense always gets exposed when they aren't benefiting from biased officiating. I mean really, do you expect me to believe that a team comprised of big slow white dudes is that good at defending without fouling? That all being said Belmont loves to press and play uptempo and Wisconsin's offense is good at not committing turnovers so we could see a lot of Jordan Taylor breaking the press and finding Leuer down low for uncontested layups. Wisconsin just never seems to do well in the tournament.

    The badgers make a living off almost losing or losing in the first 2 rounds to mediocre teams. However, I think the fact that everyone has written this game up as an upset already, and Gottlieb straight up picking Belmot to win on national TV, motivates Wisconsin and they look strong.

    Belmonts defensive points per possession allowed is .88 = the lowest of any team in division 1

    out of all games you pick that one. Wisky has been struggling lately man. If this game was in there building, ok no problem but I think this game will be close. I hope you didnt punch that ticket yet. Why not take Old Dominion minus the points.

    I took em -4 but I sure as heck wouldn't put my entire anything on it. My line is -6. I see some value here, but don't get carried away.

    Pomeroy has Belmont ranked with the 19th best chance to win the tournament, with a 39% chance of beating Wisconsin. Even though he says not to put too much stock into the Belmont and Utah State ratings, he probably has Belmont ranked that high for a reason. The guy knows what he's talking about. Regardless of the outcome, I hope you learn to properly manage your bankroll. Best of luck with your bet.

    39% implied a fair ML around +-157. A bit lower than the current median around +-190, but not terribly so. I don't quite agree. I think they have more like a 31% chance.

    Belmont plays in a small conference, but a lot of their wins are blowouts. They are a very solid team. I think Wisky should cover the -5 though. It kinda scares me that they only scored 33 points in their last game, but hopefully that was just a 1 game problem. I wouldn't go all in on it tho.

    I think you are under estimating this Belmont team my friend. They can score, they force turnovers and they have a deep bench. Not the game I would risk a high amount of money on the favorite. If Wisconsin can take care of the ball and force that slow paced game they should win but if Belmont can get turnovers, which they can, and up the pace of this game then Wisconsin is in some trouble. BOL on your play though.

    I think the OP is right, even though I'm not putting my whole roll on it. Belmont just hasn't played good teams. Wisky is use to the pressure and the big lights. They will ROLL.

    not so fast, belmont is a one of the teams I put into a sleeper category.Over the years teams that dominate their league handily with avg margin of victory normally in double digits are extremely dangerous in the ncaa tourney. Siena, Davidson, Murray st., cornell just to name a few of the killers in the past. Wisconsin just does not stand out in any way, they like to run a lot of ball screens on offense but belmont is terrific on the defensive end collectively as a group and will limit wisconsins opportunity for getting good looks. Look for a balanced effort to lead the way to a belmont squad that has ripped competition in their league and become the next in line of giant killers. Many forget belmont almost shocked the blue devils few yrs ago in a game that went down to the last shot. This is a solid program and they will not be intimidated at all having won at tennessee earlier in the yr.
