Idk it’s about what I expected... south bend still a tough place to play but I think unc pulls it off, such a mismatch in guardplay.

**krk1030** · 01-13-18, 12:09 PM

nick ward gets fouled 5 times every possession and they dont call it.

ncaa hates low post scoring

**Louisvillekid1** · 01-13-18, 12:14 PM

Gl today dom

**KRIT** · 01-13-18, 02:04 PM

Books knew Minnesota was going down with that line.

**KRIT** · 01-13-18, 02:16 PM

Izzo had zero answer for Michigan on the defense. Beilien is a really underrated coach, i've always thought of him as one of the best. Izzo should have stuck with Schilling as he could actually guard Wagner. Ward was awful all game.

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-13-18, 02:23 PM

Izzo’s a loser. What a bum.

**GPrime19** · 01-13-18, 02:34 PM

You guys beat me to it, Izzo was totally out coached today. Recruiting only goes so far.

Sarcasm? Izzo is a legend but thought he got out coached today.

Beilein and Pitino both my favs, well Pitino's gone, wish the kid would come back.

Pitino is one of my favorites too, his younger brother not so much lol. Richard Pitino probably deserves to be fired, he has a top 25 roster and they look like a bubble team.

Michigan State is the most overrated team in the country

Would love to know the ATS of KU and MSU combined the past few weeks. Books haven't adjusted to their recent struggles.

Dead serious. Wasted talent is one of the worst things in the world, and Izzo is squandering this immense talent on our roster. Probably the most talented team in the nation, but one of the worst coached teams. At OSU he subbed in 3 bench players 3 mins into the game. Against Oakland it was within 5 point game all of 1st half and we were 12 deep already. Izzo constantly goes 11 or 12 deep while other top teams like Villanova Duke Kansas etc all play 7 or 8 deep in meaningful games. In the Duke game, Izzo literally gave up down 7 with 30 seconds left. That is loser mentality, not even trying the foul game to extend and give us a shot to win.

Wake up call. The days of Izzo overachieving with lesser talent are over. We have the best starting 5 in the nation. 3 McDonalds All Americans. 2 projected NBA lottery picks, including the preseasons national POY. Izzo needs to step up and let the talent win, and stop over coaching and playing double-digit deep.

**KRIT** · 01-13-18, 03:31 PM

I agree that he needs to shorten his bench. I don't care how deep you are, you should never have to go more than 9 or 10 deep. Going deep just takes away rhythm and talent from the better guys. Big time log jam up front with Ward, Jackson, Goins, Schilling and Tillman.

I've always said this, but sometimes being too deep and talented can work against you.

**krk1030** · 01-13-18, 06:04 PM

kentuky 2 of the worst play you will see all year in the span of 4 seconds.

bailed out by the vandy kid pissing his pants at the foul line

**A301** · 01-13-18, 07:59 PM

You got disciplined for a while, but these huge Saturday cards are going to keep you spinning your wheels.

Yes, probably played a couple plays today I shouldn’t have. Should’ve went higher on Xavier, obviously liked it enough to lock in overnight (rare move for me). But don’t forget I went 9-0 last Saturday, so big cards aren’t always a bad thing.

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-14-18, 12:07 AM

Ugh make a FT and I have a winning day... 5-5-1 day, eww.

**WilsonKingOfSB** · 01-14-18, 12:15 AM

Awful reffing at the end of the Boise game too

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-14-18, 01:40 PM

Canisius -4 vs. Monmouth

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-15-18, 02:12 PM

Afternoon degen action play

UMass Lowell +1.5 vs. New Hampshire

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-15-18, 02:15 PM

Providence +2 vs. Butler
Miami +4.5 vs. Duke
Kansas ML +225 @ West Virginia

**KRIT** · 01-15-18, 02:18 PM

Kansas ML I see, would like to hear you thoughts.

**Louisvillekid1** · 01-15-18, 03:09 PM

Gl except for KU

Jayhawks lost last 3 in the backwoods state I believe but now they’re finally playing as the big underdog. I think they’ll have that underdog mentality here and play with nothing to lose - if they get hot from 3 they got a shot to win it. Yes west va could possibly win by dd, KU short bench vs the press and all that, but Kansas will get to the line more than usual since WVU fouls a lot and those FTs they never get could give them a boost. Basically I think +225 is good value since I give them more than a 30.8% shot to win SU. I’d give KU closer to a 40% chance to win meaning implied odds of +150.

This is what happens with buzzed betting mid afternoon games for the sake of action. Hope you all learned a lesson lol

UH had the tougher schedule and played tough against the bigs. Not sure why the line was only -1.5. Complete head scratcher!

**teecee** · 01-15-18, 04:44 PM

But somehow Lowell has a better RPI.

**krk1030** · 01-15-18, 10:58 PM
