UCONN to win East +100, need thoughts

[cburland10]

Thinking about laying an irresponsible amount of money on this. Obviously Auburn and Iowa state are the two threats, but I assume Vegas would have the huskies as at least a 5 point favorite in these matchups. But I don’t know a ton about CBB. Calling on the college guys to provide some insight here. Thnx all

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I don't want to chime in with an opinion. I don't know the fair line.

That said: *Are you catching +EV?
...UConn truly the buzz-word now. Defending champs and a 1-seed.
...Are they as hungry as last year?
...So many good teams now. Hard to say.

...Are they as hungry as last year?

Hungrier.

KP has Auburn ranked #4 overall, even ahead of Iowa State (#5)

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Put it this way:

*If you want to bet 100 BetPts versus me, I'd take Field +100 (vs UConn).

...Too many good teams in NCAA this year. I'll go anti-the team with the Crown.

It's like splitting the atom, I have Iowa State ranked 4a, and Auburn ranked 4b.

And Chucky is correct, there is no value in Connecticut at +380 right now.
And by now y'all should know I bleed Husky blue, but that bracket is beyond brutal.
ISU, Auburn, Illinois, and you just know SDSU wants a big part of our ass.

I think Houston can sleepwalk through the South, I've seen Marquette play like fourteen times this season, they can't hang with Houston.

UNC, Alabama, Arizona, and even St. Mary's can win the West.
I wouldn't want to face the Gaels right now, they are wicked hot coming into this mess.
(Sleeper pick in that region is Nevada)

I think Tennessee comes out of the Midwest, as much as I despise Creighton, you have no idea how much I can't stomach them, they can do some serious damage.

I have zero confidence in Purdue.

Nevada got a bad seed

What would you expect the line to be vs Auburn/Iowa State? -4 UCONN?

[asiagambler]

lol committee is funny, they gave UConn the #1 overall seed but then gave them the toughest bracket

Is not worth the stretch. If in your boots would hold off. GL.

UConn has the toughest draw of all the number one seeds.

[TheGoldenGoose]

UCONN most definitely caught the toughest draw. But you have to look at it this way… they are going to play some great teams like Auburn or Iowa State anyway so might as well TCB sooner than later. I’ve got a $200 ticket at +500 and feel VG about my chances they repeat. To answer the OP question I think +100 to win the East is reasonable and a -5 or -6 line against an Auburn or Iowa State is spot on. By all means… SEND IT IN!

[johnnyvegas13]

UConn is super deep

but there best player is cam Spencer …

With Alabama's 23948th ranked defence, they can win anything, sure, but the chance of them going fishing early is much higher than someone like Uconn, UNC or even Purdue.

[Igor_1965]

Arizona vs North Carolina

Makes sense to me. Just like UConn to win it all, not just the region

[TheGoldenGoose]

Some other thoughts about UCONN…
Clingan the sophomore Center is a beast at 7’ 2” 280lbs so going inside is not the way to beat this team. You can rain 3 pointers down and/or play the old “Hack a Shaq” defense because Clingan is a s#itty free throw shooter. Barring any serious injuries I still think UCONN is unstoppable.

You don't watch much UConn hoops, do you?
Newton is one of the best players in the nation and is a guaranteed first round lottery pick.

What Spencer provides you can't teach though.
Heart and soul.

Every point you make is spot on.
My point is with all that talent in that bracket, the field is loaded with land mines,
Six weeks ago, I bought me some UConn at Heritage at +600, I thought there was value there, still do, but not at +360.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

If any SBR Pro likes UConn that much, send me an offer:

*I like Field (+100) vs UConn (in the East).
...I'll Risk/Pay 100 pts to anyone.

Honestly, I haven't even looked at the odds. Feel like UConn is too white-hot right now. Give me the anti-UConn angle.

Chucky: You’ve got mail.

[MalikHusam]

+100 no good

ROLLING PARLAY bro

i should have never posted in here. you stupid idiots tried throwing around teams like auburn as a reason to not make this bet.. it was free money and now the value is gone

Hey, don't include me on your "stupid idiots" list because I mentioned Auburn and Iowa State. In my first post I said, "SEND IT IN". In my second post I said, "UCONN is unstoppable".

You couldn't pull the trigger and now everybody else is an idiot???

[EasyCover]

If we could bet with hindsight, there would be no betting.

Nothing free about it. I'm not exactly counting my winnings just yet assuming SC at -650 is a given. The value might be gone but it was always Iowa St ruining this not Auburn (who avoided the top 3 teams in the SEC to win the conf. tourney)
