So let's talk Iona -8.5 @ Marist

James Marques · 02-20-15 12:12 PM

By all accounts this should be an easy cover for Iona, except for Isaiah Williams being out with his foot injury. However, I still think the books have over-adjusted to his being out. Let's call a spade a spade: Marist sucks. They are 2-7 at home (and 0-5 ATS as a home dog, if you're into that sort of thing). Iona is 9-6 on the road, and I believe 7-2 ATS as a road favorite. They looked ugly the first couple of games adjusting to Williams' absence, but now seem to have things figured out. I hate laying points on the road in college basketball, but it looks like the only bettable game to me. Thoughts? If I had to guess, 80 - 67 Iona.

mcdonae101 · 02-20-15 12:42 PM

its the only game I'm betting, hit UC Davis big last night. Idk why, but been betting a lot of road teams lately

Jayvegas420 · 02-20-15 12:48 PM

Is it just me or have the books been over adjusting Marist lines all year?

Urbanwildlife · 02-20-15 01:16 PM

I am playing Iona at -9. I know the line has dropped to -8.5. Not sure how Marist stays in this game, but these types of games have came back to bite me in the asss more than once.

Well, I went to Rider which is in the MAAC and still watch most of the MAAC games to date (mostly Rider and Iona). Iona routed Marist at home in the first go around and with Iona only up by 2 games ahead of Rider in the MAAC, Iona needs to win out a tough final stretch of the season. So I expect nothing short of a blow out once again. Iona has 3 guys that can go off for 40 points on any night, dead locked on Iona to cover.

Marist basketball is hosting two big home games Friday night
both are televised on ESPNU 5pm Women 9pm Men
you have to think this is a big deal for the Red Foxes.

James Marques · 02-20-15 01:39 PM

You're right Bear, we should just stick to the huge market games. You know, the ones everyone has a bet down on. Or better yet, just blindly fade some mythical public number.

YEs.

AJ english (Iona). One of country's top players.

Iona is in New York.

Iona is 21-6 and will most likely be in the NCAA tourney.

Any other questions fukkboy?

Just cause your dumbass doesnt know anything outside of what ESPN reports on, doesnt mean everyone else is fukkin clueless too.

Just a word of caution... Marist does have an ugly record, but they played a good chunk of the season shorthanded; key players missed considerable time... They been healthy their past nine games or so, and have actually been pretty competitive since then.

Their season-long stats and trends should be taken with a grain of salt IMO.

A shitty team is still a shitty team. Iona takes mercy on no one, and they're sure as hell not going to look like chumps on an ESPN broadcasted game.

That is helpful, thank you.

Ive watched plenty of highlights buddy.

You clearly dont know shit about ncaa hoops if you dont know who AJ english is.

Go play elsewhere BB.

Snowball · 02-20-15 02:00 PM

Iona was at home and Casimir went 9/14 on 3P's that last game vs Marist
who also turned the ball over a lot and shot 39% .
I am only taking the women 5pm with Wisc-GB ml and i did tease up the men

just don't be cocky you know how laying 8.5 on the road works in college basketball
it's not like Marist doesn't have athletic black guys on their team.. they do as a matter
of fact one is likely to become the all time Marist scorer (he is 90 pts shy)
the basketball bettors graveyard is full of skeletons who laid points on the road
on friday night.

James Marques · 02-20-15 02:04 PM

I doubt anyone is dropping bombs on this bet, laying points on the road and all. But I think it's worth a $50.

Big Bear · 02-20-15 02:07 PM

sounds like all of SBR is in agreement to lay the points on the road...

guess i will take Marist

Snowball · 02-20-15 02:07 PM

better off putting 20 bucks on Marist ML and getting loaded.

I love how you come into the thread talking about darts, and now you'll blindly bet the other way. Classic. I hope you hit it, I really do.

typical bear being an idiot

Godsmack · 02-20-15 02:27 PM

Marist +4.5 1st half......Marist +9 FG

Ghenghis Kahn · 02-20-15 03:33 PM

considering this is a lone friday late game, i'd go with the home team plus the points.

James Marques · 02-20-15 04:02 PM

Nm.

Jayvegas420 · 02-20-15 04:45 PM

zephyr · 02-20-15 05:20 PM

jjgold · 02-20-15 05:23 PM

Jayvegas420 · 02-20-15 05:44 PM

James Marques · 02-20-15 10:01 PM

Missing free throws.... that sucks

mcdonae101 · 02-20-15 10:02 PM

I'm just hoping the money line cashes now, nothing worst than missing this many late game free throws
