take marquette +12

[milwaukee mike]

this line is way off, duke should be around a 7 point favorite

[Waz]

Just curious how you arrived at 7 for this game? Duke is much better than last year and has crushed every opponent they've played. I made the line 14 on this game, so leaning to Duke.

i think they know that but they've factored in the possibility of a 10 3-pointer 30-point run for duke....they can pull away from anyone very very fast. both sides of this game are dangerous. marquette is good.

I fade homer picks...just not this one cuz I hate laying that many

I would agree Duke should be -7.5 on a neutral court for this match up. There is value in taking the points. Interesting to see how Irving runs the point tonight in his first real test against a good team.

i think someone with marquette season tickets that goes to their practices would have more knowledge on this game than someone who doesn't

i can agree that people often overstate the quality of their favorite teams, but that shouldn't completely disqualify their information and opinion

Duke is relentless

How is Marquette this year?? Any studs?

Do you goto duke's practices and games as well? otherwise, you further stated my case on being a tad bit biased.

Duke's size will create numerous match up problems. I got Duke -10 earlier, still feel good if I had to take it at 12. The win by about 17

[Balco10]

Duke only beat Princeton by 19!

[doublej95]

Duke only beat Princeton by 19!

Duke only beat Princeton by 37 would be a more correct statement

i agree "somewhat" with this statement.

but even if i only go to burger king for 25 years, i still know the quality of burger king's food this year vs last year without ever going to mcdonalds.

and i think you kind of defeat your own argument when you look at my first 2 posts. i didn't say "i went to the marquette game yesterday so i think marquette should cover +12 vs duke"

i said the line should be 7 based on the computers (not based on any personal bias i may or may not have)

Not only is this incorrect.... it means absolutely NOTHING. Syracuse only beat William & Mary by 3. Since when does past performance indicate future returns??

Is Marquette playing last years Marquette team ? or are they playing Duke ? I have no opinion on this game....just arguing for arguments sake

[milwaukee mike]

any of you guys still think duke was the play?
and that the spread should've been 14?


maybe check my record, when i make an ncaa basketball pick IT FUKKING WINS EASILY


congrats marquette backers, this team plays tougher than anyone in college hoops OR the nba
