    MARQUETTE is the best 2nd half team in the ncaa
    that makes 7 STRAIGHT 2nd half covers for marquette and none of them have even been close

    unbelievable stuff

    down 30-12 on the road at villanova

    fun to watch

    here's a breakdown of 2nd half big east scores for marquette
    41-40 over villanova
    27-44 at georgetown (rare flip-flop where marq blew 17 pt lead)
    47-36 at syracuse
    52-32 vs st johns
    38-28 vs pitt
    40-33 vs louisville
    40-32 at providence
    34-26 vs south florida
    46-32 at villanova

    love marq, but had nova today +3.5

    Is Gardner tore his acl, that really going to hurt them in the half court down the stretch...

    hope he is ok

      gardner is ok he was walking fine after the game

      tough loss on the hook there, i saw your other thread

      i waited and took marquette 2nd half -5 (so +5 for the game), they play like such crap in the 1st half so often that i knew i'd be better off waiting

                Two teams going in different directions, Seton Hall dropped 3 straight @ Nova, @ USF, and vs ND (in ugly fashion)

                Our Big men should be able to neutralize herb pope if they stay out of foul trouble. FuQuan Edwin will be the x factor, for the pirates that kid is deadly...

                However I took Louisville +115 they are starting to heat up.

                Of course Im naturally biased tho...

                    I would rather be the best first and second half team.

                      and who would that be? please find me another team that has covered the last 7 first OR second halves, let alone both...

                      just being a great team doesn't make you easy money like marquette does, so far let's check what has happened today with the "top teams"
                      #2 missouri - DIDN'T COVER
                      #3 syracuse - DIDN'T COVER
                      #6 baylor - DIDN'T COVER
                      #8 duke - DIDN'T COVER
                      #5 kansas - about to lose outright and certainly WON'T COVER

                      so if you like to bet on the "best first and second half team" be my guest - you would be 0-5 so far today betting on the top 10 teams that have already played.

                        Buzz really develops talent that other teams seem to have over looked in recruiting and makes them very solid over the course of 4-5 years, and they buy into the program

                          Marquette is excellent. so is Akron. hope that Akron is down at half tonight at CMU.

                          Purdue sucks 2H, except when i back the Mildcats.

                                and marquette covers another 2nd half with ease

                                8 STRAIGHT AND COUNTING

                                  I got a $1 bet on Marquette to win the National Championship at 80-1 and 10 SBR points on them to win it all at 100-1... wishing I had put more on it now.

                                        sprained knee that could take a week or two for a guy as big and seemingly out of shape as gardner

                                          and after the notre dame game (where opponent first half/marquette 2nd half only got a push) it's back to win-win

                                          de paul won 1st half outright, covering easily
                                          marquette dominated 2nd half and covered easily

                                          that makes 9-1 marquette 2nd half last 10 games and 4 straight opponent covers in the 1st half

                                              this is true

                                              i think some of these guys are on the take for 1st half lines, or they're just sandbagging

                                              either way it's a money maker

                                                Thanks mike. I saw Marquette down at HT and remembered seeing your thread last week so I jump on them 2-h. Money in the bank! Also parlayed both Texas/Marquette with the overs in the 2h last night. Unfortunately two outta four pushed!

                                                    either way it's a money maker
                                                    yea I had Marq -10 yesterday although line dropped to -9.5

                                                    That entire 1st half DePaul was throw in up 3's and making them. Thought i was buried with 2 mins left in 1st then marq makes nice run and ends up behind down only 3 at half. Line was -7.5 at half pounded that bitch and won both bets.

                                                      thing that stuck out to me in the 1st half was marquette let de paul get a quick 8-0 run on nothing but offensive rebounds, fast breaks, and layups.
                                                      that NEVER happens against a team like depaul when marquette is playing hard.

                                                      nice work guys

                                                      "gold out" here in milwaukee on saturday, cincinnati will have a huge advantage inside if gardner isn't back. but i think the same strategy will be in play again. either go cincy 1st half or pass, either take marquette 2nd half or pass.
                                                      no reason to take marquette for the game, we all know if they cover the game it's probably because of the 2nd half at this point.
                                                      things could change but for now the trend is your friend. if it appears marquette is going to play hard in 1st halves then the party will be over, but for now i really think these guys are getting down on purpose.

                                                          so because you picked the only one out of 10 that marquette didn't cover the 2nd half that makes it a bad decision

                                                            and another easy 2nd half cover for marquette
                                                            can't believe they were only a pick em for how good marquette is in the 2nd half, won/covered by 5

                                                            that makes 10-1 marquette 2nd half in the last 11

                                                              If they trail at half in a game where they were favored, they are an AUTOMATIC big 2nd half play. Buzz Williams is the master of the halftime "chat".
