USF could be a solid ML play vs. Temple

Louisvillekid1 · 03-14-12, 10:23 PM

Have them picked over temple in my bracket

LT Profits · 03-14-12, 10:24 PM

Yep I agree

TPowell · 03-15-12, 12:04 AM

Theyll be around 5 point dogs i would think. Thats just me quoting sagarin without it in front of me tho

PickWinnerAllDay · 03-15-12, 12:06 AM

Disagree on a 5 point spread.

I'd guess Temple -2.5

TPowell · 03-15-12, 12:09 AM

Im thinking 4 minimum. Thats a huge overreaction imo

SASH · 03-15-12, 12:10 AM

i have em over temple in my bracket, so i should throw some dough on them depending on the line

HoulihansTX · 03-15-12, 12:10 AM

Would not bet against USF.

Overreaction? Nah... defense wins in the tournament. We'll see what it opens at... If it opens at 4 it'll go down.

Cant agree enough but you still have to use the power ratings which arent high on usf. They match up well with temple too

Speaking of weird lines, why is Marquette only -5.5? Was thinking 8.

Byu is a computer darling. Im not sold on them but rose is a great coach so im not gonna call them a fraud

LT Profits · 03-15-12, 08:48 AM

I'd guess Temple -3 or -3.5

EaglesPhan36 · 03-15-12, 08:56 AM

I had whomever emerged from last night to win against Temple. Owls don't play defense.

Same here, I waited til last night to fill my bracket out just to make sure they won but I should have known it wasnt even going to be a sweat since the PAC 12 is that bad.

k13 · 03-15-12, 10:30 AM

-1.5

Everyone wrong.

PorkChop · 03-15-12, 10:56 AM

Agreed. Was temped to move South Florida over Michigan in next round too..

isotopes · 03-15-12, 10:58 AM

I think temple is the most overrated #5 seed in a while, shocked they were seated so high. A real slap in the face to all Florida Gator fans around the country. USF should roll.

It moved to 2.5 and heading to 3

TPowell · 03-15-12, 03:02 PM

complete misquote on my part. Sagarin says 2. Thought they were higher on Temple. I'd lean towards Temple though. Temple has struggled the past few years, think they come out super focused and win a game AND then not show up in the next game. Tough to bet against USF though

im a pussy and took the points....but congrats the same

couldnt believe, after the way they played in the first half, they were only down 19-15.....i was shocked really

then they came out great in the 2nd half...and i almost shit my pants when temple went 11-0 run...changed the channel.....checked the score ....looks like they fended temple off pretty good...i just couldnt handle to watch...had purdue tonight and colorado last night....too many nerves....although ive had some nice easy winners with nc st and florida.....down a couple bucks in the tourney so far but with an above .500 record....

Florida being at -3, i think thats what it was, was an absolute gift.

ya uva came out real strong in the first few minutes....then it was all gators.....just dont think that team has enough depth...especially down low...erik murphy is a bench guy imo.....i like young, beal, boynton, and walker though.....uva isnt a team that boynton and walker could really get off against....but if those two get hot....watch out
