Here We Go: $6000 Bet On Louisville +5 -120 Thursday Night

[t-wizzle]

It was both.

You are the one who said Louisville is hot and brought up everyone sucking Izzo off. Again, is that your reasoning for taking/considering Louisville here?

Yes they are two reasons. Louisville is arguably a team with the most momentum in the country given their Big East tourney run and two wins so far. From a basketball standpoint, I expect them to try and pressure MSU in the backcourt and honestly I think they should try and full court press from time to time but not all game. They have a good balance inside and outside but they are a tough team to play because of their scrapiness and ability to dictate the flow of a game. Like I said earlier a helter skelter game would be perfect for Louisville.

As far as Izzo goes, most people think he is a lock for another Final Four. I picked MSU in my bracket to make it that far because I thought they were the safest bet in that region but the truth is that sports rarely plays out like you expect it to and I think this is setting up perfectly for the Spartans to get knocked out. Also, keep in mind how many times Michigan State has made the Final Four as an underdog i.e. lower seed. This year they are a #1 and everyone is expecting them to advance to Louisiana.

Do you really think laying 5 to a hot Cardinals team is the play here? It's Louisville or nothing.

That's what I've said the whole time. I'm just wondering why Louisville is considered a strong play by anyone. Game looks like a total toss-up to me, and you know I for one am never going to lay the points in a situation like this.

As for MSU's history of being a No. 1 seed under Izzo, might want to look that up.

Umm, no.

The spread has mattered in like only 8 of 52 games. Quick scan.


Games go like this. Ville down by 3 with less than a minute, shoots and misses, foul, FT's, down by 5 now, few seconds left, shoots, misses again, foul. One free throw made, one missed, game over. They lose by 6.

[meader99]

Sure seems like the books are begging you to take Louisville. MSU was a 7.5 point favorite against St. Louis and they are giving the Big East tourney champ 5??? MSU it is.

Fukkin nervous now..I am too old for this shit

[BIGDAY]

This better hit goldie locks.

[meader99]

I don't remember many times in the past under Izzo that MSU has run and lost, but I could be mistaken.

I know this much: he's a better big-game coach than Pitino. I doubt you're going to "dupe" him.

Izzo made the foolish attempt of trying to run with UNC in the Title game a few years back. Didn't turn out so well......Of course this Louisville team isn't close to what UNC was either.

If this play doesn't hit i'm showing up at JJ's door with 2 shotguns, 6 grenades, 15 landmines, and 20 sticks of dynamite.. I'm serious too

[sweethook]

id say your 51-53% to win here jj , good side to make a early call on. but odds on ml looks better ,gl man

1. Star player terrence williams basically quit in 09 and the foreign guy for msu went off

2. Diengs length will really bother the thicker less athletic post players for msu.

3. Chane behanan is a man child inside at 6'6 and close to 250 pounds. Msu wont bully him around inside

Yeah, Adreian Payne is very unathletic.

[TPowell]

Yeah, Adreian Payne is very unathletic.

He is the only exception but even he will struggle with diengs length. Id still put payne behind dieng athletically. Rick pitino is one of the best coaches in thr country as an underdog. He is a master motivator

And Izzo is one of the best coaches in the country as a favorite in the tournament.

He is the "only exception"? Who else is there? They only have Nix and Payne.

Another biased Louisville fan flooding this thread.

[TPowell]

Just here to tell you that the roles are reversed. Pitino is a great coach as the dog, while izzo is also better as a coach when hes the dog. No doubt izzo is the best coach left but hes not superman. He admitted majerus outcoached him and it was obvious.

MSU is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as faves under Izzo in the NCAA Tournament. MSU is 3-for-3 as No. 1 seeded regional champions in the NCAA Tournament under Izzo.

Thats great and all but look up rick pitinos su and ats records in the sweet 16 when he has a week to prepare

I doubt he was an underdog very often -- if ever -- in those games.

[TPowell]

1 point to u dub in 05. He was the dog in games with providence i know for sure. We were short faves against tenny in 08 i remember like 2 or so?

He would have coached one Sweet 16 game at Providence -- 25 years ago.

[TPowell]

Hes 9-0. 3 from ul, 1 from prov, 5 from uk? I thought he took boston u there but doesnt add up right

So he's been an underdog seed-wise twice in those nine games, and once the spread was +1?

[Louisvillekid1]

I just can't wait for this game to tip....

Enough discussion...

No proof but your wrong i think he was a dog another time or 2

[No coincidences]

Well it definitely wouldn't have been in 1993, '95, '96 or '97.

We agree he was in '87, and you're saying they were +1 in '05.

That leaves '92, '08 and '09 -- and I know they weren't in '09, because they were a top seed. So '92 or '08?
