Well since I'm backing G'Town and since I don't think I'm out of my mind to be laying just 6 points at home with the Hoyas I guess it boils down to our differing view of the Hoyas - you think they're bad and I think they're every bit as good as last years version, probably better. I don't know what Georgetown is/was/will be ranked but I do know that going into the Pitt and ND games they were highly efficient on both offense and defense. Pitt absolutely manhandled them on the glass..a very good rebounding team and Blair has about as many bounds as the entire Hoya team.they can play a little soft at times...losing by 16 or so at home is hardly excusable but let's face it Pitt is probably a top 5 team in the country so it's not the absolute worst loss. Then they lost at Notre Dame, always an excusable loss and they suffered a horrific shooting day from downtown (won the battle of the boards - and the
game basically went to the wire). You say that the Memphis game wasn't a huge win but isn't Memphis one of Cuse's biggest wins of the season - a game that was an absolutely perfect matchup for them since Memphis can't shoot? Honestly, Cuse hasn't done a whole lot, they beat Kansas in a semi-home game, beat Memphis and beat a young Florida team early in the season. I like Cuse and they are extremely talented...they may cover they matchup alright with G'Town, Flynn is as good as it gets and Arinze could do some damage...but Cuse has played (to their credit beaten) literally the 4 worst teams in the Big East - now they face a big road test...bottom line is I can see having Cuse as a side and I thought the line would be closer to 4, but I don't think it's nuts to be laying the points here, Cuse still has to answer some questions.
same to you...wasn't trying to shred your pick or change your side, just throwing out why some may like G'Town...keep up the good capping man.
gimmedat, i was just warning people who are degenerate gamblers like me to not be greedy and take the first half bet of -2.5 (msu).....just stick to the game line at -5......
Guys I am going to Turning Stone (casino) in upstate NY. I want to play in a few of the tournaments they have running this week.
I am leaving at 8pm tonight and will arrive probably around midnight. I will try to check in here but I am not sure if they will have internet available (they probably do). So if I dissapear, thats where I will be.
Wish me luck, hopefull I come home with some big money in my pocket.
Also HD if you read this how far is Syracuse from Turning Stone. If I am there into Saturday I may run by and catch the Cuse ND game. I can scalp outside right?

Wow total for Duke game up to 148!!! Any info about that???
the rooms have wireless. i get comps and head out from time to time. you should be set there
Seems standard to me considering the over is always going to be hit in Duke games.
Unless it just got steamed up? I am not sure because my local had it at 147 at about 5.
I know a little late on this thread, but yeah the student section is there and pumped up. These are the losers last year that rushed the court after they beat the Sparties. MSU might have been ranked in the 20's when they beat them. So yeah they care.I agree and tomorrow when I wake up I will check with the Penn State students to see if thier is going to be a big turnout or if they really don't care.
Yes, Michigan State and any Tom Izzo team can win pretty much anywhere.
Yeah those fans are awfulpenn state students as well as locals are just still not convinced ed dechillis can coach....if anyone watched the purdue game....penn state miraculously shut down purdue for last 7 minutes of the game only to win by 3....penn state does not play good defense!!!!I know penn state basketball and i just have a feeling this game could be a blow out...the only way penn state can win is if we bring back joe and jon crispin who could shoot from half court.....im begging everyone to take michigan state....i know everyone hates the word lock but lets not kid ourselves....talor battle and stanley pringle..hahaha....Pringle got caught in the paterno library beating off....
