Minny -17.5

Seems like a large # but Hoosiers have suspended Dumes, leading scorer and basically their whole offense. Gophers are tough and at home of course are tougher. Would not be surprised if this theory bites me in the ass and Indiana keeps it close, but I like the Gophers here and think Hoosiers will have some real problems. Dumes was one of 2 Hoosiers who are any sort of threat from outside. Hoosiers are terrible handling the ball as well and commit a very high # of turnovers.



looking at 1 or maybe 2 more but going to jump on this # now.

Hey airportis, when one team is crippled like Indiana is, could that make the under a play? Vegas don't adjust the line more than a couple of points usually. Then add in the fact that if the game goes as expected there won't be a billion fouls and miracle 3's in the last 3 minutes...


Or is the suspension angle not that big a deal?

Just thinking out loud...

No reason minn shouldnt win by atleast 20 ..just my opinion...like the play air....good luck

 

[airportis]

Dumes scored 19 points in Hoosiers 67-63 loss at home to the Gophers on 1/25


adding a pair...


Miami OH -7.5

Redhawks play great D and have been very good ATS this year....thats pretty much the only angle im taking here.



Kentucky -4

Gators are good but I think Billy G gets his troops fired up and can't see them losing 3 in a row at Rupp.




Still looking at South Florida...do they have a let down or do thet feed off that win and beat the Friars?

Also have to take a long look at DePaul. Line opens at +2 and with nearly 75% on the Hall it drops to +1? Sure Seton Hall is far better on paper but it just seems off. Think Dar Tucker leads them to a big win tonight maybe :shrug:

The line on the DePaul game isn't off the way most people might think it is but it is off. I come up with De Paul able to give 3 and cover. Can't play it because when teams lose as many as De Paul has in a row, they find ways to lose. I'm playing Mia Ohio/under as a par.

Good luck

I know DePaul as well as anyone being a season ticket holder and watching their slide first hand. DePaul can actually match up with Hall pretty well and I was considered putting a nice chunk on the home boys tonight, but backed off. Jabari Currie is out for the season with a knee injury. He is a natural 2-guard and a senior who's been forced his whole career to play the point at DePaul.

With him out, DePaul will have to turn to two freshman PG to handle Hall's pressure, or have one of their other 2-guards play the point. Currie isn't great and if you look at his statistics its not going to wow you, but I think it really hurts them not having his senior leadership and stability out there.

DePaul can win without him, but they can also fold as this team hasn't put anything close to a full game together all season.

Is Turner healthy enough to shoulder the scoring load tonight? He had a banged up ankle last 2 games and was ineffective from long range vs PITT.

Dar Tucker is fine. He was ineffective against Pitt, but that wasn't because of his ankle. He has very poor shot selection and often tries a 'me against the world' approach to get DePaul back in the game. That and he continually is trying to prove that he has an outside shot when his best offense is attacking the basket. I personally think one of his "handlers" told him he needs to display his outside shot to help his draft stock.

Dep went to Seton Hall last year and lost by 2. Seton Hall lost both high scorers for that game Laing and Nutter. Depaul lost Burns from last years squad but he wasnt a huge factor in the game with only 9 pts. Will Walker had a big game going 5 for 5 from 3. The more I look at it, I really think DePaul ends the skid tonight and picks up conf. win #1

 

[airportis]

what the hell...going with a ballsy play here, just have to try it.


DePaul ML +105

:0corn

 

[airportis]

good god depaul sucks:142smilie

I dont think theres a reason to take them in any game where they are getting less than 5 pts!

 

[EagleGreen]

sucks isn't the right word!:scared

 

[Mr. Poon]

would you guys believe the AD isn't even going to fire their Coach? The DePaul faithful are on suicide watch.

complete 0-fer :mj07: going to dumb it down a little bit and stop trying to read too much into things, hopefully get back on track
