Anatomy of the Perfect Storm on Campus

[Clem D]

I have to bide my time until they hang a number on A Wednesday tilt I have been waiting fo,r for some time. This is a rare time where I will playing a side considerably heavy even if the "number" doesn't fall exactly where I hope. Several Factors have me ready to pound this team.
Factor 1

Teams are natural recruiting rivals, with team (a) looking to keep team (b) down in this battle.

Factor 2

Team (a) has a coach who will not let up on (B) because of a silly little feud between the coaches.

Factor 3

Team B is not a good team yet they have won two huge games in a row which Im hoping the oddsmakers will look kindly upon and tilt the line in my direction.

Factor 4
Huge talent edges at guard and frontcourt. My preaseason power numbers show team A with a 16.5 edge in this "tilt"

With all of the extenuating circumstances i'd lay 28


First Person to guess the team I will be pounding on Wednesday will win their choice of a free can of soup or bar of their favorite soap.

Good luck Clem .... just to clarify 1 of your reasons for this play (Factor 2), are you saying Jim Calhoun & Norm Roberts have some kind of bad blood?? Roberts came to StJohn's from KU coach Bill Self's staff and I wasn't aware of feud between those two .... anyway lets go Huskies tomorrow night!!

 

[Clem D]

It all started this year when Calhoun stole a player and then laughed at Roberts, and then add in a little gamesmanship that Calhoun plyed on roberts. Roberts basically cried about it. Rumor has it calhoun really wants to give him something to cry about.

that line has got to go down.

 

[Clem D]

Line dropped to 15.. I jumped to early. I still think Uconn covers the 16. Im not going to chase the point though. Good luck.
