Cuse will prob open -1

 

[IrishLax]

Cuse might be a heavier favorite than anticipated because of how poor the Johnies looked yesterday. Regardless of what the odds come out as I'm taking the moneyline on Cuse because I want to be able to root against St. Johns.

You thinking like -3 or 4?

I'm thinking something in the -2.5 range.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

ok, they are posted. this opened at 2 is already at 2.5.

Am I good or am I good?

Going to try to get back on the horse with 2mil on 'Cuse. With the miss on USF +10.5 (thanks for getting injured starting point guard) my Champ Week record drops to 5 for 7.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Haha, Spot on. I took Cuse. Rick Jackson and Scoop are going to do work for being snubbed. I bet Boaheim was just spouting off to motivate his team. Let me know your UCONN O/U pick. I need to make up for the loss I am going to take for picking UCONN.

 

[Veer option]

tough call on the O/U

 

[Ironman8]

I'm thinking the under. Both schools play tough D, and outside shooting to break the 2-3 isn't the Johnnies strong suit.

 

[Veer option]

That is certainly information to chew on.

 

[KPENN]

Nothing like VGambling on lunch break. Put some money on the johnies just cause of my hatred for cuse

 

[dshans]

As an Irishman I'm not fond of anything "Orange," so I had to go with St. John's.

 

[Ironman8]

Here we go!!!

 

[Veer option]

I love college bball during tournament season.

 

[Ironman8]

Garden is alive for this one. Probably still real pumped from the UConn end as well.

 

[Ironman8]

Fab Melo is a BEAST inside, on both ends of the court. I just don't see how the Johnnies will score enough to win this game.

 

[Veer option]

Unless he gets into foul trouble

 

[Ironman8]

If Kennedy can't come back, they are pretty screwed.

 

[Ironman8]

Johnnies making a bit of a run with Melo on the bench.

 

[Veer option]

Certainly making it a tough one for the Orange.

 

[Ironman8]

I love the Big East tourney.

 

[IrishLax]

Syracuse is playing like a bunch of idiots. If they weren't so careless this game would be a blowout right now.

Agreed. Just not taking care of the basketball.

 

[Veer option]

Ugly so far. The Orange need to step it up.

 

[Ironman8]

Ugly so far. The Orange need to step it up.

Scoop Jardine and Rick Jackson specifically need to bring it after halftime.

 

[Ironman8]

This has turned into another great game.

 

[IrishLax]

Make it 7 for 9 on Champ Week bets.

 

[dshans]

Dang! Grumble in my intestinal jungle let me down.

It should have been Rutgers against Syracuse anyway.
