Creighton at Marquette goes to 2OT!

EDIT: Creighton wins.

Good game going on so far but just can't seem to really get into it since our Huskies are not playing today.

Or anytime soon apparently

Is there a reason you posted this? Lol... not going there.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Every time Aiken is at the line, I can't help saying in my head I ain't never missin'...

Real fun game in Newark. Props to Seton Hall for sticking in there with their depleted frontcourt.

With Jackson and Yetna fouled out, Hall now down to six healthy players eligible to play.

Or anytime soon apparently

Thanks for the reminder.

Creighton/Marquette and Nova/Hall were both fun. Can't believe Creighton pulled that Marquette win out. Hell of a shot from the Duke kid.

Providence -1 at DePaul was easy money. Providence is really good and a lot of the computer metrics haven't caught up yet.

Yeah I've won a decent chunk of change on them so far this year.

Nice. I won on the Providence/Seton Hall game and this one, so two in a row. Definitely gonna check out the next line. Assuming Vegas will adjust at some point soon. They're still at 41 on Kenpom right now which is insane when you look at what they've done this year.

But that’s what is awful about this Covid situation. Seton Hall played both the Friars and Nova with a depleted front court. We will probably get them full roster. It’s screwed up now that’s the reality.

Cannot believe that spread. Easiest money all year

Gonna ride Providence, got them -1.5 earlier this morning. Would be five straight losses for Marquette. They've played some tough teams over that stretch though, good guys included.

 

[shizzle787]

I’ve got Seton Hall and Marquette tonight.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Its hard to pick against Providence but I think Shaka is due for another upset win at home. Lets go with the Warriors!!!

Seton Hall end their losing streak tonight

 

[Dogman69]

It'd be foolish to take anything other than Providence -2.
I also think Seton Hall bounces back tonight and covers. Butler just isn't that good.

 

[BGesus4]

Friars gonna friar

 

[awfuldan]

Friars gonna friar

:-(

This is what I get for betting on a team I don't like.

 

[AntG168]

Providence lmao

 

[Dogman69]

Friars with a power conference matchup against a team at full strength. Hmm…

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Huge upset for Marquette. Keeps their NCAA hopes alive now.

Was it an upset? MU was a 1 point favorite.

According to your own post they were a two point underdog! Unless the line moved that much?

Can't say I have any interest in betting on either of the games tonight. Really don't know what to make of either DePaul or St. John's.

Certainly would not be surprised if Nova crushes Creigton in a revenge game, but not something I'm looking to bet on.
