UConn -11.5 vs. St Johns

[JustbrewitMan]

On paper and the eye test both say we win this game, but WOOF that's a big line.

 

[Huskyhoops25]

If I were a betting man, I’d take St.John’s with the points. However we
ARE due for a blowout and Gampel should be hopping tonight.

That's an uncomfortably big line, but isn't far off from KenPom (-11) and BartTorvik (-9.6). With St John's defense though I'd expect a closer game

 

[Dogman69]

We SHOULD blow them out. If we score the ball the way we did last Saturday we cover.

Little to no students?

If this was at XL I would be all over St Johns with points. At Gampel Id leave it alone. We just seem to shoot better there. No stats to back it up, just my personal eye test over the last few years.

As someone who has successfully hit a three on the Gampel court for one of those time out games, I concur.

 

[gtcam]

Thats a whole slew of points to be giving
Trying to understand why the spread is so large
Wouldn't touch it either way
Let's just make sure UConn comes out on top - please

Gaffney should have a great game today...

I did the free throw contest at XL years ago. It felt like I was trying to pitch a dime into a coke bottle at a carnival.

I'll believe this when I see it.

I wish I had your confidence

He plays well v. poor competition

Gaffney is the reason everyone should load up on the 11.5. He can't handle pressure and SJU brings lots of it.

Haha, don't get me wrong I think that we should have a better backup guard but Gaffney typically plays well v. poor competition.

I believe they were supposed to return this weekend, but the delay of two weeks may mean Gampel is not quite rocking in the free world.

He does play well against poor competition - Coppin St, CCSU. St John's is not poor competition

 

[BigFanCT]

Are students going to be at the game tonight?

Unfortunately the game is tonight

A line of 11.5 is poor competition...

Return to campus was delayed so the casuals will probably not be in attendance

Who is he guarding?

 

[storrsroars]

A line of 11.5 is poor competition...

That may be true in bettor's minds, but I think both Posh and Addae-Wusu are better guards. They ate up Adams and Gaff last time out.

That's fair.

Why do they schedule games every season at Gampel during winter break? It is a disservice to the students.
