Just a matter how they want to handle the lineups.
Should be a name your score game.
I never bet on lines for a UConn game whether it is for or against the Huskies. This is especially true for betting against the Huskies because I never want to be in a position where I am rooting against them at any moment like them missing a shot or a FT.This strikes me as an all time “meltdown in the chat” game. Cooley’s a good coach. His team is not great but they’ll be up for this one. Obviously the good guys can cover but even if I were to violate my “never bet on teams you have an emotional attachment to” rule I wouldn’t touch that number.
Team is clearly downgraded without Clingan. Shocked vegas hasn't adjusted. Cook ate us up. Plus, there is no urgency to bury a team late in BE play. It's too grueling to do so.All right, not gonna lie, I had:
- Georgetown +20.5
- UConn Under 82.5
- Georgetown Over 61.5
I thought we'd come out flat, but wasn't sure exactly how, so left a lot of possibilities.
Obviously we never came close to covering the spread.
Georgetown kept scoring in the early-mid 2nd (and went to the line a million times), so that was fairly safe without about 10 minutes to go.
Our total was close basically throughout the game, and I held my breath as Newton let fly a meaningless 3 attempt at 80-67 with 25 seconds to go.
I won all 3.
We are also a very much "take the air out of the ball" team with a 10-15 point lead late in games. Unfortunately, Draftkings turns off live totals with like 4 minutes to go, otherwise, if we're in that range, I would also live bet our Under.Team is clearly a downgrade without Clingan. Shocked vegas hasn't adjusted. Cook ate us up. Plus, there is no urgency to bury a team late in BE play. It's too grueling to do so.
Georgetown isn't awful and we haven't been blowing anyone out without Clingan. We played tough and won the game. That is all you could ask. That 20.5 spread was a joke. We would never cover that unless everyone played lights out on offense.Team is clearly downgraded without Clingan. Shocked vegas hasn't adjusted. Cook ate us up.

You wonder if they are overcompensating lines since UCONN is a public team? The line really should have been 15,16 at most.Georgetown isn't awful and we haven't been blowing anyone out without Clingan. We played tough and won the game. That is all you could ask. That 20.5 spread was a joke. We would never cover that unless everyone played lights out on offense.
I think they’ll play us tough
Ha, nothing like posting those winners after that game......All right, not gonna lie, I had:

The DePaul game was a blowout but other than that you're right. I think that's also a conference thing. There weren't too many blowouts last year in conference either. Probably only the home Butler and Georgetown games.Georgetown isn't awful and we haven't been blowing anyone out without Clingan.
