UConn -9.5 v. St. Johns

[HeGotGame]

Opener.

St. Johns has been playing well, I expect this to be close throughout.

 

[UofCT]

It won’t be close.

 

[Greedo]

It won’t be close.

 

[shizzle787]

Doomed!

[UCTitleTown]

Depends on if the St. John's players wake up tomorrow and realize they can't move vertically and don't belong on the team.

 

[freescooter]

It’s St John’s. They aren’t that good. It isn’t 1965. We win handily

 

[uconngb]

It won’t be close.

Totally agree

Can we get the list of 50 coaches better than Hurley?

He gives away his gameplan for tomorrow at 1:03

He gives away his gameplan for tomorrow at 1:03

He is gonna beat that "nobody believes us, we have no chance to win" drum in the players heads for 24 straight hours.

Tomorrow isn't going to be as easy as freescooter thinks.

Maybe not 50, but CBS Sports website listed 30 that they thought were better before the season started last year.

 

[Rockford]

Any ideas for tickets? looking for 4 decent ...too high now online...wait?

KenPom line is 7. It's wild how much Vegas is shading towards us. 3.5 points is massive, especially since it's a "road game" or semi-road as KenPom has it. And it has not been enough. Not near enough.

Vegas has no idea how to deal with the fact that we can beat anybody by 30. Our margin has an extremely long tail. It's pulling the spread higher but I don't think that's the answer. The answer is just to have lower odds on the alternative spreads, but I haven't looked closely enough to see if that's the case.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Need a quick start tomorrow. Can't let them get confidence. Make free throws and don't miss bunnies.

 

[Deepster]

My heart tells me that after that first half we are on the same type of zone where we run teams out of the building. Jump on the train now.

 

[BugsyCT]

Garden should be rockin'. Classic Big East battle. I expect the Jonnies to play tough but we take this one.

A road game for St Johns

That's a good analysis

I didn't know he freelanced for them

 

[auror]

Rick thinks the spread should be high

He’s making sure he doesn’t give us any bulletin board material. Hurley knows not to sleep on Rick at all though. He’s been doing this way too long not to have some tricks up his sleeve.

Oh brother. Here we go again.

 

[IndyLives]

Pitino will have all the refs in his pocket - like all his candies and coins. This will be close. SJ has been playing defense the last few weeks and the crowd will be wild for them. I might actually take SJs with this large spread.
