similar line to last nights game correct?  I know the OSU fan next to me became an MU fan cause he took MU and the points

Methinks Vegas is trying to bait UNC money, so in my early estimation, they like MU :)

Curious to see where this lines goes.  I say up up up.  MU +7 or +8 by tip.

Kenpom.com lists us as +3.

Look at where NC is on Kenpom's list of teams and who we have played and beaten.  We can beat NC.  How sweet would it be to beat Kentucky to go to the Final Four again??

Well we were +5 against Cuse and that turned out fine.  +5.5 is okay with me.

I feel like thats a generous line for MU based simply off style of play. MU has a reputation for getting out and running - especially after last night. If you think UNC is going to win, you probably think this thing is going to be in the 160s at least, so in the grand scheme of things, 5.5 isn't much.  the more a game is a track meet, the more the value of each point on the line shrinks and shrinks.

This will be UNC's first game outside of North Carolina in awhile.  Like that aspect going in.

Well, only a bit over 2 weeks. But 10 of their last 11 have been played in North Carolina. Since February 13, they have only played one game outside NC, on the road at Florida State on March 2. Here's hoping any UK or tOSU fans jump on our bandwagon and give us the homecourt advantage over a team not very familiar with traveling.
