Be interesting to see where line moves.
Sounds about right to me.
Sounds like another slight to MU.
I would imagine no other 3/14 matchup is a closer line than 8.

Not really a slight.
Vegas has paid attention to how MU starts the game away from home. Add in the normal tension of an NCAA game and it seems a fair number.

Have to disagree. Vegas places the line where they think they will get 50% of the money on both sides. This tells me that Vegas thinks Davidson will be a popular upset pick, so they have brought the line down pretty far to have enough money back MU on the game.
That means Vegas wants people to bet on MU...not a good sign.

Right. I was talking fair number in terms of Vegas rather then fair number in terms of a casual fan who thinks their team should be a sure bet.
Of all the #3 vs. #14 seeds .. MU has the smallest point margin, 3-4. The other ones are 10+.
Grrrreat.
Florida is -20.

This is not really true. The best bookmakers take a side.

But they're not going to take a side on something this random.

Mu suspect away from Milwaukee. I would not touch this game.
Davidson shoots the 3 well and MU has made a conscious decision to let teams go bombs away this year. Thats the one matchup that scares the crap out of me.
