Title: MU opens -3 Vermont
Post by: Mr. Nielsen on December 04, 2017, 06:47:09 PM
Surprised it's only 3 over a strong America East School. Vermont is coming off a loss at Bucknell.

MU will lose if they play the way they did Saturday

If that is the case the betting line is moving towards Vermont.

Better than being a 3 point dog.

Thank you, I think.  ;D
Problem is we think many know it, but it's not really the case.

Well, no kidding right. Truth be told I didn't know it opened at 4.5. I'm sure others didn't as well.

We assume, what, 3-5 points for home court advantage? Kenpom has us separated by 4 spots in the rankings - the line doesn’t seem crazy to me. MU between -2 and -6 wouldn’t have surprised me. We win by double digits if we hit 12+ threes and lose a tight one if we’re under 25% from 3. Many of these games are going to be as simple as that.

For what it's worth, it closed at -4 for Georgia.

Didn’t expect Vermont to hit 13 of their own, but my take still holds
