Marquette ML
Quote from: Newsdreams on November 15, 2024, 01:47:36 PMNow we know for sure Owens isn't playing.
Sinners should bet on Maryland
Zero feel for the game tonight. This is the first time in the Shaka era that I do not have conviction on the team in November. Very much hoping that we see a glimpse of what the ceiling looks like in the next handful of games. I am looking forward to the game but would place a dime on it. My gut says that winning margin will be double digits and could be either side.
being a road game makes this spread essentially a pick em
fwiw-oddshark which goes strictly by the numbers says-
maryland wins 73.8-71.2
maryland wins, covers and total goes under(145.5)
i'm gonna be a homer and take MU +2.5 and the over 145.5
MU offense 84.67 defense 62.33 maryland offense 83.0 defense 51.33
i'm counting on ben gold hitting the winning 3 oddshark is forgetting to account for ;D
74.2-73.8 for the road win 8-)

Right there with you Goose. Just don't have a good feel for the team yet. Need to see more from people other than Kam, Chase and Stevie. Will be interesting to see who the other alphas on the team will be over the next few games.

Honestly, I think Marquette has 5 good starters. Even though ben is bricking threes, his defense has been much better. But i have no clue if we have any bench right now. It feels like Parham and Owens are the two best hopes for any bench production, which isn't fun.
Comments from one of marylands best defensive players:
"I feel like [Kam Jones] is a great player, definitely gonna be a tough matchup, and I feel like we just gotta limit his touches and make him do things that he's not as comfortable doing," DeShawn Harris-Smith said Wednesday. "I know he's a great shooter, and he likes to get to his left a lot. So I mean, for me, I'm gonna try to just deny him the ball when he gets off, and then when I want to try to force him to use his right hand."

Kam is right handed in everything he does except shoot.
Forcing him right will do no good for Maryland. They will have to try and not let him get the ball to stop him.

We watching different golds? Outside of his blocks I've thought his defensive positioning and rebounding have been poor.
His footwork against CMU was very good. Not Oso yet. Few are.
I think Gold has improved his speed and footwork a great deal over the offseason. His defense is the worst of his worries at the moment.

Second lowest defensive adj efficiency when on the court. So the team defense is completely fine.
Great win, Rocket!!

You must be. Gold was great tonight though in limited minutes. Gave up either 2 or 4 points all night. Once he got isoed by Gillespie at the top of the key and got beat. The other was a breakdown in communication on a switch between him and Kam when guarding Queen. I don't know if Kam or Ben was at fault.
Ben's defense is much improved. His shooting will come around. Rebounding still a weakness.
Nice bets, rocket.
Rocket nailed it.
Let's go Marquette!!!

I got in after the spread dropped to +1.5 which I thought was going to be the killer especially after jop jop'd up that inbounds play
parlayed the +1.5 & ov 146.5
straight bet money line, +1.5 and the over
fanduel
