What say you?

Avoid the bet altogether. There's surer money in Madoff investments.
-
What say you?
I say Marquette is giving the points.
Tease it down to 14, throw it in a two team with the Saints to +3 and double your money.
If betting on sports was legal of course.
-
Take the points. I think Marquette will win, but the only spread they covered this year was Ohio State and NJIT is going to play the same way UNO did. I hope I'm wrong, but I would guess Marquette wins by 7-10 points.
-
MU wins tonight, but no way they cover the spread. MU by 12.
-
What's the scouting report on NJIT?
-
Take the points. North Jersey Shore is salivating at this matchup and may win outright.

Since we covered the spread against OSU, that proves we belong in the conversation.
-
I hope my life never gets to the point where I am betting on games like MU vs NJIT.
That being said, take the points...

Marquette by 23.
-
Woe be unto the team that plays Marquette after a loss.
-

What conversation?
-
We will play better and guessing NJIT can suck worse by at least a 20 pt. differential.
-
NJIT has been bad for year's and is not a serious contender. This is one of those games where we win but proves little unless it is by 20 or more. Unfortunately, I will take the points until the "Process" begins to have a positive impact on MU. I will be cheering but will have realistic expectations until then.
-
Trap bet again. I was right with Ohio St. If people are actually betting on this game I imagine almost everybody is going to take the points especially after last game. Vegas knows. Take MU -20.
-
But as the Dodd's excuse machine points out - Omaha had really fast guards. Does NJIT have fast guards or any other excuse that can be made for losing a game that should not have been lost...
-
I would have bet against MU vs. OSU (and would have lost by a point) and against MU vs. UNO (and, sadly, would have won).
Isn't NJIT the school that lost approximately 82 gazillion games in a row at one point? I gotta think that if we are going to break one open and just have fun, this would be a candidate. Gun at my head, I'm giving the 20. Maybe we'll win by twice that and all our troubles will be solved!
-
NJIT lost by 19 @ St. Johns = St. Johns > Marquette
NJIT small and young team = Marquette
Random Variable NJIT 6'10 freshman from Russia > Marquette
NJIT poor offense = Poor MU Defense
Matt Carlino due for big game > NJIT
Final Result 83-78 MU
Carlino explodes with 6 3 pointers.

Jeez, Dark Lord of Douchebaggery, you actually think we have a chance to beat mighty NJIT and its Drago-like Russian with that horsecrap coach we settled for?

Yes they are that school, but they aren't nearly that bad anymore. Still a team we should beat by 15+.

MU(IQ)82
I never said the coach was horsecrap. I merely questioned his ability to coach defense based on the lack of all around hustle. Scared of a little critical thinking?
-
What conversation?
About the dance. C'mon man, it is all about whether we get in the dance. Is there a chance?
-
But as the Dodd's excuse machine points out - Omaha had really fast guards. Does NJIT have fast guards or any other excuse that can be made for losing a game that should not have been lost...
Yes they do. They are both fast and both can score.
-
Marquette by 23.
If the game is on Fox Sports that is going to be pretty high scoring baseball game.

Nope, DLoDouche. I merely questioned your ability to rate a coach 3 games into his tenure.
You would have fired Wooden and Coach K 50 times before they ever won anything.
-
MU(IQ)82
I never once rated Wojo nor advocated for his firing.
I perfectly know you can't grade a coach fully until at least 3 years into the program, of which, I have stated before. In fact, I really haven't criticized Wojo for anything. I've criticized the players for lack of defense, but that's about it. Where does your hyperbole stem from?
DLoDouche? That's about as weak as a Derrick Wilson 15 footer. Clank. Now please ........ go back to ironing your Matt Kenseth Nascar button up for tonight's game. We need you looking sharp tonight to inspire the defense. I'd buy you an Old Milwaukee, but I won't be attending this evening.

If you think Vlad Shustov is going to really give NJIT an advantage, I'm not sure what to say. Kid redshirtted last season because he couldn't find the court...despite having three inches on everyone else on his team.
That being said, I wouldn't take MU in this one. I would guess a 15 to 20 point victory for MU.

That's why I put it as a random variable. There isn't enough data to go off, but as a coach, you have to consider him playing more minutes because of the distinct height advantage over MU. Either way, this team lost by 19 @ St. Johns. St. Johns is much better based on what I've seen so far, so I don't think we can have the same point differential as them over NJIT.

Pomeroy has MU winning by 16 FWIW.

You know what? You're right.
I have criticized others for calling posters names, and here I do it myself. I was trying to be clever by latching onto all of your Dark Lord references, but it was stupid of me. Please accept my apologies for that.
I still find your postings to be mostly nonsensical, but if I criticize you in the future, I will try to be less juvenile.
-
Just to put the point spread in perspective, St. John's played NJIT on 11/14/14. StJ beat them by 19. Are we better than StJ? Your call.

If you have any questions about my posts, I'd be more than happy to explain them if they don't make any sense to you. I prefer more creative insults by the way.

So when's the dark lord comin back?

Tuesday. Definitely Tuesday. Dark lords always rise on Tuesdays. If not tomorrow, then certainly next Tuesday.

Notice that the poll continues until after the game and bet then.
