Marquette 10.5pt Dog Tomorrow

[🏀]

Pat Driscoll is in the building. Let's set the technical line at 2.5.

[Jay Bee]

I would take the 10.5 all day long.

no h***?

I would take the 10.5 all day long.

The way we shoot the ball I would not be tempted to take the points. Tough place to play. This could be a rough one for the Warriors.

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

Taking the points and running with it.

Hard to win by more than 10 when you only score 45.

MU struggles to put up points, but the overall defense and pace of the game should keep them closer than 10.

I don't think PITT has the firepower to blow them out.

I would take the points based off being stingy on D again. Thankfully I am inclined to wager so I can watch the game with no added worries.

[Golden Avalanche]

Why wouldn't they be a large dog?

MU has shown no talent, skill, tempo, heart, poise, or toughness on the road in their two appearances. Now they enter the arena of the team who's been the most impressive in Big East play over the last decade and people seem surprised by +10.5?

PITT's record over the past decade will have ZERO impact on today's game.

DeJuan Blair isn't playing, and neither is Jerel McNeal.

It matters when you make a line.

[LAZER]

It matters when you make a line.

They're made specifically to cut through any existing biases and perceptions to create as close to 50/50 odds as possible.

I bet Vegas loves you.

So when we win by a couple it'll be a solid accomplishment.

Called.

I bet Vegas loves you.

I bypass Vegas but having taken the points, someone doesn't love me today. 

[Benny B]

Sorry... You don't get credit for "a couple."

MU won by "a few."

And of course, I sound like a genius now, but don't EVER bet against Marquette and the points. Thought you guys and gal would have learned your lesson in 2010-11.

LOL.  Thanks Ben.  Close enough for a 'gentleman's C' I'd assume.

Concur with your assessment.  Warriorchick and I are regular Vegas visitors.  I don't remember exactly which season (2-3 ago) but MU was one of the surest bets on the board.  We seemingly covered just about every game.

I can't believe you have the stones to complain about this....

I have six-pack of Spotted Cow in my basement fridge in suburban Chicago.  Wanna trade places?

Ummm ... I don't think I was complaining. Unless anytime anybody states a fact, he/she is complaining.

Ended up watching via streaming in my room. A real eye-opener!

Aloha!!!!
