Line came out last night with MU -7. As down on MU as I've been most of the year, still feel this is a lock of a bet. DePaul has been getting beat quite handily since Cleveland Melvin and his 16.5ppg and 7rpg left the team. Rosemont becomes like a home game for MU. Would be pretty surprised if we don't cover.

Surprises happen in Chicago. Just secure a W.

Good point...as I recall the game a few years ago we lost at the buzzer....but...still think DePaul is so depleted this year that we should win by more than 7....

Agreed, I'd take these pts. in LV. Not to take for granted, but think we are playing w/ enough "intensity" right now.

Not sure this team is a lock against anyone.

I would not say any number is a lock for this team. Would hope they cover, but who knows this season?

Stay away from this. How many road victories do we have by -7? This is a big game for DP. We will get their best game today--whatever it is. I'd look into the over or first half over.

Grambling, maybe.

I think we come out and stomp them. Win by 10 or more. Then the real games start.

Absolutely zero excuse for MU to lose to this Grade school team today. Let alone not win by 7 or more. If you can't hammer DuhPaul this time of year, they should automatically not allow you in the tournament, just on that basis.

Just feel with Melvin gone, and the way DePaul has been getting hammered of late by other teams (I've bet against them every game since Melvin's departure and its been a very nice winning strategy), but as has been pointed out - There probably is no such thing as a lock with this year's MU team.

But...we did beat Seton Hall and Georgetown by more than 7 on the road....

Well, Marquette already lost to the other last place team who's going nowhere in Butler so why not make it a Daily Double of Douchey Suck Suck?

How about St. Johns +8.5 @ Villanova.

You tease MU and St. Johns so your lines are MU - 3.5 and St. Johns + 12.5

Hope you didn't bet everything you got on that lock

The closest thing there is to a lock is betting the other way when someone says something is a lock.

Hey PH - why don't you answer your texts? You go to the game? Missed you today at Hofbrauhouse. Beaks, Joe and Dave made it

Took a beating on this game...even teased it to bring line down to 3.5 and lost that...due to the absolute worst way the game could have ended...

DP and over and billy Garett w big numbers. Ugly game and so many mistakes but a W is a W.

Wow, you give up on a coach after one close overtime victory over a bad team. That's...well...pathetic. I was gonna try be more polite about it but I couldn't find a way to do it.

As terrible as buzz is how can you say this??

Rat - I'm a huge Buzz fan...always have been...and virtually any who have posted here for more than 1 year know that. Is it not possible to be a huge fan of a coach, but not have a philosophical disagreement with decision(s) he makes?? Every coach at every level gets 2nd guessed...just part of what comes along with the profession.

But, I don't feel this game at DePaul should have ever come down to Overtime, or anything less than a 10 point victory based on DePaul being down Melvin. Nova just blew them out by 26 at home...Xavier had them down by 28 at one point the other night (granted it was at X)...but DePaul hasn't been in a game since Melvin went down. I've bet heavily against DePaul ever since Melvin's departure, and today was the first time I lost...of course it should come as no surprise it was MU that let me down this game..as they have this year.

Still love Buzz, love the program, love watching the games...even if I get totally annoyed at times...
