Vegas Line: Marquette +7

[mubb3434]

I was expecting it to be around 3.5 so I am a little shocked by this. I really hope we drop 14-16 threes on them tomorrow...

People thought I was exaggerating the Kohl hole effect.      IMHO, that is a larger home court advantage than most. 

[zcg2013]

I'm still confused as to how it's at +7. King, Trice, and Davison all have missed some practice this week. I'm not sure where this comes in at.

Already betting for MU to cover.

I'm shocked at this line, was thinking we'd see Wisconsin -2 or so.

Looks like i'll be emptying my bitcoin wallet tonight.

yeah but not 15 points. it's just not worth that much.  I would buy 7 though.

That line is horrible. Guarantee it's down to 5.5 by game time.

OSU sure felt it...

P.S. OSU was up 23 at half. Crazy.

Kohl is big home court advantage, but think the line is awfully high. Definitely a buyer here.

Agreed, but there needs to be a threshold of talent that can leverage that home court advantage. It ain't there this year.

Why is the Kohl hole such a big advantage? Loud and annoying Badger fans?

[mufvr]

Bottom line is the Warriors remain disrespected. We've got to get this program and the record back to where we want it  to be and things will change.   Tomorrow is a good place to start.

[Jay Bee]

All things considered, as of the moment I think MU +4 would be reasonable.

[mufvr]

 This Wisconsin team is weak. I'll be disappointed if we don't win this game

[MUUWUWM]

Maybe they are better than most think. They have played one heck of a preseason schedule.
Should be a good game..or at least I hope so.

They are pretty bad. But hold a big advantage with happ that will be real tough for our lack of size and depth.

But if we don't get completely crushed by him, definitely can win

If I could find a Wisconsin fan to take the bet I'd hammer it. 5 I asked all passed and said they wouldn't even do it heads up.

Worth noting these are MN based Wisco grads, not some die hard sconnies.

[wadesworld]

The Kohl Hole has a big home court advantage...because the team that has been playing in it has been very good since it opened. MU has not had any issue winning at the Kohl Hole when they've been the better team. The question is simply whether we're better than them. It's two pretty mediocre teams going up against each other.

Same. They are shook, and with good reason.

[MarquetteDano]

That does seem high to me.  Looked at one site and line is +6.  That is still high.  I think I may need to bet on this one.  I see UW pulling it out but getting six points is a lot for this matchup.

Hope the insiders don't know something we don't (injuries, suspension, etc.).

I've *heard* some betting *services* have the game off line because becky has a lot of unknowns.. several dudes with injuries, illnesses, etc.

I'd be all over +7 or +6.

At any rate, just won the NCAA plaque for Markus' 3FG% last year, so I'm all good.

I totally agree, but I'm pretty sure that a betting line shouldn't be a criterion for whether we are respected or not.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Not sure i disagree with this line. Weve beaten?  How many do we lose to Temple by ?, etc.  too much emotion invested on this one based on most comments.  Hope to hell im wrong but ive nit seen a whole lot to this point to think we are good enuff to go n get wins at big ten gyms.  Again hope im wrong , if we can eliminate the drive n offensive rebounds n shoot well we can win, first two concern me.

To be fair...It must be pointed out, and you probably don't realize it, but MU has out rebounded UW and out shot them this year.

Throw one back for me.
