Sju spread

[Marquette4life]

MU-2.5

[tower912]

That will generate some money.

[BM1090]

I would have guessed MU -1.

Guessing that will slide down closer to even before tomorrow night.

[MuMark]

That line is incorrect......opens at a pick

My scores & odds app also open at MU at -2.5. That Vegas link is slow at the open.

Oddsshark indicating it opened at 2.5 but Betonline has it as even, so who knows?

New York money coming in moving the line?

[Loose Cannon]

Make Up calls for last game.

Make Up calls for last game.

No doubt.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

This is a weird game. In a vacuum, I think Marquette should win. But when I look at the conference schedule as a whole, I think this is the 3rd or 4th hardest game on the schedule and I expect 4-6 conference losses. If we lose, we are still on track for 12-6 or better, if we win then we give ourselves some breathing room.

That's why it's called the BIG EAST.

T Rank projects Marquette,  Butler, and Villanova to tie for first at 11-7.

St. John's is favored by 1.6 on T Rank for tonight.

75% of money is on SJU

[Floorslapper]

Went to MU +1.5 this AM, to now MU +2.

So, MU should be a big underdog. 
Not so, that is not how the book works, it balances the bets and makes money on the action.  The vig. and the ties....it does not want skin in the game. 
We all know that.

Problem is the St. Johns Long Island Alumni and the Carnessecca  Arena.   One of the most enthusiastic fan bases around, not the students they are 65% Asian and really don't care, also they are one of the most knowledgeable and sportmanslike fan bases.

Well the line has moved 4 points,  and 75% of the money is on SJU.

I am aware of how it works I was just stating a fact
