-7,5

[GoldenEagles03]

As of right now it looks like somewhere between 72%-80% of bets are on Providence to cover the +7.5

93% of the ML bets place on Providence per Caesar's Sportsbook as well.

PC board says looks like Hopkins playing, Bynum out...

And yet, the books have moved the other way since it opened.

% of bets is a terrible metric in comparison to % of money.

Both were with the starters this morning in shootaround.  I'd be surprised if either played 0 minutes, especially Hopkins.

I'm seeing 72% on PC but 70% of the money is on MU, so sharps are likely hammering Marquette.

Huh?? Bynum was not with the starters.

It was Breed, Carter, Locke, Hopkins and Croswell. Bynum didnt even wear damn shorts or basketball shoes

I would pass on the game and the over/under. I like the way Dish plays the games and would be interested with in game bets tonight.

He's been in walkthrough mode each of the past 2 weeks and a game time decision yet again.

Hopkins on the other hand likely never was a GTD.

GE03: Bynum and Hopkins both with the starters at walkthrough today.  They're in.

Scoop: Bynum was in street clothes at walkthrough.

GE03: Bynum is in walkthrough mode (whatever that is) and once again a game time decision.  Hopkins was never a game time decision (again, whatever that means).

You're speculating yet playing it off like you have some facts that we don't know.  Let the process play out.

Let the process play out.

Arby's: Let the process play out.

Scoop: What's a process?

Who said he was in?

I said I would be surprised to see them get 0 minutes.  Could he be out?  No $hit.  I'd still be surprised.

I have no facts or sources and never claimed to.  Just looking at Providence photos from shootaround today and the past few weeks.

[tower912]

He hasn't played in two weeks.   I expect that streak to continue tonight.

[79Warrior]

I'm not a betting man, but its a -7.5 spread pretty large for a game between two of the four top teams?

Agree. I would take the points.

[Newsdreams]

Even if they play, it'll hurt our seeding if we win.  I'd probably lose just to help the Big East and Providence's numbers which in the long run will help us as long as we win at UConn and Creighton

If MU wins, Shaka should coach not to cover, keep it below 5 pt win and get that close game win skill. Would help seeding.

In the other thread, Galway indicated that they were both game-time decisions (whatever that means?).
Darn, Scoop inconsistent?
I'm not betting, or if I do it'll be a game-time decision (wtm).

[GoldenEagles03]

Per Rothstein

"Providence's Jared Bynum (abdominal) is a game-time decision for tonight's game against Marquette, per a school spokesman. Averages 9.1 PPG. Has not played since 1/4.

9 PM ET on @CBSSportsNet."

No mention of Hopkins. I imagine he really never was going to miss today.  May not be 100% but he was likely always playing.

Hopkins active

Bynum out despite "starting in shootaround" earlier today   

[DoctorV]

Shaka should draw up OMax number early and often if Hopkins starts and is covering him.

Go at him downhill with vengeance and tenacity like a runaway guillotine on wheels for Muggsys sake

[tower912]

Like a polar bear chasing villagers!

[MU82]

The 3 betting guys on CBSSN all took PU with points, though they said they would wait to make sure Hopkins is playing.

[DoctorV]

We did it. What a night for the over and cover

You can thank Kolek's FTs, hah!
