MU -7 vs Nova

[fjm]

What are we doin gang?

I'm undecided on the MU game.

But I think Vegas slipped up on the original providence X game.
Xavier -4 with Freemantle hurt. He's 15pts and 8th oh D's a game and X rebounding and D already isn't great. I'm taking Ed Cooley to cover.

[Goose]

I am a buyer of MU -7 and PC to cover. I think MU steps up the defense again and home court carries them to the win.

Nova is easy money for non-Christians

[brewcity77]

I like Marquette -7 and Xavier -4. In the short term, Xavier will be fine with Hunter taking Freemantle's minutes. It'll catch up with them when there's more tape, but the bigger, stronger, better defender should actually help them against Hopkins.

Number has certainly plummeted, you could have gotten Nova +9 last night. FD is down to MU -5.5 as of this moment.

[fjm]

Jones' and Moore effect.

[wisblue]

I don't gamble and, if I did, I wouldn't touch this game because of the uncertain injury situation.

But, if I had to bet I would take Nova at +7. That seems like a fair spread even with MU at full strength and a little high if MU has to play shorthanded.

Think you have to take MU -5.5. Don't overthink it.

I think Nova plus 7 is a good bet. Close game, MU wins but plus 7 is interesting.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Nova's defense is pretty bad this year.  If Kam was 100%, I'd take Marquette to cover -7.

Too much uncertainty with injuries though. Maybe play the sandwich- MU moneyline and Nova to cover.

I'll be waiting to see if I can get -3 or less on the live line.

[rocket surgeon]

defense-take the under 145.5

  these are one of those where it could come down to us being up 7-8-9 but they make a meaningless 3 to end the game

     a big D'oh!!!!!  shuckey darn darn

[oldwarrior81]

it looks like the spread is now between 5.5 and 6.5

WTF?

It's time to take no prisoners and score at will.

Why wtf? We are home, but we have 2 players out. They just returned their top player. I think -5.5 is correct.

I've hit pretty good on kolek assist props lately. But today they have him at 9 assists. Thaaaats a tough one to bet.

Other O/U props for tonight's game on my gambling site:

OMax 1.5 3's (no other MU options for 3 pointers.)
Oso 3.5 assists
Oso 12.5 points.
OMax 13.5 points
TK 12.5 points
OMax 5.5 rebounds

Oso over 12.5 points is intriguing

[Dish]

This sucker keeps bouncing around, it's almost universally -6.5 right now. I see Kolek assists on FD at 7.5 (over -120).

I've leaned the under here, just too much uncertainty about who's in/out tonight. Will look to live bet this one possibly.

[GoldenEagles03]

Oso over 12.5 points is intriguing

Oso's 1st bucket came with 15 minutes left in the 2nd half last time against Nova.  I suspect he'll be more active tonight.

Marquette can go Big as an advantage tonight with

Kolek
Stevie
Jop
OMax
Oso

I'm not much of a better, but I'd take the over on 1.5 3's for OMax.

We scored 56 in the second half without Kam on Saturday. I think we cover this comfortably. The line moved because of the "leading scorer out, time to fade" mindset but the strength of our team is our team. Even if Kam doesn't play, we still smash that spread.

I sure hope so!

Only beat them by 2 in PA though with Kam and they didn't have Moore. Going to have to control the game early.

Game went down to the wire in Philly when we had both Jones, they didn't have their best player, and Stevie had a career day. Tread lightly with that spread....
