MU +350 to win the East region.

Already mentioned in Vermont thread, MU opens -13.5 vs Vermont.

[RushmoreAcademy]

Any other lines stick out in the first round?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Still sitting on my Marquette future at the start of the year at +25000

They've been upping my cashout every week.

ORU +7

MU already bet down to +12.

[ski44]

MU -11.5 now on DK

[Tortuga94]

I'll be in Vegas next weekend. Any suggestions on best place to watch the games? Best sports book? Will definitely be laying some funds on MU to make the FF at +350, I like that bet.

MU at +12?

Bet every penny. Lose and cover 12 points? What site is this?

Haven't been to all of them, but the Wynn is one of my favorites.

I live in Las Vegas during the winter.  All of the good sports books will have HUGE minimums for March Madness if you want to actually hang out in the sports book.   It's their Super Bowl (pardon the expression).

If you are up for splurging, I recommend Circa.  That's where the Vegas Marquette alums watched the NMD game.  Hands down the newest, coolest sportsbook in Las Vegas.  You can even hang out in the pool while they broadcast the games on their 135-foot TV screen.

Twenty five years ago, you could put a bathroom towel on a seat in the morning at MGM Grand to save it.  Now they charge a really stiff entry fees to watch and enjoy.
Thursday/Friday was a great time there, I did it for two years in row with friends. Times have changed.

Having been in Vegas for both weeks, conference tournament week >>>> NCAA tournament week.

Sweet. That doesn't really answer Tortuga's question. But good to know he chose the wrong time to go.

Hahaha...I was in Vegas on conference tournament week in 2003, hope it's not a bad omen.
First time going on opening weekend of the real tournament. Going with a group of guys that go down every year, most of them are UW fans, so if there is a MU group getting together within walking distance of the strip, I'd probably be open to ditching the group.

Says the guy whose response to "where is the best place to watch the Tournament in Vegas" was, "It's so much better to be in Vegas last week!"

So the other commenters who gave their good advice, that's not good enough?  I mentioned conference championship week as being better, it's by no means a shot at Tortuga, it was an opinion. Living rent free (still) in your head, you get all bent out of shape, I love it.

MU -10.5 worth a look or do they need a warm up game again?

I knew what you meant, wasn't taken as a shot by me.

I've already got a wager in on MU -10.5....I think in the first half we might be a bit slow out of the gate....but then I think we can run them out of the gym with pressure defense, pick and rolls, cuts to the basket, & kick outs for 3.

Oh the irony.

I watched the MU/ Miami Sweet Sixteen game at The Mirage in '13. The place was great. Seems like such a looong time ago. It's also MU's last NCAA tournament victory.

MU has been sitting at -10.5 for the past day or so in the Vegas casinos.

O/U 144   (down from 145.5)
money line -600  (down from -650)

MU is 21-12-1 against the spread on the season.  17-16 vs. overs.

[Tyler COLEk]

Any clue why the Marquette tournament champion future would be OFF on MGM? Guessing it's just an aberration, as I still see that line up on other books.
