The LINE URI VS PC

[luke]

The line for this game as Midnight approaches in the East is URI -1 1/2 to - 2.
I am very surprised that URI is the slight favorite after the loss to Valpo, and
I am not going to open my mouth to pick a winner after blowing the Valpo
pick. Please win this one guys for my sanity.

I saw URI -1.5 I think will win but won't bet it

[brady1]

No respect from Vegas. We should be favorite by much more than 2 pts.

GO RHODY!

Huh??

[Rhodymob05]

I heard home court gives that team about 3 points, so basically it's like -5 URI, but I'm no gambler so I'm not sure.

[skwalk47]

KenPom is kind of THE default source for numbers and he puts this game at PC by 1 at home. I like Rhody and think they win, but if pure analytics says PC by 1, what makes people bet Rhode Island? Certainly not coaching.

If PC wins by 1 I think this board will crash and crash forever.........a lynch mob will descend on the RC later.......after a certain coach.....

just kidding of course....but hell hath no fury.....

Going to be interesting no matter what. Obviously a meltdown if they lose. And, if they win...don't you think there will be folks labeled as 'too excited over a game they should have won anyway' and lots of friendlydiscussion around that?

[ATPTourFan]

I will gladly take my chances with the game they should have won anyway argument.

Definitely.
Just saying, either way...will be plenty of feedback to read and I'd much prefer that, too.
A convincing win here could be a major springboard....go Rhody.

or "it's about time"

[ATPTourFan]

I'll also take a 1 pt win.

[josephski]

I don't think it's a game they necessarily should win based on PC's talent but if you're a top 25 team then you're expected to win the majority of games like Valpo, PC and Houston.

Also for a coach who has not had his team play well on the road starting 0-2 this season in road games would not be a good sign.

[Matunuck]

Line opened at even. Rhody money has come in to move the line to 2 1/2. Not touching it because I don't want any part of me routing for the Friahs. I hope I am wrong, but I would take the bad guys plus the points.

[giovanni]

I've now seen it as high as URI - 3 1/2. Go Rhody!

[Matunuck]

Yup, Gio, 3 to 3 1/2 everywhere. I hope the money is on the correct side.

[skwalk47]

Kind of makes sense. KenPom's numbers would make this game URI -3 on a neutral and I think the Dunk is closer to a neutral than a 3 pt home court advantage.

[ramster]

Some now have spread at 3 1/2 Rhody favored

[luke]

Yes, Ramster about half and half between URI -3 and URI - 3 1/2 which is surprising to me.
after Tuesday's debacle I'm not sure what to expect.

I decided to bet with my heart and take URI on the money line and I walked away a loser thanks DH
