THE EARLY LINE URI vs DAYTON

Unread post by luke »

The opening line on this game is Dayton - 4. I guess that is fair but actually
higher than I expected. If they shoot well, I expect the Rams to win. I have seen
all of Dayton's games and haven't been impressed so far. I thought SBU had a
very bad game against Dayton. They missed many wide open shots and did
not defend very well at all. We will see.

meh, basically a pick 'em. home court gets you 3, so a -1 neutral site game.

Yup, and The Arena earns a full 3 points based on reputation.

The Rams play well at the UD Arena. URI has a slight size and strength advantage and
Charles Cooke may or may not play. If Cooke doesn't play, URI should have a back court
advantage and depth advantage too. Take care of the ball, make some free throws and
shoot reasonably well and they win.

I was thinking Dayton -3 so I was off 1 point

That's only overnight line so see if it moves or not

Opened at 4 and moved down to 3. People who bet on college basketball are nutso. Unlike football, where the final score is usually in line with how the game is played, you can have a college hoops game be consistently 8-10 points for 37 minutes and end up on the other side of the number.

completely agree, especially in a close match up like this. End of game free throws are too big of a factor in covering or not

Even stuff like putting in the walk-ons make the final minutes a crapshoot.

Dayton shoots 66.4% and we shoot 66.0% from free throws.

This is why when I do gamble on college hoops in Vegas, I have become a big fan of first half lines. It removes that end of game nonsense that can swing things the other direction.

Most sites have the game down to 2 1/2 now. One has it at 2. Cooke listed as questionable.

Yes, down to 2 1/2. URI is better, flat out. They win this game and make a statement. This game is big psychologically , confidence wise to show they can beat what has been the best in the conference and on there home court, when its really going to count for us. This would give the team a real swag with a win.
