THE EARLY LINE URI VS C OF C

Unread post by luke »

The opening line is out and it is URI - 10 1/2. That sounds like a fair to slightly low line.
betting URI ? get your bet down now before the spread goes up a bit. Got to believe the Rams cover that
number at home. This game is part of the five pack so I would think attendance should be decent.

Luke,
What do you think the home court for URI is? 3 points? 4 points?

I expect all 3 of these teams to provide good challenges for URI, and all 3 are capable of pulling the upset.
I would recommend that URI Fans attend all 3 of these games. These are good, solid programs with all knocking on the door of being Top 100 RPI teams and all 3 capable of breaking into the Top 100. Not cupcakes by a long shot. All 3 teams are capable of upsetting URI and would love nothing more than to have a victory over URI on their March resume.

The probability for a URI win and the point spread from RPI-Forecasting:

12-16 College of Charleston (130.2) CAA: 88% probability for win: 14.3 points
12-21 Iona (103.2) MAAC: 86% probability for win: 12.9 points
12-27 Florida Gulf Coast (118.6) Atlantic Sun: 82% probability for win: 10.9 points

Yeah, I would say 3 or 4 points for home court is about the norm, so that should be right.
I think they get a mental lift from EC returning and play well in this game coming off the
Alabama loss and being back at the Rc where they shoot the ball better. I think they win
by 12 to 15 points.
