2012-13 College Basketball Running Cordial Discussion

I generally agree with your point, but the Bucks and Bulls would like a word: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/bucks-beat-bulls-93-92-034102842--nba.html.

 

Similarly, Michigan never was going to win against Notre Dame. College kids are incapable of mistakes when they play for good Indiana-based sports teams.

 

Looks like Missouri is going to have to settle for being a pretty good team and not an elite team. Michael Dixon is facing his second rape allegation in a week.

Lesson number one for gamblers. When a line makes no sense, just go with it.

1. Last night. Unranked and typically shitty Miami was a 2-point favorite at home against No. 13 Michigan State. Miami wins 67-59.

2. Tonight. Unranked and decent, but not anything special, Notre Dame is a 2-point favorite at home against No. 8 Kentucky. Notre Dame waxes that ass and wins 64-50.

Neither one of those lines or scores makes sense. Vegas knows. Vegas always knows.

 

What Vegas knows that Joe Blow gambler misses: home court advantage really REALLLY makes a difference in college basketball, more so than in any other sport out there. Especially in the early season.

All I had to do was take a one second look at that insane Indiana crowd two night ago, and I instantly knew North Carolina was getting blown the fuck out. Similar story for Kentucky in that Notre Dame crowd environment tonight.

 

Also, Kentucky is not very good this season.

 

Agree. I sleep on that more than I should.

I also agree with Verse about UK. They'll be better in a couple months, but right now, they're definitely vulnerable.

I got caught with the Miami game. Righted myself with Notre Dame, thankfully.

 

ND fans storm the court in a November game. Next thing you know they'll be burning couches outside of Corby's when lose to Providence

 

Baylor 3 minutes away from a win at Kentucky

 

and down goes the longest home winning streak in the country. Baylor 64, No. 8 Kentucky 55

 

One of the 4 Hofstra basketball players arrested for breaking into multiple dorm rooms to steal electronics and cash transferred from Hawaii to Hofstra. NEVER. EVER. trust someone who would rather be in Hempstead than Hawaii.

 

Kentucky goes from No. 8 to unranked in the AP poll.



Biggest plunge since the poll was expanded to 25 teams.
