His has always sucked especially after we had the best duo in history going into his tenure. Figures he's going to last like a Larry King to me it all starts with the voice Like him or not don't really like Walton's voice so not excited to have him announce.

Reinert310 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I realize this is Oregon’s first game but they have to have a dozen turnovers already in the first half against Those We Don’t Speak Of From Columbia. The vast majority of those are just totally lazy passes that look almost as if they’re intentionally throwing it to the defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not they only have 7 but those 7 have led to 11 points (would be 13 if not for a blown break away layup), Oregon is fortunate to not be down 20.

MichaelC Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Was hoping the Florida-BC game would be a good one and it's not, Florida up 20 at the half, I guess they shook off all of the rust in their first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went on to say something about how his grandson or nephew even makes it to a game once a year on a school night. I was like, ok? Didn't say anything about the kids age or nothing, just left it out there to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zink Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 @The Wiz any thoughts on the WIsconsin - Marquette line? Started at WI -3.5 and is moving, but that still seems like a steal for the #4 team in the country... what are the voters missing that the bookies are seeing here?

I am showing Marq ( A ) over Wisc (A+ ) by 1 ....Marq has a 51.5 % chance of winning. What makes it even trickier is I have only 38% of the data in (each team has played 3 games). Should be a great game....many lead changes...possible OT. Zink likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were actually a few early lines that were WI minus 8 according to sports gambler friends of mine.(I am not a sports gambler) Then there was a 4.5, 4, 3.5 etc...Ken Pom has it as a one point game. Who knows? Probably tempting for many UW bettors to give the 3.5. Big rivalry game that could go either way every season.

Zink Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 How frequently are top 5 teams underdogs against unranked teams? Again, this line seemed weird from the get go.

Again, this line seemed weird from the get go. Wisconsin seems overrated, but Marquette looked terrible vs OK St. College hoops is a game of matchups. Marquette dominates the first half at times with double digit lead. Then Oklahoma St. went zone and Marquette had no answer, few if any adjustments for it in game. They went from a half time lead to struggling quite a bit in the 2nd half. Oklahoma St. presented quick, fast, zone trapping with lots of length. It worked well for them at a needed time when the game was getting out of hand the other way. Marquette defended well, but their 2nd half offense in that game was bad. Wisconsin historically doesn't play zone, and has a much different team that presents much different challenges. Marquette still has enough talent and ability to bounce back in a different game. But they'll have to play better in a quick turnaround. i don't think their COVID-19 timeout helped them either. We'll seem They'll need better guard play from Carton and Torrence. Garcia will likely be signficantly better. No result of this game would surprise me either way. Zink likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see what do they have in common? both match the eponymous biggest school in the state vs private school that is in the largest city in said state. If only we had such a.......
