UMass -6 O/U 139

My prediction is that Umass will win but not cover (and take the over)

139.. i could actually see a 70-69 final in this one.

I'd say we are due for a bounce back game but cant trust it.

Looking for a bounce back UMass win. Lay the 6 and hammer the over.

VCU opened at -8.5 and it’s up to -10.5. This will probably me the most points we get all year.

KenPom has the game line at +7 and the O/U at 141.


VCU plays decent defense I am not sure Umass can cover 7. If it goes to 10 I might like that, but I will probably stay away from this. That LaSalle game really changed my overall opinion on this team.

my prediction was VCU -6.5 so that lends credence to the thought UMass will cover. That said sports betting is ridiculously hard with a perfect example in the Bills/Dolpins game. MIami was up 24-20 and had 120 yards. I bet big on Buffalo.. oh well..

Shouldn’t this be a system play when you are getting an extra 3.5 points on the Vegas line?

Any word on the lineup tonight?
We need steady guard play at VCU.

What are the computers telling us for tomorrows spread? I’m guessing another pick ‘em range but Umass might end up a slight favorite.

^ 2 sites I look at who have early lines both have it as basically a pick-em game.

KenPom actually takes that into account. Which is why his number is usually so close to the game day line (to start with anyways).

As of right now - Joe's -1 and O/U 147.


I do like the over quite a bit - After whatever that was against VCU, Umass can't do much worse on offense, and St Joes puts up pretty good points.
