Terps & Over :thumbs:

Sorry for the huge write-up but I know my Terps.

Gonna be a great second half if they wanna continue this:

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Western Carolina's last 6 games when playing UNC Greensboro

[BUNK MORELAND]

29-23

at the half ..

WHAT A GAME :laughing:

[joepa66]

Agree with Daws here:

Check out these here numbers:

Western Carolina is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games on the road
Western Carolina is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games on the road
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Western Carolina's last 6 games on the road
Western Carolina is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games when playing UNC Greensboro
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Western Carolina's last 6 games when playing UNC Greensboro
Western Carolina is 3-8 SU in its last 11 games when playing on the road against UNC Greensboro

In their first meeting in Cullowhee the Catamounts were 16pt favs and struggled and fell behind big early. The managed to win by 10 and UNCG's athleticism was almost too much for WCU to handle at times, but then the Spartans got into second half foul trouble.

In looking are recent form of both teams they have lost 3 in a row! WCU lost 2 of those at home while two of UNCG's losses were roadies. Now by comparison vs. the same teams in their last 5 recent games:

WCU Lost @ Elon by 18
UNCG beat Elon by 7

WCU Lost to Appy State by 12
UNCG Lost to Appy State by 6

WCU Won @ Samford by 12
UNCG Lost to Samford by 3

Just my 2 cents and there are certain match ups where certain teams play great against certain teams and not against others. I feel this is one of those match ups. Some people don't put alot of stock into the numbers at the top, but look what happen to Kent with similar numbers playing at Buffalo!

Bunk,

That w. carolina line is just screaming for people to play western carolina.


Also, teams are never as bad as they seemed the game before and people tend to overreact. This could be the case with UCONN tonight. NOVA plays zero defense. None. So I have issues backing them with the high lines.

[BUNK MORELAND]

Line hasn't moved an inch ..

I expect some late action to come in on NOVA ....

I figured this would have moved by now atleast to 10 .. I thought this could go as high as 11,12 ...

With Syracuse losing , i think Nova takes advantage of that unexpected loss by CUSE

One other thing.. NOVA doesn't play again until they trave to P, I double on Feb 21st ...

They can focus on UCONN and getting a win ...then focus on prep for Pitt ... Uconn's strenght is GOOD GUARD PLAY... Robinson,WALKER, and DYSON are not enought vs this very deep and athletic NOVA SQUAD ...

just my two cents on nova / uconn

Good Luck to everyone

wrong again for me ... line just fell to 9

good luck tonight boys, i am laying off everything. not backing terps. enjoy the action fellas :beerbang:

[BUNK MORELAND]

western carolina is down to 5.5

I should of waited ...


It's a ****ty conference road favorite, but i just don't think UNC GREENSBORO has HOME COURT ADVANTAGE RIGHT NOW ..

an 18-8 team only giving 5.5 against a team with only 5 wins ...

[PhilRivers]

Hey Nicky, I kinda like the over too. Maryland playing at the Comcast Center and should be able to push the tempo like they have all year at home. I look for their 3 point shots to fall in this game unlike what happened in Cameron.

A 72-63 kinda game would be a winner for the over.. but the total went from 135 to 133.5 so a lot of money came in on the under so who knows.

[Nicky Santoro]

It's the coke bottles Joe:laughing:. Should be a good game, couldn't decide on this one and if I have no strong feeling either way I try to make it a no play. I do like the over 134. I think these teams are going to put up some points.

I like Beholdah's take on the Kansas/ A&M game. That line is begging for dog action. It's so bad I went ML on A&M. Fat,crazy and stupid may be no way to go through life but, it is mine:beer2:

[joepa66]

Taking a liking to UVA tonight! This team has the 31st ranked scoring defense in the nation only giving up 61ppg and their average differential in games this season is just over 7pts, with just a 4pt differential in conference games. They don't score alot but keep games close. I like them to keep this one closer than anybody expects.

Anybody else looking at the Cavs and seeing what I'm seeing or is my brain as fogged as these old coke bottles are getting with the 2+ inches of snow we've got on top of the couple of feet we already have?

[Daws1089]

NOVA/MD ml parlay seems like the best option tonight. If you could find a 3rd team to put into that one then I'd got for it.

[BUNK MORELAND]

I may have to take a shot with

Western Carolina -6.5


Greensboro is 5-19 overall , Western is 18-8 and in my opinion a real contender come Southern Conference Tourney time

Davidson has owned this confernce over the last three years, but this year it is wide open

Tough to find anything with this small card but this seems like a decent play

Western has more options on offense.. Four guys average atleast nine points , good inside - outside balance for Western

First Meeting between these two :

Western Carolina 79-69
