Purdue -7.5

Question

On it.Why? B/c the board geniuses are mostly all on the other side.  This game reminds me alot of the Florida at American game.  Valpo, like American, are mediocre mid majors, not upper-tier mid-majors (those are the dangerous squads).I&#x27;m typically very anti-road favorites, I just dont think this Valpo team is all that good.  I consider Kansas and Purdue as equals this yr.  Kansas destroyed this Valpo team, no contest, yes I understand that Valpo is home on this one but if KU is 35 pts better than this team at home, then Purdue is 8 pts better on the road.  Valpo&#x27;s other results arent noteworthy enough to write off the KU game as "a bad day".  Purdue also laid an egg in its last road game - at Richmond.  They&#x27;ll be focused to erase that from their minds.  And Valpo aint Richmond.  Far from it.  And yes, I know PU is missing a key bench player.  Boilers by 12.Also allllll over Memphis &#x2B;12.5.  On a nuetral floor, 2 talented teams with a bunch of kids on it, please explain this line to me??

just ignore this guy, every time he crawls out of his hole he shows how little he knows... nothing new

IlikeDawgs · Answer

damn brother, win or lose you will be in a heap of shit at some point during the season capping games like this....GL

daviddaman24 · Answer

I&#x27;m telling you this guy is literally clueless... The funniest part though is he sincerely thinks he knows what he&#x27;s talking about

rzagza · Answer

Oh I&#x27;m sorry, I&#x27;m sorry, everyone on the other side is a genius. Isnt that how it works?  "Everytime this guy opens his mouth", I just call it like it is brother.  You guys are a bunch of number crunching system dorks.  Don&#x27;t hate me b/c you&#x27;re a degenerate who calls you out for being what you are.  Nov 12Indiana-Northwest Won  111-64Nov 15@Kansas Lost  44-79Nov 18Purdue-North Central Won  98-44Nov 23@Ohio Lost  75-78Nov 26Northern Colo. Won  76-61Nov 27@Texas A&amp;M-CC Won  68-62Dec  2@Ill.-Chicago Won  68-66Dec  4@Loyola (Ill.) Won  66-56This is Valpo&#x27;s schedule.  Is there a noteworthy result in here?  They have played 1 team with a pulse, and got railroaded.  How are they any better than American? If they played on a nuetral floor today the spread would be close to even.As far as Kansas is concerned, they are vastly overrated.  Sure, they blow out crappy teams like Valpo and Ohio at home, who cares.  Kansas has played 2 respectable opponents so far, a middling UCLA team, and needed a miracle to survive on it&#x27;s homecourt.  The other decent team they played, Arizona on a nuetral floor, was a dogfight,  Kansas is not that good.  Come the end of the yr, Purdue and Kansas will have had comparable seasons.  Neither team is going to the Final Four, that is for certain.

"how do u expect people to take you seriously with such dribble".

I believe the word you're looking for is 'drivel', but yes I'm supposed to take you seriously with your 8th grade education?

kc_thug44 · Answer

I beg to differ my friend. Kansas will be adding a top 5 recruit to it's roster within a few days. I'm not saying Selby is a saviour but if he's half as good as the hype I think Kansas takes a big step forward.

Not many teams in the country will be adding a top flight talent like this to their roster "during" the season. March is several months down the road. We shall see.

IlikeDawgs · Answer

not on either side (played over 128 last night) and am certainly no genius...just saying if you think capping a game with the reasons you described is a good idea my guess is you have or will struggle with col hoops...getting overwhelmed by ku at the phog the second game of the year is hardly a fair indicator for a team like this, the fact they havnt played a top 50 team since then doesnt mean they havnt proven anything as they would never survive a schedule like you seem to what any team you bet on to play, but that does not mean they are incapable of rising up in a big home game and giving Pur a run for their money....Purdue may cover this number i dont know, i was just trying to help you out long term as it is clear you look at the wrong things while deciding on your wager, but if advise is to much for you to handle go fuck yourself.....

rzagza · Answer

I don&#x27;t come on here and tell other people what to bet, or how to bet so take that condescending BS elsewhere.  There&#x27;s no being tool than someone who has a disagreement with someone previously and then instantly just labels that guy as "clueless".  Seriously grow up, how old are you, 12?When looking at middling teams like Valpo, I tend to throw out most of the games they play against other teams on their level or beneath it b/c you can&#x27;t draw much of anything from those games.  Kansas is the only team they played with comparable talent to Purdue.  Guys get caught up in crunching numbers of games played by crappy team vs crappy team, it&#x27;s a pointless exercise.On that note, I like the Memphis &#x2B;12.5 play alot more than the Purdue -7.5.  That&#x27;s mostly a fade the public play for me, whereas the Memphis line just doesnt make any damn sense.

rzagza · Answer

As far as Kansas goes, I disregarded Selby's presence in the future, he will definitely make a big difference. As of this moment right now, I find them extremely overrated. But yes, with Selby, a better team than the Boilers.

GameHunter · Answer

Purdue is as good Kansas without their best player Hummel for the year and two other regulars out tonight??????????????????????????

GameHunter · Answer

I meant Hummel out for the year above.

rzagza · Answer

Kansas is not that good right now.  Selby will elevate them, though.Purdue wont be without those 2 regulars for long.

GameHunter · Answer

Who cares if Purdue won&#x27;t be with those 2 regulars for long??? All we care about is tonight! You are comparing Purdue to Kansas for purposes of tonight&#x27;s matchup and that&#x27;s it. Your reasoning is:Purdue = KansasKansas killed ValpoTherefore Purdue will kill ValpoTomorrow doesn&#x27;t matter!

rzagza · Answer

Do those extra ?? and !! help you better get your point across?

I was talking about tonight, AND the rest of the season, is that OK with you.

Bet Kansas and Valpo tonight, I could care less what you do, why are you getting so fired up? I'm not basing my plays tonight JUST on the Valpo played Kansas angle. I havent seen enough from Valpo in their other games to make me believe they are a good play tonight. As for Kansas, I could see this line being 12 if they were home, but being that it's on a nuetral floor it just seems off to me.

GameHunter · Answer

Fired up? (only 1 question mark) I&#x27;m actually laughing at the logic. All good. I just am not sure how you are dismissing that Purdue is on the road missing two regulars tonight in addition to Hummel.And for the record, I have no interest in Kansas tonight.

daviddaman24 · Answer

and on and on we go... rzagza makes no sense, gets called on it and makes excuses... all par for the course.

rzagza · Answer

Called on what? Mistaking that the Richmond-Purdue game was road vs nuetral? Ah yes, that makes me totally clueless.

Keep crunching those numbers, dufus. You are a genius. I bow down to your incredible knowledge. Guys like you dont even watch the games, or know 90% of the players, you just sit in front of your computer and run statistics. Then you run with these stupid trends and try to pawn them off on the public as if you are some basketball czar. You don't know sh*t, bro.

daviddaman24 · Answer

Where do you get this idea that I crunch numbers, use trends, or bank on statistics? It&#x27;s like you are just making this stuff up as you go.

rzagza · Answer

You strike me as one of those cats on here.

I got into a big argument with dorks on here that try to sell their picks based entirely on computer figures, and no actual watching of the games. Coulda swore you were in that thread, no idea why you'd be jumping on me otherwise when my picks in my short time here have generally been pretty good.

daviddaman24 · Answer

I&#x27;ve just seen you in a bunch of other threads and it seems every time you pop up you&#x27;re in the middle of a bunch of BS. Then whenever anyone actually makes a valid point or offers some constructive criticism you can&#x27;t handle it and start calling people names and escalating things. I could be wrong, that&#x27;s just the general impression I have of you based on what i&#x27;ve seen.
