Ok the only way to get over this Iona loss is to get back on the horse. I need some feedback

Ok the first game that came on my radar was the USF versus Seton Hall game.  

I really like USF in this spot, anyone agree?

1st half over LIU when they post a total.

that jumped out at me when I saw the sorry slate of games for tomorrow.

I would say over depaul if they weren't playing rutgers which never seems to score....though depaul went over with Georgetown and Pitt which is next to impossible to do....by a combined 36 pts.

Pix ill take a look into this liu total. I'd say ru if they are at home if spread is less than 5. I just think usf playing well lately and seton hall can't beat anyone. Unless usf has more of a let down after ot loss. I'm hopng they come to play. Do wish it was usf at home but we shall c.

The only thing shabby about those picks is the 8-28 conference they both have.

I'm leaning USF just b/c Seton Hall seriously doesn't know how to win.  Seton Hall beat Villanova (by a miracle lets add),  without that Miracle win hasn't won since Jan 23 versus USF.  I just think USF has been playing well and don't see Seton Hall sweeping the series...this game is still a lean though.

The Rutgers play is based on my experience watching the last game.  Depaul did beat Rutgers, but Rutgers shot pretty poorly.  Its another game where I think being at home, this series should split to a win a piece.

Again I definately agree not fun to pick shitty teams, but they are playing other shitty teams and the spreads are a pk and -3, so I like that they don't have to cover 10 or more.

I might wanna rephrase RU shot poorly versus Depaul, they just never went on any real offensive runs shooting themselves in the foot all the time, not saying that they can't do that again either.

mkuhi - WKY still haunts me.  I wasnt "allowed" to go in on the Manhatten game, so maybe to my benefit.  Back to today...

SFL, Pk Full game - check out packers1992 thread "1 play" as I agree with SFL.  Good writeup and some stats thrown on there.

Rutgers seems to be the better play, need to crunch through numbers.  Early action is moving to -3.5  Not sure yet.

let's get something straight here. this depaul team cannot play defense. they let offensively stagnant pitt shoot a big east record percentage against them saturday. unless something has changed in the past few days, i'd expect rutgers to be able to score all the points it needs to cover the three. depaul simply refuses to play any type of sound defense, help side, beaten off the dribble, not getting out to shooters, you name it, they can't/won't do it.

As for usf, they have been playing better and the only thing that concerns you against hall is hall will play hard and can get hot from three, while usf is as we know offensively challenged to say the least.

Help the blind guy to see:

Since losing to Seton hall by 8 at home they have gone 2-10 in the conference.

With zero conference wins on the road.....why the heavy lean?

I couldn't agree more......however, in a teaser, 7 or 8 pt,  Depaul is an obscene 16-3 ATS...covering @ Syracuse, pitt, lou, uconn, @ ND, ND, @ Marquette, @ St johns, Cincy, @ prov, etc.

I just don't trust Rutgers, especially in the 2nd half of games.  Look at the countless 2nd halves they lost or collapsed.

the guard on Rutgers went 11 for 19 from the floor including 3 for 7 from three pt range finishing with 28 pts.   He has 40 in his last four games and is shooting a dreadful 14 for 43.  AND THEY LOST BY 6.

U guys do have solid insight. This is a gut feeling in the fact that I don't see the hall and depaul taking both games from their opponents. But I think you guys are right netter left alone, I'm going with my gut on this no more than tjat

here is why I think I know what I am talking about:

take the teaser +10.5 depaul and over 137.5


Why I think this is a lock you say?

Still talking about Depaul mind you, but it is to make a point:

In big east games South florida scored: 
44, 54, 41, 66, 40, 47, 64, 50, 65, 47, 61, 38, 53, 44.

10 games they can't crack 55 pts.

Against Rutgers they scored 67.
Against Depaul they scored 83.

In the big east Rutgers is 5-13.

Winning by: 5,3,3,2,5.

Winning their games by, you guessed it, 3 pts.

Hammering that teaser hard my friend.

best of luck.

USF

Their wearing new uniforms tonight. What else do you want?

Seriously, the better team, revenge, been playing better, wins over GTOWN, Uconn (blowout) and a decent Georgia team show that when they play up to their potential, they're not a bad team, And the new SOFLO uni's they'll be unveiling did it for me. Bulls pick.
