I know the fans don't play the game but they held a parade down Massachusett St. in Lawrence for the team as if it was over. This mindset is prevalent on campus and the players know it. Wouldn't doubt Self's ability to motivate but I think this little joyride ends here. Jayhawks have shot the ball like shit since the Big12 tourney and have been living on borrowed time. Add in OSU looking for a little payback after losing at Allen, without Sullinger, earlier this year. My moneys on the Buckeyes. Funny, I thought the same thing after Mizzou blew their load in the Big 12 tournament. Haith was on the court crying afterwards.They don't give parades for final fours at KU. You should focus on your coach winning a tournament game first |

If it's an NCAA sponsored tournament event, there is no alcohol besides in the suites. Regular season football/basketball games are another story |

Not sure how you rip on Vandy's tournament performances and don't mention how little Bo Ryan has done with some very good seeds. It's like pulling teeth to even make a sweet 16. This program routinely goes home in the 2nd round. Vandy at least has a bunch of seniors and I expect them to be focused big time

I wish you were in my bracket pool with Mizzou making the title game without seeing Michigan St or Kentucky along the way |

No reason not to take a shot with those odds...great value. As far as their draw goes, I don't think the bracket is that easy. If they play Florida or Marquette, those are two teams that are guard oriented and can play four out, one in as well. Florida got screwed to be a #7 seed. And then Izzo is like 6-1 in elite 8's if they played Michigan St

Long Beach has one major injury in Anderson. I'm pretty sure he's out. FYI

Can't be much worse than the NC St game. Talk about getting screwed |

95% of the Piston love in this thread is for three reasons: 1) The Lakers suck on the road-fade the public 2) The Lakers blew out the Heat on Sunday 3) This line should be -8 or -9 If this is all the information people use to cap a game, that's pretty sad and you deserve to lose your bets. I haven't seen any DET backer (at least in this thread) actually breakdown the matchups and show a decided advantage somewhere

But (and this is meant with no disrespect) Train plays every game on the board every night including round robins as if they're going to stop NBA gambling at any moment. Like I said, if LAL win this thread dissapears by 1:00am. If the Stones win, Train gets some attention for a while. GL w/ that Agree 100%. Oh man Train won the Pistons game with a genius angle...too bad he juiced himself out with 10 other bets or simply went 2-6 on the night. |

Lakers should not be favored by 8 or 9 pts on the road vs anyone. There's really not anything at all fishy about this line. The Pistons are more than capable of getting blown out or winning this game. I'm just not buying the letdown angle for the Lakers because they beat the depleted Heat at home. They expected to win that game. Any Pistons backer should be worried that this is the first game of the road trip for the Lakers...just feel there would be a better angle if the Lakers had already played 3 on the road and took a night off |

I'm on Philly. They've had a murderous schedule the past two weeks...playing 6 of 7 on the road before the all star break and had some tough losses at home against the top teams in the league

what should the line have been to not be a trap? It was -11 in Seattle and UW is a terrible road team. This line also opened at 7.5 and has been at 7 all day. Cant tell you how many times I've seen people lose trying to bet on a side for no other reason than a line movement change. Which team has a reason to even play this game? UW winning the Pac 12 outright would be a huge deal to the school and USC might be the perfect place to cure some road woes heading in the tournament |

UW vs USC was -11 in Seattle so I think the spread seems about right. UW seems to win but not cover against the bad teams on the road. I put a pretty big bet on UW but I'm also on tilt. I'm expecting it to be a tough cover, but UW has plenty of motivation here and USC doesn't |

I don't think the line is that fishy. If you look at Washington's schedule, they often win on the road but don't cover against bad teams (Utah, AZ St etc)...they've never been favored by over 7 pts on the road in Pac 12 play. The spread vs USC at home was -11. That said, I'll still take my chances on UW tonight. I think USC quit a long time ago...and they have one more home game, so you can toss out the senior day factor |

Why not take the under instead? Curry has a dinged up ankle and is 11-34 his last three games. Ellis barely played on Wednesday because he was sick. Ibaka is going to limit Lee's effectiveness. And now Durant is sick as well? OKC normally has more defensive intensity at home |

Asking advice on a future's bet that you aren't even laying $$ on and pretending its for a kids college fund is pretty out there. But whatever, it's your thread |
