Wow...  i don't see it happening today.  Buffalo is not a high scoring team, and unless they are shooting 50+ percent from 3, I don't think they will be able to hang with UConn.  Cover... maybe.  But to win, I think that would be extremely difficult.

Buffalo starts a 3 guard lineup, as do the Huskies.  But Thabeet is going to make life miserable in the paint for the Bulls.  Unless he gets in foul trouble early, look for Adrien and Thabeet to dominate inside vs. the Bulls' front line.

A 10 rebound a game adv. is held by the Huskies.  I just think all factors included, a straight up win by Buffalo is highly unlikely.

You have to be crazy if you think Buffalo beats Uconn, maybe you could try a little on that money line at +1050 but that is just luck if it hits. Uconn has way to much talent this year and will win this game by 20pts at least.Uconn at this point in the season would give UNC a run for there money, now I am not saying Uconn would beat UNC but it would be one hell of a game.

As a proud Evansville alum and after watching the Purple Aces dominate both sides of the floor against Buffalo is their really a chance UCONN struggles here.  They are a lot bigger and more athletic at every position than Evansville and even though they are going to Buffalo they should cover on pure talent alone.  Buff has no chance against Thabeet.  Garner for Evansville stands about 6'7" and poored in 20 that night.  Evansville looked inferior to Buff but even the Aces gaurds could penetrate. 
 
BOL with whatever you choose but I see a UNC/MSU deja vu

While there may be a small chance of a Buffalo SU win, you almost have to toss some $ at the ML. 
 
The pain of Buffalo winning and you not being on it will sting 100 times worse than the pain of Buffalo ML losing, which could be offset by Buffalo covering.

Said pretty much the same thing in Woop's thread. Buffalo's tallest player is 6'9 and they have also averaged 18 turnovers/game while playing teams who play no where near the type of defense UConn does.

Do people really think the Buffalo team can turn the ball over 15+ times and UConn will not capitalize on those turnovers??

Not to mention they are not going to get much in the paint so all those jump shots and 3s must fall.

You know when i posted this i thought the same thing but realisticly over the last 10 years at home BUF has been stout against top notch teams except one game and that was against my boys! (UNC) But they still managed to cover the 26 points. We all know how good UCONN is i dont need to elaborate on them but for BUF this is there biggest game of the season to play against a powerhouse school. Playing at home which will be sold no doubt about it. I would be more enticed into this ML if GONZAGA was on deck for UCONN. This would have to be a perfect game for BUF to win everything would have to go there way. Can they win yes THIS IS FUCKING SPORTS PEOPLE NOTHING IS A LOCK! Any given night teams can have a bad night. This is college sports so it should not happen but it could we watch WKU already knock off LOU. We saw MARY go into UNC last year as 20pt dogs and won by 2. So anything can happen. I have had 5 games this year that I have played all of them have lost and one even lost outright being LOU when my numbers are double the spread and over 90% are pounding one side. Right now 99% is on UCONN ATS and 75% ML UCONN. Line has yet to clip over 15 from what i have seen. I have UCONN by 37 tonight tonight. But for possible confidence this is THURSDAY AND WE HAVE A THURSDAY NIGHT HOME DOG!

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Possibly

This would be a fucking shot in the dark play no doubt about it! If they somehow did win i would look like a genious for this but if the didnt cover the spread i would feel like a complete fucknig idiot!

UNC is 5 steps ahead of every top 10 team this year. If UCONN and UNC met tomorrow on a nuetral floor UNC would win by 10+.

how can you have a lean towards uconn in one thread and think of taking buffalo ml in another?  So after taking a good look you decided your initial lean was more than 15 points off! Cmon. Good luck with whatever you do though.

Its called capping a game unlike most people on here dont do. I post leans at at 1AM not doing any capping. I capped 2 games last night EKU and BUTLER. Leans will change from time to time...

Just put the extra money you were gonna put on the ML on Buff against the spread........Dont know much about Buff but I think it is highly unlikely the upset happens.....But anything can happen nowadays.......Good luck

If you are gonna play this you should wait till about 6 or so that gives everybody time to go home and throw UCONN on their ML parlays to make that line go up........That line will go higher throughout the day
