4 points isn't a lot of chalk - wisconsin could put the spread and the game away at the free throw line

I just checked their free throw percentage on cbs - it's like 86% - this is totally a house money play - the public will be all over belmont with wisconsin only scoring 33 points last game - they will be mistified when it's over

jon leur and jimmer are going to dominate in their games and both don't have to cover double digits - both are coming off loses making them house money

Nope, Taylor Battle almost beat Wisconsin single-handedly with a scrappy performance from his teammates on hustle plays.

They were settling for poor outside shots, not rebounding well, not attacking the bucket, and not playing very good team basketball in general.

The line for Wisconsin went from -4.5 to -3.5 - what do some of you expert line movement people think about this? I would like to know if this movement means anything - is it possably trying to make it appear more doubtful that wisconsin will win because the public is ready to roll with belmont no matter what?
