here's one clue:  WV is 11-5 at home... Marquette is 5-4 on the road... those numbers suggest that WV should be favored at home in this game...

not rocket science here...

This is completely false. A look ahead game for WV? Please tell me you are freaking joking...

 You are just another case of someone clicking on a match-up screen. Bet you have no clue that WVU home L's are to Lville, Pitt, ND, Baylor & Kent St or that there 11 homes w's consist of 4 w's vs losing teams. WVU's home w's vs RPI ranks of 42, 339, 171, 58, 53, 320, 162, 115, 14, 157 & 75. That explains the 5 home L's to me...

Your right it's not rocket science but it's also not kindergarten as you are suggesting...

We should all be glad your not on TV spewing this garbage. Although ironically you would fit in well with comments like this...

If you live your betting life looking down on the ground for traps you will never see whats right in front of you.....   we have all watched marquette and W. Va play this year. and we know who the better team is. just like we did last saturday when the Qutte line rose from +2 to 3.5 by game time.  Play the better team in this situation win or lose

That was not me, it was a copy and paste from a story about WVU chances of making the big dance.

Do you know the play here? I dare you to take MARQ!

i swear the same thing was being said last Marq vs. uconn. "when something looks too good, it usually is."   That's what you say when you don't have a strong opinion of the game. Marq has been rolling and i'll take my chances on them getting points against a wvu team that has been struggling lately.

Jumped on Marquette as soon as it opened. No need to dare me as i'm already on it. And that makes even more sense that now that your post was a copy and paste...

How many games has WV lost at home the last 5 years. Its one of the top 10 hardest places to play. College basketball is not the NBA where its ALL ABOUT TALENT. Its why teams lose by 40 away and then win at home by 10 to the same team. Marq is the better team but look at tomorrow's game and see how many home dogs win. Its always the best bet in college bball. You see it all the time where teams that dont even make the tournament but go undefeated at home beating several ranked teams.

1.) 14
2.) No it's not.
3.) Your operating with a very closed mind if you think like this all of the time.
4.) Although there is certainly some truth to this it's just not that easy.
5.) Well WV is not going to make the tournament and they are not undefeated at home. So what's your point besides contradicting yourself.

On a serious note. If WVU was any good they would be up 20+ right now and their not. Game far from over...
