UCONN should blow this team out. Listening to AJ Price after the WVU game, you can tell the Huskies want some sweet revenge against an ice cold Friars club . One of UCONN´s worst performances against a team that lit it up from 3ville. Huskies 3 point shot perimeter defense has vastly improved since 1/17.

 Should be a double-digit victory, -3.5 seems like a gift

It seems the huskies cryptonite are friars. This reminds me of a play, louisville at providence, I think the line was -5.5.  Louisville ended up wearing them out at home late after playing poorly.  UCONN can even make mistakes, be down 10 or so up until 7 min left and still cover 3.5 easily at providence.  this line will move to at least 5 by tomorrow...
 
Best of luck all

Both teams have been stepping up the D later in the season.  Put under 149.5 in my Easter basket.

This line hasn't moved.  If you flip the home-court advantage, the line is opened precisely the same as the last game.

To me that says the boys think the same exact thing is going to happen.

You know what, check that.  I am going to with UCONN.  The road team has covered the last 7.

This game is way trickier than it looks.  Providence and DePaul (both dogs tonight) are deadlocked for the last spot in the Big East Tourney.  If you think these guys dont want to play at MSG, then you are mistaken.  For Providence and DePaul, these are BY FAR their biggest games of the season.  DePaul has an even tougher roadie against Pitt after this, and Providence has another tough home game against Villanova.  Its tough enough winning on the road in the big east without a team playing to extend its season.  This game strikes me as one the books are salivating over...
 
A home dog, getting no love from the public, in a must win game. 
 
I'm laying off, but be careful guys.  I wouldn't make UCONN (or cincy in that depaul game) a big play.

personally, I think if Providenc and Depaul were going to showup this season, they might have wanted to do it before the last game or two before seasons end, they both are on a backslide,going the wrong way.
 
UCONN  -4.5  BIG

Must win for Providence? How so? Man, they better win so THEY CAN MAKE THEIR OWN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT. I bet thats a huge priority of the program.

EXACTLY bbailey. The backslide will continue tonight. UCONN is poised to finish the season strong and they will be the better prepared team. This time of year is Calhoun´s specialty. His guys already believe they are going far in the Tourney and he will bench any guy to make him think about his lack of intensity on defense or any showboating brainfart. And if that does happen, to oh...let´s say..Marcus Robinson or Hasheem..they always comeback to prove something to Jim Calhoun.

Theory is you shouldn´t bet your fav team, but Uconn has been good to me this year except for the Northeastern game in December

UCONN -4.5 for the game

2 team parlay
Clemson -2
UCONN -4.5

written this morning...
 
UConn -2.5 (3 units to win 2) vs. Providence - basically just a gut feeling here, UConn has had a few scares over the past 2 weeks and they'll need to sure up some things going into the Big East tourney.  Jim Calhoun has prepped this team for road games pretty well this season, and they should be a tough out in the Field of 65 coming up.  I also bought 1.5 points here at -150 juice.

Providence is a very mediocre team.  This is March and UCONN will show up here!

 Listening to WTIC Harftord right now, Lots of trash talking from Friars players last game. According to the radio announcer, *dancing, prancing and winking at the bench when Friars iced the game back in January*.
 
I am geeked about this contest. But damn, I do miss those Dunkin Donuts. Aqui en Mexico, no lo tiene !

yeah i'm ready for march madness too buddy, February sucked for me big time (at least for betting anyway) but now for conference tourneys and the big dance i'll be shining my shoes
 
it also hasnt helped that this week i'm doing a theory on buying points in every game i pick.... (i guess CK is the only one who can do it consistently and win)
