You see it occasionally with offshores. Rare. Usually late in the evening.

Line's been taken down. Major fuckup. Saw the plus 5 and did a double take.

We'll see if it's honored. 50/50.

 

Less than 50/50 as I should have known. 

"The ticket had an incorrect matchup / line and was canceled and needs to be reentered by you."

For starters, Duke laying 1. Will be an interesting game to say the least. 

They're gonna be laying one to rest...so to speak.

Sampson has to be licking his chops at matching wits with the Arizona coach. UH's guards are going to be hard for Arizona to stop.

You do realize Sean Miller is no longer at UofA right?  Tommy Lloyd is a bright coach.  Few relied on him heavily at Gonzaga for years.

I feel like Michigan ends up playing Nova in every damn tourney. Hope they can get them for once this year. 

They have literally only played them once in the tourney the past 30 years and it was for the Championship a few years back lol

Yes, Sampson's tournament resume is 2nd to none. I'd take him over Lloyd any day of the week.

He'll play.  How effectively remains to be seen.  But he'll play.  

Saw video of him during lunch walking off the team plane from Portland. Looked to moving fine. Plenty of time between now and the next game. Barring a setback I'm guessing he's good to go.

21-16 and never coached in a championship game. With a field that still includes K, Wright, and Izzo, Sampson is not even top 3 in this S16. I'd even put him behind Few for non title coaches left.

This was your quote: "Sampson has to be licking his chops at matching wits with the Arizona coach."  Like he was going up against Steve Alford.

I don't know what you are trying to say. Lloyd has never coached a S16 game, this is Sampson's 3rd straight. Arizona is the more talented team, but UH has the guard play to make Arizona work just like TCU did.

I'm trying to say that Sampson licking his chops to match wits with Lloyd is a bit hyperbolic. Like Lloyd is some sort of regard.

And Bill Self...

Or maybe you meant Self instead of Izzo.

Zags with convincing win

Nova in a blowout

Duke in a close one

Zona in a close one

Purdue in a blowout

Kansas in a close one

UNC in a convincing win

Don't care about ISU / Miami; either will get destroyed Kansas (or Providence).

They are on fire absent the Va Tech ACC Tourney blitzkrieg. And Wooden ain’t walking through that door. I saw what they did to Baylor. UNC is not who we thought they were.
