He forms terrible sentences like that, throws in some stats from Giglio and cbs will posts it on their website? Sweet gig.

Can't wait to see what our Kenpom rating is after this game

1/15/2013 8:33:56 PM

MD is gonna be hungry, but it comes down to talent. They really have none. They can't score worth a fuck.

1/15/2013 8:37:53 PM

howell gets his first 20-20 game

1/15/2013 8:48:13 PM

Why the fuck is UMD the favorite here? They suck hairy donkey ass this season.

1/15/2013 8:53:43 PM

Yes, someone explain this to me. Even with home court (which is typically what, 5-7 points?), how is an unranked team with a losing conference record a favorite over the #14 team in the country?

1/15/2013 8:56:36 PM

I told you guys over a week ago we'd be slight underdogs in this game, no need to act surprised now.

We aren't good defensively.

1/15/2013 9:01:34 PM

if you dont agree with it, bet?

[Edited on January 15, 2013 at 9:05 PM. Reason : Face, do you have money on this game?]

1/15/2013 9:04:44 PM

seriously with UMD's SOS being 277, there is no way i dont take us and any points in this game

1/15/2013 9:06:28 PM

Kentucky isn't good defensively either...

1/15/2013 9:14:45 PM

Vegas must know something about Vanderslice that we DON'T know.

1/15/2013 9:16:24 PM

There is literally no comparison between our defense and Kentucky's. Not even close.


And no I'm not betting on this game, I don't see much value on either side.

1/15/2013 9:17:17 PM

I can see is potentially getting into foul trouble if they bang it around inside. Rich normally doesn't play well against really tall guys, and our defense is definitely suspect.

That being said, Rich and CJ abused FrankenPlum (at least on the offensive end) in the second half. We should win so long as we stay out of foul trouble and Rich doesn't start disappearing because he's playing against some guy who's 7'13" or whatever. I'll worry if fouls pile up early. Otherwise, looking forward to being 4-0.

1/15/2013 9:17:53 PM

the only thing i can think of for the pointspread (in addition to Maryland being at home) is that people expect a letdown after an emotional win over Duke

1/15/2013 9:19:23 PM

Does anybody know if Farnold Degand is still on our bench?

1/15/2013 9:23:51 PM

vegas has formulas they use to set lines and then they adjust it a little for various factors.

If they get too much action on one side they'll move the line a little bit to create more balanced action sometimes. Or sometimes if they're really confident they'll hold the line firm so they don't get middled.


Bottom line is that you guys really overrate us. The line is appropriate in this case. If you think we should be big favorites in this game, bet it yourself. You guys apparently haven't followed CBK very long.

1/15/2013 9:25:11 PM

Isn't Farnold ALWAYS on our bench?

how wrong you were.

also fenway is the mastermind.

"Same. I have some sources on the inside that Gottfried made TBDV get an unnecessary shoulder surgery last year to get a medical redshirt which pissed off TBDV. I imagine that with getting/earning no play time this year it is completely reasonable that TBDV is upset with the coaches."

lol at classic 'sources.' tbdv didnt get the surgery just sat out with a rotator cuff tear so he'd have another year of eligibility since he obvious wasnt going to play this year either.

Everyone knows this. This is a board where you have some fans basically saying, "Meh, I think we'll win this game, despite what the spread is." Then you come in and basically say, "If you think we aren't in danger of losing this game then blah blahb whatever." You will continue to do that until we lose and then you will we say, "See, I told you all we were in very real danger of losing this game, etc." What are you hoping to accomplish by doing that? This is college basketball. We aren't a perfect team. We are going to be in danger of losing plenty more games this year and our defense is going to always be a liability. Give it a rest. You aren't proving anything.

1/15/2013 9:46:48 PM

not surprising we're dogs, vegas aint dumb. I saw this one as a loss before conference play started. hope this place doesnt melt down too bad if we do lose

1/15/2013 9:59:45 PM

i will personally be pretty upset if we lose this game.

1/15/2013 10:11:04 PM

^^^ none of that is true. There are multiple comments saying why are we underdogs.

The intellect on this board declines daily. It's become a cess pool.

1/15/2013 10:42:06 PM

agreed, face

this season is spiraling out of control, fast, and none of the other posters recognize it

1/15/2013 10:43:47 PM

Maybe we just need to start firing a bunch of people, maybe ask Herb for forgiveness, since he's turned things around out west, and just roll with it. ROLL PACK

1/15/2013 10:44:35 PM

Well the state fan mentality kicks in for this match. We are just so tired of it happening every freaking year that winning this could really go a long way for our season. Duke was a terrific win and we face another tough game away from home. We clearly have the talent to do it, just need to stay focused like we did the second half against Duke.

1/15/2013 10:47:21 PM

Agreed. I'm a different person than I was Saturday. Sobriety is a factor.

1/15/2013 10:48:34 PM

If Vegas has us as dogs, it's because it's a road game. At home we'd be at least 5-10 point favorites.

the result following this past duke win is still pending

1/15/2013 11:02:32 PM

I assumed that 14th win was last Saturday...and we haven't played the following game yet? I dunno...

Factors affecting the spread:

1. Record after big wins
2. Record vs. Maryland (1-9 last 10 meetings)
3. Maryland road loss only making them hungrier
4. Dan Dakich

1/15/2013 11:14:21 PM

All of yall haters need to stop talking up Maryland like they whooped Joe Louis' ass or something. It's getting a little Reddickulous.

1/15/2013 11:23:02 PM

Maryland is an elite team you guys, I mean they beat Northwestern and they're nearly a top-100 Kenpom team

If Howell holds his own against Len, should be an easy win. If Len wins the battle or Howell's minutes are limited by foul trouble, it's a toss up.

1/15/2013 11:35:41 PM

So, basically, what you're saying is...if Len "Steals Howells Sunshine," then it's a tossup?

They are just super desperate for a win right now. This game means everything for their season if they want to salvage it. That is what is a little scary.
