This team is bad...

#20 TCU was down 9 to CSU Bakersfield and barely won by 5 last night, Louisville beat Nicholls St by only 13, Iowa beat UMKC by 14. It was a rough game but the team won by double digits. It's a bit early to be mailing it in.
 
Its the first game of the year, it's actually a perfect game, things noticed to work on. Wieskamp played well. plenty to build on.

Especially with the starting PG just getting back from injury a couple of practices ago. Too many 3s in the first half. 2nd unit provided spark in 2nd half. Long season ahead.

Yep. Failed to cover against a BAD team.

You do know that Vegas knew they were bad when they set the spread dont you? If good teams were expected to always cover spreads, it would be the easiest money ever for betters. They pretty much set the spread to make it a 50/50 chance that they cover.

LOL. Wow. You really don’t understand his point spreads work.

I know exactly how they work. They try to get exactly half the money on each side. In order to do that, they need to set the line to pretty much make it a 50/50 chance they cover. If they set the line to where one team has a 60% chance to cover, betters would rake it in.

So a lot of people lost money on Iowa covering tonight.

And a lot of people made money on them not covering. Just like every game every day. What are you even talking about?

He doesn’t know what it means. There is no explanation to why he is parading around here that Iowa didn’t cover. It’s likely that 50% of the favorites didn’t cover, that’s how betting works.

I think you’re not understanding the point you’re tying to make about trying to balance out betting when a team fails to cover by 9 points.
 
If it weren’t for being propped up by the refs in this one we could have lost or at least had a battle to the end. Iowa outscored the Kangaroos by 20 at the free throw line and it seemed like we got every call.
