bball23 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 The early line tomorrow is Illinois -4. Here's to hoping we prove Vegas wrong. Quote
PimpMario Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 If I were to bet it would be on Nebraska. Although, I could see us covering and still losing. We are playing really well right now with a lot of confidence and Ray has to start making shots right...? right? Quote
TomEadesSucks Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 So Vegas think we'd be a pick 'em on a neutral court? Quote
royalfan Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 I thought it would be 3 or possibly 2.5. Not usually off by a point or more this time of year. Be interesting to see what it opens at offshore when you can actually wager on it later this evening. Seems a touch high from what I expected. Looks like a game I will be passing on, aside from possible under play depending on line. Quote

Cookie Belcher Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Although, I could see us covering and still losing. Illinois is favored, not us That is how we could still lose (by 1-3 pts) and cover. Quote

lanigan123 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 I think this is motivation for the team. No respect. Quote
Husker4theSpurs Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 Nebraska has covered in all but two B1G games this year Quote
royalfan Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 That line is what it is. Tread carefully Husker fans. This is a tough spot. I wish I were more confident we will win. Points are going to be hard to come by I am afraid. I can see more scenarios we get blown out than win this game comfortably. Lets hope like hell I am wrong. I don't have a strong opinion either way though and will not be participating in the betting one side or other. Probable large under wager depending on line when it comes out. HuskerFever 1 Quote
jimmykc Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 A week to practice for an ambitious, humorless coach who wants a win to destroy the image of a long home losing streak in his fan's minds and take down a rival coach who is getting national attention at the same time?? Nope, I think Vegas is calling this one about right. Let's prove them wrong. Quote
KZRider Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 If this game is as close as Vegas is saying, then I like our chances. We have been tested in some tough games and won. They haven't. Losing becomes a habit and teams with a losing attitude lose close games while teams that believe they CAN win DO win. They have nothing to play for but to be a spoiler. That only takes you so far in a tough game. I do believe it will be a close, hard fought game but I also think we will come out on top because we will be playing FOR something and they will be playing AGAINST something. Silverbacked1 1 Quote

We are playing really well right now with a lot of confidence and Ray has to start making shots right...? right? I agree totally. Ray has to start making some shots to keep defenses honest and not doubling Terran or Walter or Shavon. Quote
Tallbaby21 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 I'm seeing it down to NU +3 and even +2.5. http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/odds/las-vegas/ Quote

Always appreciate the advice, royal. No problem. Not often I am so frustrated by winning a large wager. But try to keep the two things separate. Quote
