Tech looked horrible in the matchups vs Ohio St last week...and Ohio St isn't even that good.

TheGeneral+ · Dec 21, 2004

Should have seen em' against TCU.

D2bets · Dec 21, 2004

Fish, any opinions on the game? the line? anything? Why should I not like Iowa at this number?

TheGeneral+ · Dec 21, 2004

Because TT can be very good if they are on. Good luck guessing if they will be on.

LOL
Centenary sucks. Anything else we can glean from this?

TheGeneral+ · Dec 21, 2004

Nope, just food for thought. If the TT man to man is on, then Iowa will struggle, if not then iowa may win by double digits. I'm sure a very emotional game for the coaches.

Fishhead · Dec 21, 2004

Beings as some of you asked.......

Bet IOWA at -2

Think Iowa is the better team and there should also be strong Hawkeye fan support in the windy city.

fans in rare position. Indiana fans root for Coach and Alford. Windy City pretty close to Indiana as well. Looking forward to game. No position, just watchin.

Fishhead · Dec 21, 2004

Home game for Iowa, many do not realize this and why i believe the game should be around -5

Thanks Fish. Pains me to have the hook at -2.5 but I thought I was getting a line that would move up. Didn't touch -2 until it moved back down this afternoon. Very strange movement.

And I agree Iowa is the superior team with some court edge. That's why the line has me baffled. Oh well. Go Hawkeyes. Besides, they need to get that ranking up there for when they get smashed by the Illini. :103631605

That's exactly the number that I had for this game. Maybe I'm crazy, but I still it may move up toward there in the next hour. Yeah, I'm probably crazy.

Fishhead · Dec 21, 2004

D2bet- You know as well as anybody, this game does look like a small trap.

Consider me falling for the bait like you.

Iowa is a very strong team, fairly confident of that after watching most all their games thus far in the season.

THE GENERAL will out coach ALFORD though......thats the only drawback that I see.

TheGeneral+ · Dec 21, 2004

Pinny lean on TT right now. If it doesn't move against Tech, I may be forced to make a play on Coach's team.

Saw that too Pete, thats always a concern.

This is shaping up to be one heckuva good game.........looking forward to it like most of the country.

Fishhead · Dec 21, 2004

Come to think of it, my heart may be to much into this wager.

May be underestimating TT

Oh well, taking my chances with the -2

To add insult to misery................HAWKEYE171 & KYHAWK are on the IOWA side too. :icon_conf

TheGeneral+ · Dec 21, 2004

Iowa seems to be the right side to me as well, but again, if TT's man to man is strong tonight with a little less than par shooting from Iowa, then it could go to TT. I just heard rumor on ESPN that Coach Knight is considering the USC job now?
