I don’t bet and know nothing about how it works. But, what does it mean that Furman is only a 4 point favorite after opening at 8 last night? More $ going to the Mocs?
Yes bookies want the same amount bet on both teams are close to it. A bunch of people must have jumped on the 8 so that is why it went down. It worked as the line is back up to. 4.5.

Yes., mucho money going on the Mocs.. That is a HUGE point swing. HUGE (assume it opened at 8, I only saw the 4 point line). We were 12 pt favorites on Western.. we see how that worked out.

Remember that UTC shoots more 3s and makes more than anyone Averages 31 and 11 so FU 3 point defense will be a big factor.
just looked - UTC is shooting 25+ threes a game with Stephens back. And hitting at 40%+. Thats sick. HAVE to defend the 3. Of course this allows for back door cuts but still I would take away the three first and foremost.

And Wofford hung in at 3-23 threes .. we just need to shoot 30% threes to be ok I think. FREE THROWS

Let ‘em have ‘em. Then we run ‘em back our way and keep up the back-&-forth for 40 minutes, substituting in our bench along the way. Skip our 3 altogether and focus on guarding their 3 & runnin’ ‘em into the ground.

Had me worried. Team was shooting around without JP. He just came out of locker room and is dressed out. Sigh of relief…

How does he look? Walking gingerly or trotting around ??
