    total went from 130 to 132. Louisville has been red hot lately and with a healthy T-Will, they are a solid offensive team because he has turned into the "David Padgett" of last year. Louisville has had some bad defensive performances in the first half in back to back games. Providence scored 40+ and Cincy was red hot. Georgetown will come to play tommorow night and they will make some shots that they don't normally make. I see Louisville scoring around 70 and that leaves only 61 or so for G-Town and I think they can handle that. Louisville's press will probably force G-Town into quicker shots than what they want, hence the game won't be too slow paced.

    On the O132 train as well! Fantastic breakdown on the point total btw!

    the press and the fast pace of the game is the only scary thought that's keeping me from taking the under

    I love the Hoyas @ +1. Louisville is really flakey lately and literally didn't show up against Notre Dame on ESPN not long ago.

    Meanwhile, the Hoyas are scrambling for a tournament birth and have played good ball lately. I'm going big on G'Town.

    Louisville is scary to bet on, especially against an underrated Georgetown team that needs this win. Depends on what Louisville team shows up tonight - I do agree on the over.

    You're right in that G'town needs a win, but what makes them underrated?

    Covered one game in the past 10, seems to me that oddsmakers are overrating them

    I like Louisville here too but i am too scared to bet on them today.
    The refs will make bullshit calls against Louisville and ultimately win this game for the home crowd. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

    You're not being paranoid. You've made a genuine point. Many of such games end in unexpected home wins.

    I hate to say this because it sounds incredibly biased, but that game at Notre Dame shouldnt even be thought about. Louisville played terrible basketball coming in and both key players were banged up (Williams wrist, Clark's knee). Louisville has won more Big East road games in the last 2 or 3 years than anyone I believe. As far as the officiating goes, getting screwed is a real possibility. Louisville is finally healthy minus Reginald Delk (reserve) and I think that embarassing loss to ND was very similar to this game (ND and GT both need a big win and the line was incredibly low). I wasn't disapointed about the loss to ND because I saw it coming, but I believe Louisville will win this game.

    alright 4-1 so far today with Kansas and the UNDER in that game left! Another solid day, really pleased with the way Louisville played as well!

    alright 5-2 day, not a bad days work! Kansas and Oklahoma have 88 points already in the second half so that killed the under. I'm about to leave and thought I'd post this now but Kansas leads 80-73 with less than a minute left. BOL to everyone tommorow, it might be lunch or so before I post my plays but I hope everyone did well today

    no problem, glad u bet Kansas as well. Kansas is a solid team and I'm surprised Oklahoma played as well as they did to be honest

    I second that Tpowell. Nice night. Originally wasn't sold on Louisville, but listened and came around.
