Query: Handicapping a Marquee Gayme

pawz

This Friday 12/15 features

#5 UCONN vs #7 Zags

I don’t follow enough college basketball. How should this game be handicapped?

Lines aren’t published yet. Who should be the favorite? By how much? Predictions?

My guess is it should be something like GU -2 or 3. I haven't watched UConn so I don't know how they matchup but UConn has played 2 teams around the top 5 and both were very close games. I'd be tempted to take anything above -4 and UConn

Why is there no line yet?

WOW I guess the loss to UW raised some serious questions about Gonzaga. UConn -5.5. I'd be tempted to take Gonzaga at that number. My son is in Vegas. I should have him place that bet for me.

It’s certainly curious why UCONN would be a 6pt favorite on the road, all the way across country. Seems optimistic.

It dropped to 2.5 and my son didn't get me in at 5.5. Pissed

Like usual, Gonzaga gets bullied. Not able to play physical ball.

UConn up 10.

losing to UW should have been the indicator...

Glad I didn't get that one down. Roar is right.
