18 is a bunch for our Flyers who are very good at building a big lead and erasing a big deficit, but killer instinct not too much!

Hard to believe the way SLU has played the last two games. Also, recall they beat GW earlier. I wouldn't be surprised to see us struggle to win this game.

-18? Sounds like the price of crack has dropped significantly in Sin City........

That may've been the worst line I've seen in years!

SLU is bad...I think it's about right.
Not sure why this game of all games is sold out. Do UD fans still think SLU is relevant this year. Kind of strange. I hate playing SLU.

Yeah, I don't see us winning by 18. KenPom has us taking it by 15, and I think that's even a bit of a stretch with SLU playing better of late. I'm thinking 12-13 is a more reasonable spread.

With our history of liking to make games close and making bad teams look good, giving 18 makes me nervous once again. My guess is we win by 8 just to keep the fans blood going.

SLU has played better at home. Not necessarily on the road.
I still wouldn't touch that line, though.

I agree I would not touch that line but for the last 2 games, Crews said F it. Our D isn't good enough so let's try and outscore the other team. It worked against Davidson and UMass. Not sure about how the Davidson game went but UMass is beyond awful right now. I think if they play to outscore us, we beat them by more than 18. If they take the LaSalle approach, different story.

These are very hard games to predict. The St Louis kids are playing for pride, and this will be a huge game for them. If we play 35-40 minutes of hard basketball, it will be a 30+ point win, but unlikely. More likely, we play hard when we have to and win by 10 or less.

These big spreads scare the heck out of me. Not because I don't think we'll win easily- I think we will, but when you're up 20-25 with 2 minutes to play, the bench is emptied and it becomes a streetball game and what looked like an easy cover gets blown up.

The SLU fans have to be just apoplectic right now...Majerus takes over and brings them back to relevancy...3 straight NCAA bids...then Crews takes over, and the whole thing just totally collapses. Wow.
To be fair, Crews was the HC for the last 2 bids, but RM appears to have laid the foundation for those 2 bids.

Vegas drew alot of bets on a lackluster game with that opening line. They know what's up. If the opening line was UD -8 it would've gotten a lot less action.

I would have lost the house on this one. I would have bet we couldn't beat a UDPride all-star team by that margin.

Here's another one to bet on if you are really brave. What is going to happen on Feb 23rd in St. Louis after this embarrassing beatdown? The Vegas spread and the actual score will be really interesting.
