Does anyone else think Vegas has missed a few lines?

Why was Minny only giving -2 to Northwestern? Minny just beat NW by 27 about 3 weeks ago.

Same thing with St Joe's beating Charlotte yesterday. You have a team who was beatin before and St Joe's had 8 more wins. Why was the line so low?

Really frustrating!!

i had the St.Joes bet yesterday (only one i won out of three) but they were struggling a bit going into the tourney and they came out slow out of the gate. So it was a good line for 1st half bettors

anyways I'm too new to this game to understand why.

I agree. UVA, despite having a few decent games recently, flat out stinks. BC rolls IMO.

You playing BC tonight?

I line started at -4, but went to -2. I think the initial line should of been higher, so that is why I went with Charlotte.

When Minny blew them out, Two Northwestern players, including Coble were really sick with the flu and I think Moore got hurt during that game also and missed a huge part of the game

That combined with how bad Minny has played down the stretch was probably a big factor

Makes sense. Still think they lines have been a little off.
