Concerned about this game because of course the fact that it’s on the road, but maybe more so from the standpoint of who Wisc has beaten. Mich St twice, PSU, OSU, etc. I actually do like the fact that Wisc plays a slower tempo. We need to hang around and ultimately get it done in the late stages.

Minor correction - UW split with MSU, but swept OSU.

I could see people betting either way..... I can see this as a game where RU falls behind by 10 early, makes a few charges to either get within a basket, a one point lead with a few minutes to go....then fall behind by five into the last minute....only to have to resort to fouling, and thus losing by more than the point spread......

that would not make us 10 points worse than Wisconsin, but losing by that.....

I hope it does not play out that way, the key is very good starts in both halves, no long droughts, and not blowing the G-DAMM layups!

A word of warning about "laying" them. Wisconsin(H 12-1) lone loss at home is against Illinois 70-71. Our team matchs up against Wisconsin like Illinois does. They also had close wins against MSU, Md and Purdue at home. It will be a close game, hope we learn to close today.

Well, not a real far off forecast. Instead of going down 10. More like 15. Thought we would close to within 5 near the end Got to within 6
Free throws will keep it over the spread

Would rather be way wrong and win

Putting the $$ on Wisconsin would have been the winning bet, but I am enough of a homer that I see no benefit to posting anti-RU messages on our board.

It wasn’t an anti ru message . It was point spread thread .

You don’t bet against your team. If you think they’re gonna lose, even if you’re ultra confident, then you don’t bet the game.

No way on earth you’re getting an apology from me here. Betting against your team is a dick move.

Why did you come into a thread talking about point spreads ?
