Lines opened at -7. They have since jumped to 7.5 all the way up to 8.5. Will probably see further action pushing it higher.
I think the line will probably end up around 10 and the game will end up with a 17 point Coog victory.

No Adams Vegas may take this game down. I’d have no problem betting UH until it got to -10. Coogs 66-52.

From the Uconn Boneyard re the game tomorrow: People on this board making it seem like this is Phi Slamma Jamma we are playing. Houston is a good team with half their team either jucos or transfers. Sampson doesn’t grind in recruiting like Hurley about too. Not saying we are going to win but this Houston team has only played a couple road games and have only beaten two ranked teams all year cincy and LSU and one of those teams isn’t ranked anymore. I think we play hard and make them work for this one tough travel from Houston to Hartford. Boneyard have some pride.
With that attitude, I hope we win by 20+.

UH wins 83-73.
76-58 Coogs. I think their guards will struggle to score against ours, especially with Adams not playing.

Most of the fans posting on the Boneyard are pretty well informed and realistic, as far as I’ve noticed. Though like some posters on any board (hint, hint) there are always going to be the extremists or the uninformed and/or unrealistic.

UCONN 57- Coogs 71

Traditional pick for the year: Its a road game. It will be cold as hell has been ever since the Astros won the World Series; and that walk from the bus into the stadium will stiffen us up. We have a horrible first half, but it warms us up. We storm back in the second half and look unstoppable, but this is the AAC and we are on the road so the refs step in and hand us our second loss to the zebras. Coogs lose 68-67.

Coogs are NOT going to lose this game too much riding on it they will be ready!

I hope the guy from Philadelphia is not officiating, nor the bald headed character that
handled our Cin game. Both should be banned.

I’m also thinking that tonight is going to be one of those nights where Armoni gets hot and hits 5 threes, bouncing back from a poor shooting night in the Cincy game.
No game day thread today. First time that’s happened. Hope the players aren’t taking this game lightly like the fans. Smells like a trap game.

Boneyard forgot to mention that Oregon was ranked when we beat them.

If I was to pick a stumbling block for the Coogs the rest of the way (other than AT Cincinnati on March 10), tonight’s game would be it.
I hope I’m wrong, but I think this game has ‘let-down’ written all over it. Even if the Coogs win, I’m envisioning UConn makes it quite difficult.
Even without Jalen Adams, the computer simulations give the Coogs only a slight edge tonight, winning less than 57% of random matchups. There is also a better than 36% probability the game is close (within five points).
Doing the simulations before the Adams injury, the Huskies actually had a solid edge in this game with a better than 60-percent success rate.
So, UConn can match up, and Coogs need to be on ultra alert, especially if the shots aren’t falling.
At the end of the day, though, I believe Sampson’s management and the absence of Adams will allow the Coogs to find a way to escape – even if they will still have to slug it out.
Coogs 62
UConn 59
UConn might’ve been a trap game for our football squad, but coogs take care of business tonight. 73-61.

Why would this game be so close? 23-1 vs 13-11, and UConn without their leading scorer. I don’t see the Coogs looking past anybody with Sampson at the helm. Looking forward to watching the game!
