Nothing like being 18.5 pt dog @ Purdue

[Spaulding!No!]

Dangerously close to game time... Where is that man Stan?!

Someone has to step up. Go sixer go! Wait Stan’s here.

Just because they haven't doesn't mean they won't at some point this season. Once upon a time a very bad Joey King led Gophers team beat a 6th ranked Maryland team.

I understand that but your post indicated that the Gophers have been a team of extremes this season: good or really bad. For the most part, they've been consistently mediocre so far.

TT isn't with the team?

Gophers only +4.5 against Michigan. Am I missing something? Mortgage already bet on the Wolverines. But curious line.

Looks like it's now Purdue -20

I got it at +19 at Red Rock/Station. Push.

I had an inkling that Painter would show some mercy.

Only if you lose

The analytics on t-rank currently have Michigan as a weakling Wednesday participant - they have Michigan favored by 3.6, so maybe the line’s too high. Their numbers are much worse than their perception (though still quite a bit better than MN), and Vegas knows what they’re doing. Also, they played a game overseas a few days ago and lost a starting guard for the year in that contest.

This is a golden opportunity.

100%. This game is there to be had. Time for the fellas' to show us they've learned something in the first 8 games.

I really thought Howard was going to have U Mich on the rise, what the heck happened?

Howard has a reputation as a good recruiter, but when you bring in high-end players, they also bolt after a year. They lost a couple players to the draft, and then when they brought in a transfer PG (Llewellyn - the player who is now out for the year), the PG who was already on the roster transferred out. They now have only 2 healthy guards on their roster, and one of them is a true freshman. They are still very talented, and they have a good x-and-o guy on the bench in Phil Martelli, but they may be playing a little bit as a group of individual talents rather than as a team.

Get the boys ready Ben. Play your best and earn some respect!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

And you will eventually.

I’m betting like $50. Relax man.

I’m going to the Barn tonight and I expect a Gopher win because I’m going to the Barn tonight.

I don’t care what Vegas knows. They haven’t subjected themselves to the same level of torture I have.

Sweat free cover.
