Pre-Game Thread: vs Cincinnati (01/05/23)

Will go to my grave knowing that Mark barking at his team getting PASTED at home vs SIU was one of my favorite CKA moments ever.

11-0, 25-11, 43-20 with just over 2 to go in the half. At home. With just over 16 to go in the 2nd half, Burns hit a 3 to make it 50-49 Shocks.

There is zero chance that Porter is 100% by Thursday. He might be good enough to play, but you don't get to 100% this quickly with that injury. He's likely to not be 100% the rest of the year.

Sprained mine when I was 21 after going up to block a fast break layup. I was on crutches for a couple weeks and it swole up every time I ran on it after that even years later. Doctor said ligaments we're getting too thin after being torn so many times. I'm 66 now and it still bothers me in certain circumstances. So, no I can't believe he is 100% either.

It’s IB trying to throw Cincy off and garner any kind of advantage he can get. He’s gonna need it.

What was our losing streak to start conference play last year? 0-6? We MIGHT beat USF and Tulsa, but other than that I'm not sure where our wins come from.

I don't know if it was the same mic grab by Turgeon, but I remember "I know what you want, and we're going to get it."

Shockers open as 1.0 favorites.

Must be moving fast...I just bet it and got Cincy at -2

[SubGod22]

Even at Cincy -2 you should be pretty safe.

It's still sitting at -2.5 and I'm debating a larger one. Someone talk me out of thinking this may be the easiest money I've seen in a while (and I hit ECU saturday for a decent amount)

[forevershockerfan]

Here's the deal. The Shockers are so due, but we will win by only 2. Don't bet the farm or listen to me because I am only 7-7 on predictions this Season.

Shockers 70

Bearcats 68

How are the Shocks favored?? That has to be a mistake. Easiest money ever unfortunately.

They're not anymore.

One thing I have learned, and it applies to gambling, is that if it looks to good to be true be careful. The line smells and the movement suggests bets are heavier on Cincy and I always like to be on the house's side, therefore, I'm switching to the shocks 63-60

Personally - I disagree with that fully. I know a few guys who will strictly bet based on trends, stats, and line movement and they aren't that good at it. You may end up being correct - I just don't see anyway this isn't a rout.

If anyone has 1 spare for tonight, let me know.
