I got Memphis at -9.5.

Do these oddsmakers know that Marshall isn’t coaching anymore?

IB has no clue how to play against Memphis. He basically says the players have to improvise. That's the ticket, play YMCA ball against Memphis.

From the article:

You’ve got to go make basketball plays. It’s unscripted. You’ve got to go in there and make things happen and you’ve got to make good decisions.

If you make it to half-time, pat yourself on the back! Last guy to turn off the TV wins!

That's assuming the stream is up and viewable by halftime.

It's on U

I was shocked when I saw the line just now at 9.5. There's no way WSU keeps it under 10. I'm not sure they keep it under 20.

I'm tempted to throw 100 on Memphis covering. It's going to take a miracle to keep this close. Even our best teams couldn't win in Memphis. Maybe I'm missing a win, but I don't think we've won in FedEx since moving to the American.

Edit: We won in 17-18...so five years ago.

Line is only Memphis +10, if you want some free money

I assume you've already at least made plans for your new money, if not actually spent it?

[WuDrWu]

If you're gunna rely on out dawgin' dawgs, you better damn well have the dawgs.

From the article:

They press, they switch one through five and they don’t allow you to run plays. You’ve got to go make basketball plays. It’s unscripted. You’ve got to go in there and make things happen and you’ve got to make good decisions.

Our familiarity with running no offensive plays will catch them off-guard and we keep it within 14

Our familiarity with running no offensive plays will catch them off-guard and we keep it within 14

unlike most teams, that roll out the red carpet and watch you run your plays with full support and enthusiasm

[WuDrWu]

Our plan to dribble into double teams, especially in corners and just after crossing half court, will confuse the Tigers and likely force a ton of missed windmill dunk attempts. Bold & cunning strategy.

[shox7]

No doubt brilliant when they also miss the follow dunk attempt as well. That is the kind a game planning we are capable of with a year to prepare.

For some reason, the SHOCKS always get Memphis best effort...the Curse of Alex Lomax....20 point loss, if THAT close...
