Vegas Odds: Southern Illinois at Wichita State

[WuShock Reaper]

The Wichita State Shockers opened up as 17.0 favorites this evening, then moved to 16.0.

[SubGod22]

We're covering this one.

[rrshock]

Big spread. I agree with Sub that it gets covered.

[Trueshock]

WE should cover that spread on a bad night against SIU.

[ShockBand]

Yeah, but was it two or three years ago that I expected us to stomp the Ancient Egyptian Dogs at home, and we ended up having one of the worst losses in recent memory? I'm hoping this year's team has the mentality to take 'em to the woodshed early and often.

[WuShock Reaper]

The Shockers are still 16.0 favorites this morning, while the Salukis are still the dog.

Two years ago. I was there and that was the last one I went to. I cursed them and haven't been back since. They should have kick the %^&$ out of SIU that night. WSU played like poo. I don't expect that this time.

It's amazing how far the ugly dogs have fallen.

Yes and if you are thinking of the same loss as I am, the loss cost the Shockers a conference championship.

My #1 rule in betting, never bet on games where you have an emotional investment. Having said that, college basketball games are the easiest sport to make money on, IMO.

[Ricardo del Rio]

Now -15.

[MadaboutWu]

I like the Shox covering too. But I follow Spaulding's advice and do not bet on WSU.

[pogo]

Now -15.

When it gets to 10 I'm all over it like ugly on an ape.

[rrshock]

Or like ugly on a saluki. Those dogs are hideous looking.
