Keshon and Curt out @ Houston

[KennyPratt42]

Seems a little suspect with this rumor coming out and then the lines moving immediately after.

Bettors bet based on social media and lines move based on bets.

Snagging 15 offensive rebounds and only getting 2 points off them would be one of the most impressive feats I've ever seen

He's kicking them back out for open 3s!

 

[CapnCy]

Part of me thinks...ok let injury and illness make us a 1 seed in 4/5 seed clothes and trash the whole thing.

Then I think, even at full strength this is the #1 or #2 degree of difficulty game to win in the entire game of college basketball this year so better this game than one of the others where we'd have a 95% chance of winning at full strength.

Yeah, i've kind of mentally had the same thought.....sure, may have to play a top team earlier....but you need to beat them anyway...so why not? We all know when we are clicking and healthy we can probably beat anyone?

Also....maybe we get Auburn when they have players out with the flu

 

[NWICY]

Quick someone look up the the flight records of carriage weight vs when the team flew with everyone on board STAT!

@wxman1 this seems like it would be your field of expertise

 

[CapnCy]

Man, what a bummer. This makes it really difficult to get excited for tomorrow. We'll be lucky to break 50

I know........i mean, WILD if we won without them......but if we lose without them does the committee flag it as a "of course they lost on the road to Houston with them out" and we are not penalized?

I would suspect the lines are moving (this quickly) because of the rumors, but that doesn't mean they're true. Betting is a fairly fickle business.

They would be moving quickly because it’s probably more likely true than not. Vegas knows before anyone else. Not sure how many whales on here (none) I would assume. So someone knows.

Vegas doesn’t move lines based on message board and Twitter rumors.

You gotta be shitting me.

They couldn't get sick anytime during these easier 4 game stretch? Ugh

Anyway, better now than during the NCAA tournament if you want to see the positive but you have to look really hard to see the positive.

You would assume so, however, I feel like you never know with the commitee

 

[cytor]

I’m more upset about your spelling of flu more than anything

What does it matter? They have the flew. It's not good if it's true

 

[NoCreativity]

They should go ahead and play the entire game then just not shake hands at the end so Houston doesn't get infected.

My friend works out at a jiu jitsu/mma gym and every single one of them got the flu really bad two weeks ago.

 

[ForeverIowan]

Its the F'ing Nojus Indrusaitis game! The game that launches his career. LFG!

It was kind of a joke, did you see Illinois the other night?

 

[not-the-manager]

Sooo Lipsey will play damn near 40:00 and have to not turn it over with a broken thumb. Houston will blanket Momcilovic. Jefferson won’t be able to bully Roberts. Unless Jackson has 38 you probably get blown out and your offensive efficiency drops out of the top 20, unlikely to return. awesome. Really just, super, totally, very cool and awesome /s

 

[HFCS]

they didn't shake because that stopped the flu? Yeah that's silly, maybe for the coaches and bench guys it makes sense.

They've should've talked to Brad Underwood, he has a secret that makes not contagious as long as you don't shake hands!

All movement is the result of this thread on CF! Impressive!

 

[theshadow]

I heard they quit the team because of Cytown taking their parking spot.

I think you mean the floo

Hmmmmmm.....so you are hinting that Cujo and Gilbert are working out in mixed martial arts and we will see the 'Dustin Hogue flying kick" move again to propel us in the big dance. Book that rumor!
