If we make it to the 'Elite Eight'....does that get the monkey off of Barnes's back?

I heard that Bruce Springsteen is going to re-release Dancing in the Dark. Also heard he was changing up the lyrics some. I don't think I really like that. What's he gonna change next - his clothes, his hair, his face?









Disclaimer: If you don't get or appreciate this humor, it is either because you are too young or an unrefined cretin. TIA.

Lost all respect for Springsteen when he said he had a 396 with fuelie heads and when he said a pitcher threw a "speedball" buy him.
Everyone knows fuelie heads were for small blocks, pitchers throw fastballs and I doubt many speedballs got past him, probably why he pulls lyrics out of his azz.
And he was not born in the U.S.A., he's from New Jersey.

Moneyline bets on the Vols to win are 68/32. The handle (amount of money in play for the book), is a tighter split of 59/41 UT.

• Tennessee to win (-155): 68% bets, 59% handle
• Creighton to win (+130): 32% bets, 41% handle

Those looking to bet on Tennessee against the spread have to lay 3 points. At -3, UT is priced at -108. It would take a $108 bet on the Vols -3 to win $100.

Creighton is priced at -112 with 3 points. It would take a bet of $112 to win $100 on the Blue Jays with the points.

DraftKings’ splits again show that bettors like the Vols against the spread. In this instance, the handle split is wider than the bet split.

• Tennessee -3 (-108): 66% bets, 71% handle
• Creighton +3 (-112): 34% bets, 29% handle

To be honest I think it’s a bit unfair NOW. We’ve only been to back-to-back Sweet 16s twice, and we’ve only been out of the first weekend 10 times. Barnes is responsible for 3 of those.

Providence beat Creighton 2 out of 3 games this season and kept it close in the other one. Bet Barnes has been on the phone with his old assistant Kim English a lot this week

Damn good research too btw Mr. Fiddy.

 

[Vol423]

This is who I hoped we'd land. We need a scorer after Knecht. Reading he may be headed to OSU.

UT needs big men. The addition of a 6-2 guard to replace Knecht would be a step backward. UT will remain vulnerable to teams that dominate in the paint until it counters by adding legitimate big men of its own.

What time does the joke expire?

On here turrible jokes are like Twinkies, they have a shelf life of 75 years.

 

[Devo182]

I’m going

UNC (-4.5) over AL
Arizona (-6.5) over Clem
UConn (-11.5) over SDSU
ISU (-1.5) over Ill

I'm telling yall

Creighton is Charmin soft

Always has been. We can beat them by dbl digits.

They play an soft defense that's for sure, almost zone defense. If you can hit outside shots, not threes necessarily, you can have success against them.

UT is a 2-seed. They're expected to reach the Elite 8. Anything less is a disappointment.

I'd take Clemson and 6.5 pts against AZ.

Um, that’s not how probabilities work…

Probably not Cheggerboards has made up his mind, fire Barnes.

I didn't say anything about probabilities.

Probably should do a hypothesis test.

The biggest difference between the opossum and the armadillo is the opossum is not a carrier of Hansens disease( Leprosy). Over 20% of road kill-armadillos are infected with Hansens.

Yes, but it would now show that he went rather deep in the tournament perhaps lessening the critique that he does poorly. And of course, we have teams like KY that way underperform lately (compared to their ranking).

It is a dangerous disease. We had a terrible global outbreak in the '90s.
