Not sure, but, don't you think that around 70% or more of the public would be all over ok st if they were only laying 1 or 2?

uncmike

yes I do.
I feel books are try'in to push the public to Georgia Tech.
I'm not budging......LOL

[uncmike324]

wiz don't you think the line could be this high because the game is in Texas and figures to be somewhat like a home game for the Cowboys? I think it could be a definate advantage and homecourt could cause a 3 pt. swing.

you may be right, but I'm not sure it would be a 3 point advantage.
Texas is a bordering state, but one very large state. I'm sure the people in Texas are not all that fond of Oklahoma St after they handed it to the home boys a couple of times.....LOL
I see you are on G Tech yourself, and you make a statement about the line being to high.
Best Of Luck

True. That's also a good point cause i'm sure many Texas fans bought tickets thinking the Longhorns might be there. I really think Okla St wins a very close game but it is definately a tougher game to cap with all the circumstances surrounding it.

Good Luck today!

Over the last five games...

Ok St shot Over 50% and allowed 36.5% from the floor against better teams.

GT shot 44.6% and allowed 41% against easier.

Ok St left Joe's in the game by giving them 7 more turnovers.

I'm thinking Ok St's last game wasn't their best and they still won against a very good St Joes team, just ask Martelli how good they are. GT pretty much left it on the court with their last win. They did allow Kansas back in and then had to dominate OT. Ok St has a good idea now of what GT will try to do when Elder is not in the lineup. Sutton's team has the ability to adjust better to the opposition's game plan. GT has been on a nice run but the stronger team will win here. Favorites of 4-6 are 12-4 SU & ATS in the final four round since '87. As I said, Ok St has more of an up side while GT may have played their best game.
