Can someone explain me St. Johns -7 vs Incarnate Word line?

[99steak]

What am I missing here? The letdown factor for St. Johns after beating Syracause can't be that big against a division 2 team that just lost to some scrap prep school that is not even in division 2.

So tempted to put some money on st. johns -7 but i usually suck when i come up with my own bets.

 

[CarolinaKid]

they are division 1 and i like the dog in this game tonite+7

The Incarnate Word Cardinals men's basketball team represents the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, United States. Beginning in 2013, the Cardinals made the jump to NCAA Division I and joined the Southland Conference

Interesting. Never heard of them until this year, so i assumed they are division two. They lost to some team in their last game that looked like a high school team.

Why you like the dog..because of the letdown factor?

I saw in another forum someone mentioning how they lost all 4 of their road games by an average of 20 points!

They have a pretty decent team, that can shoot the ball

Chris knows what to do for this young team not to lay down

 

[shdw01]

[99steak]

but results are terrible this year, especially on the road.

 

[CarolinaKid]

line back to 7.5

 

[99steak]

So did some more research and i learned that Incarnate Word is #8 in forcing turnovers and they play full court pressure. St. Johns is one of the worst teams in terms of turnovers. But Inarnate Word is terrible in rebounds and johns should dominate.

SO looks like it might be a close game and the covering is going to depend on if they are going to make meaning less foulds in the last min of the game. I am not going to put anything on this game.

 

[JudgeWapner]

I took some Incarnate Word to your mother.

 

[99steak]

st. johns got raped. lol.

 

[TheFalls]

Wow they got smoked.
By incarnate word? Wow

Never in my life could I have pictured...

 

[HamGlaze]

Yeah well this college is Incarnate Word's worse nightmare on the court; For Unlawful Carnal College.

 

[Betallsports]

played worst than a HS team...

 

[DogDaze]

Glad I followed Sherwood on this one!

 

[JustinCruise]

Glad I followed Sherwood on this one!

Sherwood is a genius

 

[BrewMan]

Kentucky lost to Ohio State
Ohio State lost to UCONN
UCONN lost to Syracuse
Syracuse lost to St. John's
St. John's lost to Incarnate Word
Incarnate Word lost to Our Lady of the Lake (seriously!)

Therefore Our Lady of the Lake would be the best team in the SEC.

Where does Houston Baptist fit in? They are D 1. Houston Baptist vs. Our Lady of the Lake for National Championship.
