Anyone know how a strained MCL would effect a player? Is it pain management? is it fatigue? is it the ability to cut? I simply do not know

Yes. I missed 2 preseason games when I was a junior because of it. I had an MRI so I know it was an mcl sprain. They heal fairly quickly. 2-3 weeks max. Thing about it is it just feels a little bit uncomfortable, not much pain involved. But you know something is off. It was more of a risk thing. If it was games that meant something I would've played.

Also depends on what type of player you are. Kansas center goes for rebounds and dunks every other play. Kyle guy is a born shooter. Not sure if it will effect him all that much

Ok just saw the box score. He did kill it and had 7 boards. Louisville is trash though. This year more than others imo have more trash college basketball teams than I have ever seen before.

Oklahoma biggest trash team I've ever seen have a shot at a ncaa bid. Mcgusty off the bench is their only other good player.

Nice hit. I was at the sportsbook watching the Nevada UNLV game today. Nevada was a -5.5, everyone was on and rooting for Nevada in a packed house. Nevada ended up winning by 4, and at the end everyone was kind of half ass clapping because their team won, but not with much enthusiasm since they didn't cover. There was no line to cash tickets with a packed house.

You're right they won by 5 Just missing the cover by a half point. There was like one guy in line cashing the moneyline, bragging about it.

The vast majority of my offshore picks have been correct. It's not noticeable because nobody responds on those and it falls off the radar. When it's a loss the thread goes to 3 pages. But that's not just with me that's the nature of the RX in general. No biggie.
Omg lol

Sportsbooks will be crazy over the next few weeks

given this is my city, I follow them closely.

Kyle guy is this teams xfactor and offensive leader. he scores 14 ppg... no matter how much you know about this virginia team... it recently came out he has a sprained MCL and will continue to play. Fade virginia or no play is the only play for a while unless Guy can prove he can play with that strain. this team still lacks super talent. Guy is that level of talent and they will need him.

What do you see Virginia doing in the tournament?

Its a really hard question to answer. They play such great team ball. Obviously their pack line defense has been shutting down teams for several years now. It's definitely a special defense. I just don't see the talent that other teams have...

Jerome, Hall, Hunter and Guy give the team a ton of depth at guard, but most of the top teams probably have at least one guard with more talent. Guy is still young.

They have good size, but not its for defense and rebounding. No idea where I can back this up with stats, but if had to guess they rank pretty low in interior scoring.

Simply put, I don't trust them as a favorite. The team that will beat them will have great perimeter defense and one on one defenders.

I would not advise taking the over in any of their games.

Surprised to see UVA laying 4 or 4.5 today. Wasn't planning on hedging this, but that line has me considering it.
