-10.5 pts correct? Interesting observation. I used to track and create stochastics on that. Don't have the time any longer.
Disagree about inferring that from the line. Prior to the Andrej injury and now, kenpom and torvik both had this game about 10-11. Both systems do not address for injuries either and torvik has this game at exactly 11. Again, it doesn’t mean either are playing but the advanced metrics indicate this is an 11 point game regardless of injuries.
It’s really not surprising, Torvik has Indiana ahead of Wisconsin and kenpom just barely behind. Advanced metrics effectively has both as nearly identical even if we all think Wisconsin is far better due to their recent play.
It’s 10.5
I might have mis-stated - we are giving 10.5 tomorrow. If that's the case, my bad
Hold on a minute. There is negative correlation to metrics and Kenpom rating and point spread. The two are completely unrelated. The most successful basketball bets are betting against KenPom ratings.
What are you hearing? A 10.5 point favorite tells me that at least one is coming back. When you're a double digit favorite there's a believe in a comfortable win. I don't think it'll be comfortable with both out.
Really, that is pathetic.. don’t they think he knew no there was no way he could go.
Sad, how selfish some fans can be.
