All the rest of the action for Tuesday night. From now on, unless otherwise noted, the lines quoted are from Matchbook:
College Basketball
Syracuse +4 -113, 1.13 units to win 1 unit
Folks are underestimating Syracuse almost as much as they are overestimating Indiana. These kids are really, really good.
St. Louis +9.5 -110 (WSEX), 1.1 units to win 1 unit
Much better at the point, and otherwise fairly even, so I can't believe we're getting almost 10 points unless there's an injury I don't know about.
Loyola-Chicago +8.5 +110, 1 unit to win 1.1 units
Significant backcourt advantage for Loy-Chi, so as long as they can handle the Johnnies' size edge, they should easily stay within this number.
NBA
Oklahoma City +10 -103, 1.03 units to win 1 unit
I would feel more comfortable backing the Thundercats in a basketball game than the Thunder, but I guess you play the hand that you're dealt.
NHL
St. Louis +152, 0.5 units to win 0.76 units
Los Angeles +154, 0.5 units to win 0.77 units
I can't believe the hockey results have been better than hoops. Ridiculous, but if we get just one of these two, that's mo money in our pockets. Good luck everybody.

Don't wanna bore you but i guess you lost a day this week...
Ha. This is my brain on drugs. Maybe that was just wishful thinking that this short week was already over. Thanks for the catch.
How can anyone overestimate Indiana - oh, they'll play hard but they are starting four freshman and a walkon..........They will stay in some games for a half, maybe even win a Big 10 game they shouldnt but for the most part, they'll get their asses kicked most nights....If they lose by 38 on a neutral court to ND, how many would they have lost by at the Joyce Center to them......Crean is a great coach - they just dont have the depth and talent this yr after the Sampson fallout...He'll bring them back - in 2-3 years....This is just a survival yr...
I'm not saying that people who are paying attention will overestimate, but the lines have been giving them way too much credit (presumably, because the name "Indiana" makes casual bettors overestimate their abilities). They were only 15-point underdogs in the Notre Dame game you referenced, and 9 points yesterday vs. St. Joe's, so somebody out there is clearly overestimating them (or again, the books expect that the public will overestimate them). I just wish they would stop playing afternoon games, so I have a chance to get home and wager against them.
