    I’m sure Vegas is viewing this as the classic trap game. Wounded team playing a highly ranked team at home who may be looking to the next game. But No. 4 at home against an unranked team on a losing streak and it’s -4.5? Vegas can be wrong,,..but I’m wondering if they don’t have some inside info. That low number scares the hell out of me.

I hope Vegas is very wrong about this. Basically, Vegas thinks we are in for another very tight game.

    If this were two random teams and I saw this line, I’d take the points. (No. 4 at home against unranked team)
    I watched the game at SH again today. Without an unbelievable game by JP we are not even inthat game. We will need a lot more balance and steady performances tomorrow to keep from losing let alone covering.

    I am surprised X is only favored by 4.5. You get like 3.5 to 4 pts for just being the home team and X already won at Seton Hall and is considered better so not understanding the point spread.

    Recent form at the end of regulation the last three games: +1. Before that St. John. We're due, most neutrals would say. I don't think many teams that are highly rated have won all home games. And none but X in the BE.

    Personally, I see a 10 point win in the friendly confines. But if that's not the case, we'll make free throws and play the last 4 min like we have all year. These guys are money.
    It's a still great day to be a Muskie, but a sad day to be a supporting member of this board.

    I will say that's true, where other teams seem to fold up in crunch time, I have great confidence in X down the stretch in a tight one, we've just showed time and time again we have the toughness to get it done. Looking for more of the same if that situation arises.

    At this point in the year, they're all tough. I'd be shocked if tonight was easy.
