Game @ UIC

[PANTHERfan]

for what it's worth, Mejia has us picked to win:
Milwaukee 84, UIC 72

Milwaukee was a 3 1/2 point favorite this morning on America's Line.

Not that I go by anything Mejia says. How many times I have been burned there. But this is an easy money game. If Bowen is not playing this is even better. I have no problem putting my money on UWM in this case no way this game is that close.

Is there any word about Bowen? ... I can't imagine him being sit down for this game. But maybe if Jimmy wants to start teaching his players about respect ...

Good to hear that a lot of students will come to Chicago tonight. I follow UWM basketball since 1990 and moved to Chicago in 1996, so I always look forward to the games at UIC (10 minutes away from work and Loyola. See you guys (and girls) tonight.

I can't believe the line is that close........if there was ever a game to bet on, this is it - IMHO.

[Hack]

I think Cleveland State was the first time since the Memphis game ... or probably the Tenn. Tech game ... where UWM didn't cover.

... and for those of us who earn money the hard way: How do I interpret, for example, "Hawaii W 58-52 Regular Season -5.5/139 W/U " ? (I have no clue)

[Kingsbury]

For the Hawaii game the Panthers closed at a - 5.5 (favored to win by 5.5) and 139 was the over/under total points scored in the game. The Panthers won by 6 (they covered the spread = W) and the total points scored was 110 what was Under the O/U line of 139

[Hack]

That means UWM was favored by 5.5 points for the game. UWM covered the spread, winning by 6. Those who picked UWM won the bet.

The 139 is the over/under ... the total points for the game was 110, so those who picked the Under won the bet.

Hey, this is hard too. ;D It's easy to just pick the winner of the game.

[uwmpanther]

I see, there are actually two bets involved. Thanks, HackPanther & Kingsbury.

[Womack]

Lets go get a win at the Pav tonight boys n girls

[bball30]

"all broadcasts will also be made available as part of Time Warner Cable's On-Demand programming. These internet broadcasts are in addition to UWM's extensive local television package on WMLW"

Anyone know what the deal is with this on demand???

[mcdadenets50]

Justin Bowen will play but not start according to UIC Asst Coach Mark Coomes.
