West Virginia vs Texas Tech
- Thread starter VulvHa
- Start date
WVU is the better team, but it's gonna be tough on their home floor. Expecting a close loss.
If it gets to 5.5 I'd definitely take wvu and the points...
As great a WVA has been I believe it would be dumb to bet on them to win on the road until they prove they can. One thing I've learned in the past is that it is pointless to evaluate WVA based on how they play at home since they enjoy a massive home court advantage and often look much worse on the road.
They’re on the road, which makes a big difference. West Virginia at home against TT would be greater than 4.5 pts favs.
West Virginia is getting 4.5 pts. They don’t have to win the game to win the bet.
That's not true at all.
WVU beats KU every year in Morgantown. That makes us the better team the past 4 years, or whatever it's been?

We have road wins at Pitt, Kansas State, Oklahoma State... this one will be a lot harder though.
We get one of our best players back from a 16 game suspension today.
Will make this team much better in the long run, but hopefully it doesn't throw them off today while they adjust to playing with him in the lineup.
that's what I'm saying. WVA has to prove it on the road vs a very good team before I drink the kool aid. Been burned in the past by falling in love with WVA after watching them kill somebody at home.
I personally don't think there is a team in the country that has a better home court advantage than WVA given the ultra aggressive way they play.
Last year I think we were 7-4 in true road games. Wins @ UVA, Iowa State, Oklahoma, TCU, Ok State, Texas, and one other.
Losses @ Kansas (blew a huge lead late), Baylor, K-State and Texas Tech.
That team last year was a lot older than this team though. This group definitely needs to prove itself on the road against a good team.
We dropped a few games at home last year that we shouldn't have.
Never bet a spread in Lubbock.
It's an afternoon game, so the full crazies won't be out... But many top teams know what it is like to try and get out of there with a W at all.

I'm sure you have never bet on games if you really believe it always/usually works like that.
And as a WVU fan I also think WVU will lose in a close one.
I just took WVU on the money line +170 actually. Love a good Hedge bet.. I will pay to win games all day or make money.
Either way
Either way
Damn this game has been fun to watch!! Now both teams trading buckets....welcome back Esa Ahmad as he's playing well right out of the gates.
I thought so too and it wasn't even close. Konte hung on the rim before the shot got there.
Game over...
TTU made everything they threw up in this 2nd half.

Tech just literally pulled the chair out from under Carter. I know Carter wanted a foul but it looked at the very last second Tech cleared out.
Kansas tied for first place now, you must be pleased as a jayhawk by this result
I haven’t seen him play hmm. Must have missed it. I always thought he was a baller
. Yes if you’re truly that much better (hence wvu fans clamoring to be #1) you go on the road and win tough games. If you don’t, you’re just another good team in the long run. Aka, look at our recent tourney runs.
I didn't see him out there for a decent stretch of time either. I went to check the box score just to see myself.
We are pleased as garbage as we are. No doubt we get dump trucked Monday night though.
Shut up. That's just stupid. It's a top 10 road game.WVU is clearly the better team of these 2.
Won't be that close in Morgantown, and we win on a neutral court too.
