Serious question: do our players follow the point spread on the upcoming game?

My guess, yes. But I don't think that it effects their motivation one bit. At least that's my hope.

As a non-bettor, I don't, and they can't bet, so I figure they don't. Maybe too simplistic.

Betting lines are everywhere now. They are shown on all the sports channels on the ticker tape at the bottom. There are also a slew of shows dedicated to betting. The lines are virtually impossible to avoid if you are a sports fan. I have a hard time believing that at some of the  kids don't take a peak, out of curiosity. Then they share with the others.  Not for any illicit purpose, just because it's there.  
 
Beast, or our 40 mins of  hell turns out to do what we usually do give wide open 3s  Some how we have to play great D switch off to cover the 3s and get back in position look out for  back door ,rebound and shoot the 3s well ourself  Champ has to do more than just show up and maybe we can win But I would bet on this game
 
I hope we don’t see lots of chasing the three-point shooter defense on Saturday.
 
I am real excited today for this game.  I am keeping my expectations low.  But this is a chance to knock off the number 14 team in the country. It would be a season saving win when we desperately need one.

I am hoping we see more Coburn today and also the lineup w/ stanley and Nwiye on the floor at the same time.
 
 
The ESPN matchup predictor gives us a 5.6% chance to win the game. We are huge underdogs. I really hope I don't read people getting disappointed if (when) we lose the game.

Lose by 1 or lose by 20, the complaints will just keep on coming.

ESPN predictor of that happening is zero percent.

40 min of hell might be easier for them to take in. While practice is going on might be a place mike might be able to break things down and go over things again and again. By the time big east tourny rolls around I hope the kids get some of that. In some ways I think he's coaching for next year. I was surprised when I heard some of these kids will be back for a second year. Does the board think thats a good thing. This post was supposed to follow US Guards post

The only chance SJU has if the team that played SH at SH shows up and not the one that played SH at CA. The pressure defense will allow Vill some open looks but if they are not hitting them maybe.
 
We have a history of paying Nova tough, but we must play 40 minutes.  Jay Wright teams know how to finish games.  Those last 10 minutes is when he leverages their strengths and exposes the opponent's weakness.  Sure we can win, but it will take good shooting and an effort much like we saw at Seton Hall.

Id like to see Coburn as the first kid off the bench today.

I’d like to see both Coburn and Smith get more minutes this game. Nova is not a big team per se. I wouldn’t mind seeing a lineup of Posh, Smith, Coburn, Champ and Wheeler out there for certain stretches.
