Both NC. St. men's and women's teams in the final 4

 

[Willie Neslon]

Unbelievable. What odds could you have gotten on NC St to reach the Final 4 before the ACC tournament started?

 

[General Malaise]

Whatever happened to the Wolfpack girl?

 

[whoknew]

Unbelievable. What odds could you have gotten on NC St to reach the Final 4 before the ACC tournament started?

Reminiscent of the Kemba Walker UConn run.

+10,000 it looks like

 

[Capella]

I’ve gotten my rear crushed betting this tournament but NCSU +6.5 is a lot higher than I figured it would be. Thought it’d be 3.5

This kind of made up for a hilariously bad first 3 rounds. Loaded that one pretty good.

I think UConn kills Bama next round. Going on that 11.5.

 

[urbanhack]

I paid $200 on the hedge taking the points with Tennessee to see Purdue in Final Four. Probably do the same thing with NC state. Haha

Unbelievable. What odds could you have gotten on NC St to reach the Final 4 before the ACC tournament started?

+10,000 it looks like

I was just wondering this today. +10000 actually doesn’t seem high enough. They lost 10 of their last 14 regular season games, many of them against bottom half ACC teams. They were down double digits in their Tuesday ACC 1st round game. If I remember right, UConn; when they had their similar run years back, was considered a bubble team after winning a couple games in their tournament. NC State was definitely not getting in unless they won it.

Ugh, nevermind. Too much wine on Easter. but it was good.

 

[General Malaise]

I don't think $10 wagered on +10000 = $100,000 if victorious.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I don't think $10 wagered on +10000 = $100,000 if victorious.

Yep +10,000 is 100:1 so $1000 on a $10 bet.

 

[The Z Machine]

And they were +10000 to get to the final four, not win the tournament.

This was apparently discovered by a Redditor. A fan in attendance alerted game officials in Portland.

I actually was looking at the odds at the beginning of the NCAA tournament and now see that Willie said before the ACC tournament started.

Looks like they were +8000 to win the ACC tournament.

Not 100% sure how to combine those 2 numbers, but I guess that would give you an idea. Realistically, I doubt the books would have had on anything more than +100,000.

Precisely what Jesus would have wanted.

[Long Ball Larry]

These matchups tonight are really sizzling

 

[General Malaise]

Oh man, I have to go buy my kids soccer cleats. Ugh.

 

[Capella]

These matchups tonight are really sizzling

Tonight may be better than either final four.

 

[TripItUp]

LSU and the points seems like the sharp side. Caitlin the public side I would imagine.

Anybody have a strong opinion here?

I might not make it through the pre-game show

I'm so old

 

[dickey moe]

Clark has been a TO machine this first quarter.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Clark has been a TO machine this first quarter.

She’s not really dialed in from long range either but keeps shooting them. She may need to look to drive more and either take it to the rim or kick it out to her teammates.

 

[TripItUp]

loving my LSU +2.5 bet

fade the media hype

 

[Capella]

Well I didn’t post earlier but I bet lsu. Somebody I trust on Twitter said their top-7 is way better than Iowa. Fun game so far!

 

[dickey moe]

45-45 at halftime. Fun game.

 

[The Gator]

Great half of ball

 

[Judge Smails]

This is the best night of women’s basketball. Caitlin vs Angel game 1. 45-45. Then JuJu vs Paige game 2. Both will be wars

 

[The Gator]

Ballsy betting against the GOAT

So much fun to watch and that stat about the depth of her 3s is WILD

 

[tri-man 47]

Yup - intriguing basketball. Iowa-LSU has been a helluva game.

 

[urbanhack]

Wow…just bombs

Or just keep shooting bombs. What do I know.

[Capella]

Clark is on one tonight. Wow.

 

[urbanhack]

If Iowa could just rebound…

 

[dickey moe]

Nothing's dropping for LSU.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

I don’t think most nba players could take the physical play of the women’s college games and the utter lack of whistles. It’s like watching the bad boy pistons playing the knicks.

 

[The Gator]

Clark is on one tonight. Wow.

I keep waiting to see flames come out from behind the ball when she shoots.

The officiating has been pretty uneven. They’re letting a lot of contact go most of the time but then have called some pretty minor things fouls.

 

[GroveDiesel]

If Iowa could just rebound…

LSU is way bigger than Iowa. They’re super athletic too. Their defense has been pretty smothering. Clark is just so good though that she can either hit while tightly defended or open things up for her teammates.

 

[Jayrod]

This is only the second time in my life I have ever intentionally turned on a women's basketball game. The first was when UCONN's winning streak was broken (South Carolina, I think?).

This is fun.

Mississippi State ended UConn's 111 game winning streak

Going to make you join a women's bracket next year with me. Watch Juju Watkins next. She is a frigging STAR! And in your backyard.
