Not sure how statsheet generates their odds, but it looks like the line is Valpo +9 from the Wynn.

[valpo64]

Today's line is Valpo by 10

Valpo 75
ETSU 67

I expect a big, efficient game from Jubril. His ability to finish around the rim against a team that is vertically challenged should give us a big boost tonight. Him, along with Vashil and Keith staying on the floor, will be the X factors.

Bovada has an 8.5 point spread, let's put a $1 on it.

[valpo64]

8, 8.5, 10 or even win by 20...let's just win the game!      GO VALPO!

Statsheet's spread represents an average of multiple bookmaker spreads.  Right now they are showing Valpo -8.5.

Tevonn,

Bienvenue sur le babillard.

As we get ready to kick off another season, this video always reminds me of what a special basketball program we are privileged to support:

All-Access with Valparaiso Basketball

espn has recorded technical difficulties for the past 4 minutes....

[LaPorteAveApostle]

came back for me about the time you posted it.

Do you feel like we've watched this game before?  somebody shoots out of their mind and hangs around and we go on a mini-run at the end to open it up?  ...ok, sometimes it's been the other way around too

also, wow...anyone else think we started the wrong Walker?  What a stroke!

[bbtds]

I just can't seem to remember his first name. Tavien Walker, correct?

Now all we need to do is match their 2nd half & we meet the spread.

[oklahomamick]

how many bunnies did Jubril miss??? 

[oklahomamick]

Kansas City up on Missouri by double digits....21-11.

[LaPorteAveApostle]

Kansas City up on Missouri

Also up on Kansas

bbtds:  non funny

COULD WE GET SOME INTERIOR DEFENSE?  And make our layups?

It's a new season but some of the same problems.  (Everyone hated on Moussa last year but he wouldn't have let hardly ANY of these sprints to the rack happen.)

[bbtds]

I almost feel Bryce must be reading the board. Alec has been out a long time.

[FWalum]

Really like what I am seeing from the newcomers.  Maybe the Commissioner needs to reconsider his assessment of the Canadian Tevonn Walker.  Darien Walker has been very good and David Skara has been extremely impressive.

[LaPorteAveApostle]

This is impressive strength when we could have folded given their late run.  Never surrendered the lead.

We may be best running the 3 guards--WCW (Walker-Carter-Walker).  Together they had a +/- of +48 between them.  (With Peters, +58).

(We may have to, with Vashil in foul trouble all the ding dong time.)

Plus-minus is a wonky stat in b-ball though...Skara had 11 points in 15 min, but was the only minus player at -2.

[beastkiller]

So do you still think they r starting the wrong walker

[LaPorteAveApostle]

well, i was joking.  but certainly if darien could hit his FTs that would help his case.

I don't know that they're mutually exclusive (T & D).

This Walker Bros. thing might catch on.

[valpotx]

Obviously Beastkiller has a stake in Tevonn Walker doing well .  Family or friend, it doesn't matter, as he is a really good player!

This was a great game for us, with a young team.  I really like Skara being able to spell Fernandez or Peters, as needed.  Thinking about all of the players we have returning next season with the two additions, it is hard to stay focused on this season, which will be a good one as well!  Anyone rethinking their dismal season projection?  I was one of a rare few that picked the OVER on 20 wins .

[historyman]

This Walker Bros. thing might catch on.

One thing I know, our walkers have wheels!

[rink]

Nice showing. Almost gave it away when they applied pressure, gotta get better against the press. Peters and T Walker impressed mightily. Skara too.
