now everyone knows that the overnite line betwwen west va and syr was 1 or 2 pts west va favored
there was a 6 ot game that had to get factored into the line for syr/wvu , the oddsmakers decide to move the line 4/5.5 points
again explain to me how west va could be a 1 or 2 pt underdog to 'ville
are we to believe that if wvu had beaten syr they would have been in a pickem game (1 pt either) way against the cards?

Louisville would be a 2 to 3 point favorite over West Virginia right now and would be a 14 point favorite if they played Providence now.
Just for the record, I went and checked the Sagarin predictor against the sportsbook.com lines for every tournament game and the only one off by more than 2 points was Illinois/Western Kentucky and that is solely due to Illinois being without their point guard.
