Syracuse at UConn -3 O/U 139.5
Rumors bouncing around the web that a couple players at Syracuse
may be involved in some form of point shaving. The Orange are in the midst of an 0-4 SU, 0-4 ATS run, including a historically bad home loss to Seton Hall as 12.5-point favorites. None of the major media outlets have picked up the story so proceed with caution. Guard Scoop Jardine decided to respond via Twitter. He's not happy. The Cuse plays at UConn tonight. More to come...
Scoop Jardine, seemed disgusted by the talk. He responded via Twitter saying, "I love the game itself to much would never jeopardize everything I work so hard for with something like that! I play this game for free!!" He also went on to post on his Twitter, "don't ever disrespect me or my team like that again!!!! I love this game too much to do anything like (the rumors suggested)."
Just in case, here is Jardine's second half performance at Marquette last week. The Orange were two-point underdogs and the game was tied with three minutes to go. It should however be noted that Syracuse was down 11 at half and rallied back.
