Let's get it today Elrod, good luck today bud.
1H
UK/Vandy Under 64
Xavier/St Bonnies Over 63.5
Full Game:
FSU +6
They match up well with the Heels, long and athletic and will try to slow the pace. If they can't succeed they are one of the few teams in the country that can match up with UNC athletically up and down the floor, as evidenced by their 33 point drubbing of the Heels earlier this season. Revenge factor for UNC should be mitigated somewhat by the 24 hour turnaround between games that gives R. Williams limited time to gameplan. Henson being questionable and FSU playing great ball right now is enough for me to take the points.
UK -8
Commodores are playing good basketball right now but UK is on another planet. They are hands down the most talented team in the nation but their youth sometimes makes them a bit erratic in regards to covering spreads i.e. LSU and Florida in the SEC tourney. That being said, Calipari is furious at how his team has performed over the last 2 games and I expect with the SEC title on the line the Cats will come out and show the country why they are the number 1 overall seed.
X Men -3.5
Xavier is playing their best ball of the season coming at the right time. Their guard play is much better than St. Bonaventure and I expect that to show up here and be the difference in the game.
MSU +2
Underdog is something like 5-0 SU in the last 5 meetings between the two. Nix and Payne are playing out of their minds for the Spartans and should be a handful for Sullinger down low. Hopefully the loss of Dawson and his defensive abilities doesn't finally bite State in the ass against a team with guards who can penetrate. I've bet against Izzo and the Spartans the first two games they played in this tournament and with their track record of March magic I can't do it again.
