Final 4 Thoughts

[Destructor D]

Well, when a lot of people filled out their originial brackets, they probably predicted this Final 4. You have a couple #1 seeds and a couple #2 seeds.

Donovan is a distraction for the Gators right now. UCLA has a huge mismatch at the guard position and revenge is a nice motivating factor. I think Howland is a better coach when he has time to prepare than Donovan. It's also incredibly tough to win back-to-back titles and I think the Gators run ends tomorrow night.

Hoyas just appear the team of destiny IMO. Their comeback against North Carolina was remarkable and they match up very well with Ohio State. Buckeyes are also a young team starting 3 freshman and the bright lights of the Final 4 could affect them more than the veteran Hoyas IMO.

Currently leaning towards UCLA ML (+150) & Hoyas -1 for tomorrow. Still nothing finalized at this time, but most likely those will be my plays.

Man, these games are tough....

The Hoyas are tough inside, but I think the abilty of Conley to break the Hoyas defense down with the dribble/hesitation will be the difference. He may be young, but he seems to play well beyond his years. I love the Ohio St in this one....

The UCLA game is another game that is difficult to get a handle on. I think Florida's length and inside play gives them the advantage...

One of us is going to be very happy... Good Luck!

I think a lot of people are expecting a rematch of the National Title game in football.

I don't see it happening. Only 3 college games left this season and I'm up Big this week so going to let it ride and hope for the best...

G'Town -1 & 1st half -0.5 for Large plays. Green will be the difference in this game. I also like the matchup of Hibbert vs. Oden... Oden hasn't faced anyone with Hibbert's size all season and I think it will affect him. Georgetown has underrated guards as well and I believe Ohio State's freshman could have rough games on the big stage. Line has been set to attract Buckeye money as well.
Prediction: Georgetown 69 Ohio State 62

UCLA ML (+150) & +3.5 (-120) &
1st half +1.5 (-105) - All Large plays as well. Many pundits are saying Florida is going to win because their frontcourt is far superior. My problem is guards win tournament games and you can't expect Humphrey to have another career game like he had vs. Oregon. Revenge is another nice motivator and Gators could be a little overconfident after dominating UCLA in last year's national title game.
Prediction: UCLA 67 Florida 63

No opinions on either total as they both seem very solid IMO.
