Wichita State vs. Louisville - Think a lot has been said about Louisville's superior quickness at the guard position and the fact the Shockers are just happy to be playing. One of the larger lines in Final 4 history. Think the largest line I recall was Kentucky like -13 vs. Syracuse in the NCAA Final of 1996. Kentucky didn't cover. Cards have been playing really well, but Wichita State is a bunch of scrappers. I also feel the front court positions are fairly even while Louisville has a nice advantage in the backcourt which will help them win, but not cover. My guess is this game is tight throughout and Louisville pulls out the game late.
Wichita State +10 for 10*
Wichita State 1st half +6 (-115) for 5*
Louisville 68 Wichita State 63
Syracuse vs. Michigan - Was shocked when line opened at Michigan -2.5... however, oddsmakers knew this would get a lot of money on Syracuse which I think they want. The key is whether Michigan can hit from the perimeter in a huge dome which they did last weekend. Also, McGary has to keep playing like a beast and Burke has to be able to penetrate and dish. Just see the Wolverines with more weapons and hopefully their youth doesn't hurt them.
Michigan ML -120 for 10*
Michigan 1st half -.5 for 5*
Michigan 64 Syracuse 58
