Kansas--Texas first-half under 74-------------------See both these teams starting the game with solid defense---Believe the first 5 min will keep this first-half under. I like the way Texas matches up down low--they have some big athletic bodies to throw at Kansas big men. This year Kansas has put up big numbers offensively due to mismatches down low--shootin from point-blank range will accumilate pts. I believe texas can challenge shots and make it difficult for Kansas to get those easy looks. Also TJ Ford---smart pt guard. knows they do not want to run with Kansas especially in Lawrence. We will see him pull it out several times and call set plays. Believe we see pressure "D' from both clubs causing more shots to be missed, and i think both teams can rebound defensivey, limiting opposition to 1 shot. BOth these teams do a great job on the offensive glass. BUt believe we see this cut down--both teams get it done on defensive-----rebounding. Would play the game under 155---believe it is a bit too high. But this will be an agressive game--considering this: there could be a lot of whistles from the refs---pts with clock stopped----not good for unders. Because i worry about fouls (especially late)--i will just play the first-half under----strong play first-half under 74--Also why i'm not playing the game under---Could see Texas getting down 2nd half---and trying to run and be overlyaggressive leading to easy hoops--FOr EX.---if they are losing by 10---they may press---and try and make a play---gambling on defense---Kansas has the experience to take advantage of overlyaggressive d's--and pass the ball to open man and get easy scoring oppurtunities... Final play----Kansas--first-half under 74-----good luck
Monday--1 play

Inna.....i disagree....Texas plans to go in there and turn up the tempo.....

I believe first 5 min of game will keep the 2nd half below 74----Texas---i can not see them running with Kansas and having a good chance to win. Kansas lost to Arizona yes, but Arizona is very talented----Texas does not have the scorers that Arizona has.
adding Uconn ---med play---------------like the way St.Johns plays basketball--they put a premium on the ball and really tighten up on d---making it a possession game. They make their free-throws---rebound---do all the little things to win games. well coached team that is very fundamental---On the other hand we have UConn---they are a better team--they have more talent and depth---and have more guys that are complete players---they will clean up the glass tonight limiting St. John to just a shot----If Uconn shoots well from the line---They may win by 10--------Uconn lost a few Nationally Televised games---and should of won them both----they are the better team and shoud be laying at least 3 pts----i will take them at pick'em---Uconn final play
