Plays rated 1-5 GOY inside.....
3* Marquette +7 over Kentucky----Just see this game being close throughout. Marquette can beat you inside and out and to Kentucky who can only beat you inside. Without the outside of Kentucky, I just see Marquette hanging around and getting a very possible outright win.
5* GOY Arizona -2 over Kansas----I have been a Jayhawk backer all year round. I have them in all my brackets going to the championship game. BUt after watching Zona play the past few rounds, they proved they have the best team out there. They are so deep in the depth its sick. What got my attention with them is how they responded after the tough game against Gonzaga. Usually a team will press and turn the ball over the next game because they don't want to get into the same position. But Zona clearly was ready and focused and played their game straightout fromt he beginning. Didnt change anything and just played they way they have all year. The thing that I don't like about Kansas is their depth. Once thye get in foul trouble, they are done. The lack of an outside presence who can constantly knowckdown outside shots hurth them IMO. Henrich is good but not the same caliber as Gardner, Stoudmire, Walton and Adams (off the bench). Besides Collison, you have to guards in Henrich and Langford who are not at the top of their games due to injuries....Zona by 10
