Already up to 145 in most places I have seen, yet I still see this game in the high 150s to 160s, anyone have any thoughts on this?
Villanova/Arizona Total
- Thread starter Phenom
- Start date
qjn23, do you have any opinion on the total? I already took it at Over 144.5 figured it might get up to 146 by game time if not higher.
while i think nova is the 2nd best team i've seen all year (and maybe better than uconn) and arizona has played like crap all year.......i think the pressure is off and it showed fri.....arizona plays that way and they can beat nova.....will they? gotta feeling we will
all the press and quotes from the team and staff say the same thing......time to just play and have fun.......been pressing all year and decided that it's time to just have fun and let it fly, pressure is off......think their preformance vs wisc showed that (and i realize that wisc sucked this year)....the key is shakur.....if lowrey pressures him early and shakur folds, it could be a long day......but playing at home in philly i think shakur stands up and plays well for 40 mins.
nova could shoot lights out because all they do is shoot threes....but if they stink up the joint like they did vs monmouth they are in trouble.....think they will play better but we will play as well as we did fri
i could bore you with the tons of stats of lute as a dog/lower seed in the tourney the last 15 years (5-2 vs #1 seeds last 8 years.....only losing in the title game to duke in 01 and that damn illinois game last year) and how there are tons of meaninless cosmic comparisons to 1997.....but in the end i think we show up in this game.
as for the total.....hard to say....if nova is hitting threes then we will be pushing the tempo and the over should come in fairly easy.....if nova is missing threes then the game could be in the high 60's low 70's....lean toward the over (but more because i hate unders in college basketball, esp the tourney when 20 points can be scored in the final 90 secs if someone is ahead by the right amount and the foul fest begins)
