    Set the Florida/Connecticut line?

    I wouldn't fade Connectcut right now.
    This is dejavu all over again, except substitute Kemba for Napier.

    I think it has to be a touch higher, Florida is better than MSU (at least power wise) and UConn won't be "home" this time.

    The Gators are chomping at the bit to play UConn. They were without 2 players and Wilbekin got hurt in that game. UF should have won but the bogus refs gave UConn life down the stretch including a horrible 4 point play call and the last shot by Napier which was a travel, then a double dribble all mixed into one.

    Gators could beat UConn, then Wisconsin and avenge the only 2 teams that beat them on the season. UF only had 8 scholarship players for that one.

    And......Pinny and 5 Dimes are at 6.5.

    Setting lines is not that hard, beating them is a different story.

    Florida can be beat but you have to stop young low and hope they don't get hot from outside. They have shot 25%, 25%, 38%, 33% from 3 in tourney. They average 36% over year. They hit their average and they won't be beat.

    That said Gators have quietly won by double digits every game in tourney and 8 of last 10.

    seniors. they've tasted defeat last few years. hunger. they are saying all the right things. focus. revenge.

    Im sure you can debate everything i just said but Florida is the best team they won't lose. of course there is no guarantee in sports but Florida to me is as solid as you can get.

    I also have Florida and yes Wisconsin in the Final game in my bracket

    So it's 6.5. Gonna be interesting without the home court feel for UCONN in Arlington. I'd be inclined to take the points, especially if it drifts out to 7 or better. FLA should have a comfort advantage playing in that stupid f-ing stadium for the 2nd straight year though, but that doesn't mean much.

    I think FLA will win, but maybe not cover. I think UCONN got a great gift getting to play @ MSG in the Regionals and that was a definite advantage. They played very well - don't get me wrong, but they basically played two home games in familiar arena.

    Florida is a powerhouse

    I know Conn clipped them early in year but this Florida team is much better and 30 straight wins
