UF ML is a lock
I took the spread, as well.

I go to UF, so obviously a bias pick.
BUT, its so blatantly obvious who the better team is in this game.


Comparing the starting line ups:

BYU -
Fredette 6'2 Senior
Emery 6'3 Senior
Abouo 6'5 Junior
Collinsworth 6'6 Freshman
Hartsock 6'8 Junior

Florida -
Walker 5'8 Junior
Boynton 6'2 Sophomore
Parsons 6'10 Senior
Tyus 6'8 Senior
Macklin 6'10 Senior


Analysis:
BYU Advantages -

• Jimmer
• Better backcourt (Jimmer > pretty much everyone in the nation)
• Better shooters
• Did I mention Jimmer?

Florida Advantages -

• Better frontcourt/height
  
  • Macklin - 11.3 ppg 5.4 rpg
  • Tyus - 8.6 ppg 5.7 rpg (average double figures the past two years)
  • Parsons - 11.4 ppg 7.7 rpg 3.7 apg **SEC Player of the Year
  
  
• Depth
  
  • Four starters averaging 11+, the 5th averages 8.6 and use to avg double figures
  • Murphy - 6'10 off the bench, good fundamental all around game.
  • Young - 6'9 off the bench, athletic big man who is a good defender and can finish under the basket (kind of raw talent, HUGE potential)
  • Wilbekin - Solid back up PG, good defender (may be matched up vs jimmer)
  
  

Last year these teams met in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament, with BYU winning in double OT. Florida is a much improved team from last year, having only lost one insignificant player from that team.

BYU on the other hand has a completely different team. They got a career game from a bench player who is no longer there (26 points - Michael Lloyd Jr), and have lost 2 starters from last year(Haws 11ppg & Miles 5 ppg), their 4th leading scorer (Tavernari 10ppg). Not to mention they lost their best big man from this year (Davies 11ppg 6 rpg)


Basically, UF is definitely the better team in this play and should be a good bet.




Also added them into to a couple parlays:

Florida ML
UNC ML

and

UF -2.5
San Diego State -2
UNC -4.5

I fvcking hate the lock shit. Stop doing that guys.

I think BYU has trouble with Florida's depth tonight. Gators are going to the Final Four in my bracket. With that being said, Jimmer will probably score 60 and they win by 1.

Lock is a word that I don't like to see but I sure hope
your right tonight.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I don't know why he had to use the lock word unless he's on BYU.

Thanks for fukking our UF bet up, damn newbie

[Brian891]

i have a question: why is the jimmer total 3 pointers made over under prop only 3? i would think jimmer would hit 3 or more pretty easy.

[gshock1]

Hate that word but go Gators!

[skidaddy28]

hit the under because of this

[darren125]

Good luck

very detailed breakdown except for the player's height comparison. I have never seen ESPN breakdown player's height to determine who will win. Yes, size matters, but there are more important factors in determing what team has an advantage to win.

It's pretty clear already that UF is much bigger than BYU in the paint. UF already have 2 dunks in the first few minutes. BYU is already in a 2-3 zone which could spell trouble if UF starts draining 3's.

I hope they keep it up.

Florida shooting lights out and only up 7. These fuckers better not stay hot all game, if not BYU should at least cover

don't worry. They will stay hot and continue to play strong D on Jimmer..

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Florida shooting lights out right now.

If UF took care of the ball and wasn't turning the ball over every other trip this would have been a blow out easily.

UF is a 2nd half team so if they can just stay close or keep the lead, this should be an easy W.

2nd half is UF's. They let these prude Mormon fuks in the game. Time to take care of the ball and turn out the lights. This game reminds me of the Vandy game in the SEC tournament. They turned the ball over like heck in the 1st half but got on track in the 2nd.
