Mich St/UNC -7, o/u 153

[Skanless1]

Line is up (at Bookmaker at least)...
Though I really like UNC to win the game, not sure about 7 pts yet.

REALLY like the under though, and have already pounded that.

[jellobiafra]

My intitial gut on this says UNC by 12-15 and never really that close. I'm gonna wait though because I don't think the line could move far enough in 2 days for me to consider laying off.

Under is interesting. I wonder if they're basing that on the way MSU played vs UConn. They are going to have a completely different plan vs UNC. The idea was to run it up the court before UConn could pack it in on defense. (I wish I'd have known that before I played the under.) They're going to try to slow this one down as much as possible. Nobody can run with UNC's thoroughbreds and survuve. Especially not MSU and Izzo is smarter than Mark Few. He knows this.

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah at 153, the UNDER seems like a solid choice. I am thinking State wants the same plan against UNC that they had against Louisville. Slow it down.

[jellobiafra]

Yeah, Izzo will be the 1st coach to have the right gameplan against UNC. I mentioned Few above. Gonzaga is delusional if they thought they could survive playing UNC's game. And everyone is on Jay Wright's nuts but I thought he had a horrible plan tonight. Whatever that plan was. It looked like the same old let 'em press it up the floor and chuck up the first open shot, or have Scotty drive and toss up a prayer offense they've been running. The only reason they were in the F4 is because they couldn't miss against UCLA (or in the last 10 against AU a game which they could have lost) and they ran into the weakest #1 seed I've ever seen in my life. I remain underwhelmed by Nova and Jay Wright. Nice team. But not a real contender.

[The General]

Under was my instinct before today so I will probably go over and fade myself.

[SpartyPt11]

I actually like the over in this game! I can see the score being a lot like the nova game!!! and the MSU UNC blow out game was over this mark also!!! State can try to slow it down but UNC can score and I cant doubt that So MSU will have to match them point for point!! State can win but they will have to put up a lot of points!!!!

[slacker00]

I like MSU ML. Anything can happen in one single game in these circumstances. The odds are right.

I don't like the MSU +7. I think either UNC blows them out, or MSU hangs in and pulls the surprise upset.

[frostno98]

I'd take UNC and lose happy. That was the same thing I said about the Pittsburgh Steeler. But whatever, the favorites has to cover someday in the Finals right? With the President's official anointment, UNC will prevail with a convincing victory. I also think Villanova is a much better team than MSU, UNC just made them look inferior that's all.

[MJT1212]

MSU already beat last years champs and most peoples "this years champs" single handedly...They do it one more time monday night to win myself big cash

[SpartyPt11]

NOVA 5-27 from 3 OK 2-19 from 3 zags 7-23 from 3 (better) these numbers are crazy!! Its like everyone chokes vs UNC I know UNC plays great D but alot of those 3s are uncontested!!!!!

[rezkoness69]

Yea, MSU doesn't rely on the 3 much, so I don't see that being a big issue. I think a difference in this game will be Goran Suton. He's been hitting his jumpers lately, and when he does that this team just has a different feel to it. Walton will do his best to slow down lawson, and I think he will have moderate success. This tournament has shown what I have believed for many years, Tom Izzo is the best coach in college basketball. A better one then Roy Williams, Bill Self, Coach K, and others that recieve more notoriety. He's the difference. Like he has all tourny long, he will come up with a game plan to slow down the tar heels and I believe MSU pulls off the upset. I like them at +300

[Tsoprano]

UNC or no play for me

[UCIalumni]

I'm all over UNC -4 first half and a 5 point teaser UNC -2.5/ under 158!!!

GL all!!!!

[shantystar]

under 153

[BobHarvey]

I'm confident UNC will beat MSU. I took -8 for even money. Two words: Ty Lawson.

[hockey216]

my book has a prop bet:

MSU to win 1st half and game.

+3,000.


sure, i'm probably kissing my 200 goodbye... but 200 to win 6,000?

Value's not bad if MSU pulls off a smash



Goodluck everybody!

These odds must be a mistake? 30 to 1 that MSU leads at halftime then goes on to win the game? This prop shouldn't be paying more than 15 to 1.
