I don't normally stick to the sides and totals for the full games for the Final Four. These are the off-the-beaten path plays that I'm making today. May include in-play plays on totals or sides, but I'm not rolling with anything on the full game sides or totals. 2nd halves always a possibility. Always like to put 'em up, fade or follow - you got something from me. My contribution to SBR society for today + Monday.

#1: Louisville G Russ Smith Total Points Over 21 [-120]
Smith has been legit "in the zone" in the NCAAs with 23 or better in every game so far. He's shown a great ability to get to the line with double digit FTs in three straight. He's got 20+ in six of his last seven overall and he's going to be the guy if Louisville is going to win it all. He's consistent & does a lot of this work without the benefit of just trying to throw the 3 ball in. The 3 is in his repertoire, but it's not the key shot to him getting a bunch of points. If he is aggressive and gets those trips to the line, this should have a wonderful shot to cash.

#2: Syracuse-Michigan Largest Lead of the Game Over 12.5 [-130]
By hook or crook, I am expecting a big lead for one team or another. Michigan's shooters can bust the zone. Burke can penetrate and find and bust the zone or 'Cuse is on lock down again on D and if they can get some easy buckets, they could roll up a big lead at some point as they have done the whole tourney.

Can almost pencil it in that those missed FTs are gonna bite this shit in the ass.

[Easy-Rider 66]

A couple big 3's by Smith. Back in the Game.

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah needed those big time. I still think the missed FTs are going to turn this into a ball sweat special.

[EaglesPhan36]

Five missed FTs and three fouls. Not liking the chances.

[EaglesPhan36]

Nevermind ..

[EaglesPhan36]

Sure would be nice to have I don't know ... three extra points from some made free throws to be sitting on 18 instead of 15. Like that both teams are in the bonus, but damn this fukk is gonna have to make some FTs and make some shots period.

[EaglesPhan36]

I'm gonna call it right now. He finishes with 19-20 where a couple made FTs would have pushed or won it.

[EaglesPhan36]

Mmmm hmm. 18 pts. 2/8 from the line. Fukk stick hits 5/8 which still is well below his average and this pushes. Ouyster bag.

[EaglesPhan36]

Painful. Just hoping maybe he can get hacked once more.

[EaglesPhan36]

What a fukkin' chumpstain. Somehow got a push, but Jesus H. Christ this should have been an easy win. Nice FT shooting assbag.

[EaglesPhan36]

#3: Michigan G Tim Hardaway, Jr. Total Rebounds + Assists Over 7.5 [-105]

[EaglesPhan36]

#4: [2nd Half] Michigan-Louisville Under 75 [-110]

[Easy-Rider 66]

#4: [2nd Half] Michigan-Louisville Under 75 [-110]

Would play under as well. Hopefully it does become a foul fest at the end.

[EaglesPhan36]

Foul fest doesn't matter although it looks like plenty of FTs - but neither team is missing anything this half. Both teams shooting 65% or better half way through. Can't cap that sort of Thing. Hoping Hardaway at least gets me some boards or dimes for the prop.

[EaglesPhan36]

Cashed the big play on the prop, so I'll eat the 2nd half under loss and feel okay about it. I mean both teams shooting around 50%, would not have expected it. I turned the channel for about 2 minutes of game time so Hardaway could get some stats ... worked like a charm.
