Butler or msu? Who do u like and why?

Go against the public in this pick. Its a toss up, dont over exxagerate the Lucas injury, Lucious has been playing well that should be a no factor unless OT and depth play a roll. Butler is good, Hayward is playing out of his mind. Its a toss up... Go against the grain

early lean is MSU but...its early.

I keep hearing this, but I can't help but agree. Coaching can make a big difference; lot of crazy emotions when it comes to the Final Four. Hard for coaches to know how they're kids will come out.

I like MSU as well, the only spot that I feel Butler has an advantage over State is with Gordon Heyward.

I have researched this gm for hrs. I cannot see any value on either side a no play for me. Always remember the bigger the gm the more right & tight the lines are. Personally i'm staying far far away from this gm. Shoul be an entertaining gm to watch though.

DukeJohn · 03-30-10, 09:47 AM

Based on my computer simulation, I have this as an extremely close game. It shows Butler winning by 1pt which appears to be right in line with the linemakers. I guess I will be going with MSU at +1.5.

311jmp300boy · 03-30-10, 10:16 AM

yeah, gonna be a great game! I understand the whole coaching thing, but please someone admit Stephens is a great coach too. Look who they've knowcked out, and both of those two great teams were great rebounding teams and very athletic.
I also like it when Vitale and Gottlieb go with MSU cause they are always wrong! lol, great game to watch

coloradobuff · 03-30-10, 11:02 AM

small lean to butler...great defense just like msu and will have the crowd behind them

LT Profits · 03-30-10, 11:08 AM

Butler. The last two teams they beat are better then MSU, and they are basically at home. If Michigan State could only score 59 vs. Northern Iowa, I don't think they'll exceed 55 here.

KingKolzig · 03-30-10, 01:52 PM

Butler 68 MSU 60

Ch3fDan · 03-30-10, 02:00 PM

I like MSU in this one. Why? They have players that have been here before. They have the best tournament coach in the business, and Korie Lucious is coming off of a game where me made a handful of critical mistakes late in the game to keep Tennessee in it. Izzo will have him ready to go and MSU will march right on in to the championship game. Not to mention Mr. Summers is playing lights out right now.

EXpertcapper · 03-30-10, 03:00 PM

Butler 64 Mich state 59

thank me later

suckerforparlays · 03-30-10, 03:44 PM

Brad Stevens and I keep saying this over and over is gonna be a legend . We all no IZZO is a legend but Stevens is gonna solidify himself with a win over IZZO

Jasonal_98 · 03-30-10, 04:08 PM

I have to go with Izzo with nearly a week of preparation time. It's going to be a close game.

superjeff24 · 03-30-10, 10:59 PM

im rooting for MSU on this one, but i wouldnt be surprised if butler did win

PlatinumBerg · 03-30-10, 11:12 PM

I think MSU is going to win, but there is some RLM going on with the books...

Shane · 03-30-10, 11:13 PM

Rooting for Butler, but as far as money goes I'm with Sparty. Tom Izzo is Mr. March, and State's roster is full of kids who've already been to the Final Four.

chiliv5 · 03-30-10, 11:16 PM

I just keep asking this question- After watching Butler beat UTEP, Murray St, SYR, and K St why cant they beat Mi St? The response I keep getting is Izzo, but man oh man......

Ch3fDan · 03-31-10, 06:46 AM

Raymar on Hayward is the matchup to watch, and I think it favors St.

The General · 03-31-10, 07:10 AM

have no idea, but I want to see Butler win and get a one game shot at the National title.

Shortstop · 03-31-10, 07:27 AM

Michigan State, simply because of Izzo!

PAULYPOKER · 03-31-10, 07:29 AM

msu cause they are better

Pauly, he took a cheap shot and he lost. I hope Dunder gets repaid, but I highly doubt it.

Heavymo · 03-31-10, 08:03 AM

D A W G S...... getn no credit to get to this point. If they win this game and get a national title shot all it will be is they have no chance again...... funny.

311jmp300boy · 03-31-10, 08:27 AM

DAWGS WIN! Both teams are great at grind them out games..... keep your money away from this one and bet it on the Blue Devils! Duke won't miss all those shots that Kentucky missed!

konck · 03-31-10, 08:31 AM

The longer the game stays close it favors Mich St this is like a coin flip

Holy shit you want predictions then you turn around and play Jimmy The Greek on us make up your mind

PAULYPOKER · 03-31-10, 08:35 AM

All I got out of this thread was a solid play on the under I guess it was worth it

no1here · 03-31-10, 08:40 AM

without a doubt can go either way but gonna go with my home team, michigan state

3PtShooter · 03-31-10, 08:51 AM
