    Making a Big Play on Washington

    The Huskies are going to beat everybody's new favorite team: The North Carolina Tar Heels. The country has fallen in love with this squad. In some aspects, you can't blame them. They have some very good young talent and were able to win a lot of games down the stretch and knock off Duke in the regular season finale. However the Heels are sporadic as are most young teams. We saw them struggle in the conference tourney and I saw this as a reality check that although UNC is talented, they really aren't an elite team.

    Washington has an experienced leader who despite his size can do it all. Isaiah Thomas is able to get to the bucket with ease and just when you think he's going to blow by you can step back and knock down a jumper. He draws a lot of attention and consequently it opens up opportunities for other players to score. Bryan-Amaning is one of those players. He scores most of his points on the low block and I think between him and Thomas, they will be able to neutralize UNC's strengths with regard to post play and guard play respectively.

    I have watched both these teams a lot this year and in all honesty these seedings really don't give these two teams justice as I think this is essentially an even matchup. Let's not forget that we're talking about the ACC regular season champs vs. the Pac-10 tourney champs. Having said that, the 4.5 is a gift while the ML has a great chance of hitting. As a side note, I think the total is too high and that under is a good play but i will stay away from that.

    Washington +4.5 (10x); ML +170 (6x)

    I'm on this as well, but mainly because I'm a homer and my competition for the bracket will fall if UW wins.

    CBS doesn't want to see the Huskies in the Final Four as they don't bring in the viewers like the UNC fans. They have instructed the refs to favor any calls for the Tarheels.

    I keep going back and forth; if the UNC team that killed Duke shows up UNC rolls and washington is so reliant on the 3. Plus MBA will get into foul trouble and UDub has no other big guys

    I just can't see UNC losing in their home ground.

    Good luck to you though

    Carolina is going down. Here is a good article on this Washington squad:

    It doesn't even give an opinion. If I want to research a team I'm obviously going to read from sources that are in touch with the team.

    Washington is up a mere 2 pts 3 and a half minutes into the game and live odds are down to UNC -2.5 ... This is very telling.

    Lol UNC is such a joke. They need to get those cheap buckets to keep it close by throwing the ball the length of the court after Washington scores. This team is so overrated.

    UNC getting bailed out by the refs. 11 fouls for UW, only 2 for UNC.

    Washington should have won the game. So many dumb mistakes down the stretch. At least I got the cover but was really hoping for a Huskies win SU.
