National Championship: Memphis -1/2 Over Kansas

[jjgold]

It is that close of a line

[BigOrangeTitans]

JJ, I got KU -1 over memphis o/u 157ish
Memphis may come out -.5, but KU will end up the fave

People are gonna love KU for waxin UNC.

[rjt721]

Memphis won't be favored over Kansas if this ass-whooping continues. Beating UNC, who many (foolishly) thought was invincible, will be enough for KU to open as small chalk.

Kansas -1.5.

[treece]

Wow can't believe it was 40-12. i just turned the game on and it is 40-22 but it said UNC is on a 10-0 run lol. where are all the hansbrough blowers now? i said it was i'll say it again he is the next shawn bradley.

[dwaechte]

Memphis is more talented, and at this stage thats all you can go on. I doubt anyone could come up with stats that say Kansas is better, though I guess it is possible someone could.

This is the national championship game of two 1 seeds that BEAT two one seeds. East coast/NC bias will make Kansas a fave, even though Memphis is much faster/quicker with the same play style.

Memphis has 3 players which would start in the NBA Rose, Douglas-Roberts (these two will be in the NBA next year) and possibly Dorsey though is offense his unbelievably bad, they are stacked as far as talent goes and will have to be slightly favored against Kansas barring a miracle comeback by UNC.

It is that close of a line

Why not Pick--no such thing as -1/2 for a full game hoops line?

I have Kansas -2 over Memphis--assuming the Jayhawks can hold off NC.

[MJFtheGenius]

what?? KU is only up 5?

[rjt721]

Kansas -1.5.

KU -1.5 it is.

KU came out -1 at pinny, looks like memphis is getting hammered already as the juice is -101 now.

Theres a reason me and RJT are usually on the right side, just in different ways from different capping. Good call RJT

[diogee]

I need Kansas to win to seal the deal on my Betjam bracket.

[polishkielbasa10]

that was one lucky outing, in no way does KU repeat that performance, not to mention the size of memphis is overwhelming...caught unc on a bad night, and they almost caught em...Memphis will regin victorious, probably by 6 or so

Kansas is bigger. Dorsey (6'9") is Memphis' only legit big. KU can throw out Arthur, Kaun and Aldrich.

[pat venditto]

memphis is gonna win fellas

[BigOrangeTitans]

Down to memphis pkem now.
Memphis -1 really soon to come.

Memphis 4 starter's are forsure NBA player's, I'll take Douglas-robert and Derrick Rose over Chalmer and Rush any day. Dorsey and Dozier tandem is way better than Sasha Kaun and Darrell Arthur underneath the basket. UNC only has hansborough and Ucla only Kevin love doing all the dirty work that's why both teams lost convincingly. That won't be the case for KU on monday.

[BigOrangeTitans]

Memphis now -1 at pinny and cris, bouncing from -1 to pk em

Yeah, i know, forecasting line movement is a hobby of mine, pretty good at it

[WestsidePete]

so who you like BOT???

[BigOrangeTitans]

so who you like BOT???

Memphis at -1 or better i have as a 64% winner.
Memphis -1.5 or worse, it drops to 59% winner.

so memphis, at a pkem if its still there.

[Wheell]

BOT: You have them winning by 1 HOW OFTEN? Work on your formula man, that is just nuts.

[BigOrangeTitans]

That is what i have them for edge%

I would have put this line Memphis -3.5 or -4 if i were trying to get as close to what number i see the game finishing at.

[Wyndham]

Got Memphis at +320, see no reason why that doesn't cash.

[jjgold]

I took Memphis

A little better talent

[thegreatdiatchi]

This game is really a pickem. I think Memphis is the better team but the result might not yield what most people think. While both teams are hot I have to give Kansas the momentum in this one.

[babaoriley]

Memphis' overall resume (looking back now) is just superb. Kansas' overall resume (while underrated because of Davidson) is lackluster in my opinion.
Again, Memphis against Tourney teams:
OKlahoma (Neutral) -W by 10
UCONN (Neutral)- W by 11
USC (Neutral)- W by 4 (a game in which they shot 39% from the stripe)
G-Town- W by 14
Arizona- W by 13
Siena- W by 44 (went 11-32 from the line)
Gonzaga- W by 13 (went 19-32-59% from the line)

Lost to Tennessee by 4 (8-17)

Miss St.- W by 3 (15-32)
Mich St.- W by 18 (74%- IT CLICKS?)
Texas- W by 18 in Houston (30-36 83%)
UCLA- W by 15 (20-23 87%)

Quite simply, if Memphis knocks down FT's as they have been in these last 3 games, I think Kansas has to play waaay above their heads to win. Not saying it won't/can't happen, but I jumped on Memphis for 4* at pk. If they miss their FT's, who knows but I think Memphis has it clicking now and I think they win on Monday.
