UNC Over UW Tomorrow?

**agharah1** · 03-19-11, 10:32 PM

UNC is 25-1 in tournament games played in their home state. Washington is a mediocre pac-10 team with multiple gaffes all year to god-awful teams and what's more, they're going to let UNC run! Washington has traveled farther than any other team for their game, including PSU and Temple to Tuscon.

UNC 89 washington 76

Save your money and go all in on Duke ML or OSU ML.

**Rbyrne** · 03-19-11, 10:34 PM

i like UNC because I dont think Washingtons big guys can contain Zeller, Henson, and Barnes

**tkim8404** · 03-19-11, 11:06 PM

N'diaye for sure cannot contain anybody down low.

**Thunderman** · 03-19-11, 11:09 PM

If those LIU clowns can run with UNC for awhile, UDub can sure do it too. I'm playing
Udub ML and watching UNC never leave their own state in the tourney.

**dfberger23** · 03-19-11, 11:13 PM

I likw Washington to cover and maybe win, should be a great game.

**TwoWays** · 03-19-11, 11:13 PM

If anyone did not catch Washington in the first round or in the Pac-10 tournament they are playing more zone defense. Washington will have a tough time scoring on the inside because of North Carolina players length. North Carolina will have to run more clock on offense because of Washington's zone. Under should be the play tomorrow.

**officepoolguy** · 03-19-11, 11:15 PM

Washington is horrible on the road and playing in Charlotte..take UNC.

**Walulu** · 03-19-11, 11:16 PM

Like UNC playing in their own backyard. If you are going to play it now is the time, think this line will go up from here.

**rixster22** · 03-19-11, 11:21 PM

I like the unc gl

This. I think I am gonna take UNC moneyline.

**DrunkHorseplayer** · 03-19-11, 11:22 PM

UNC wins easily; I'm in large at -3.5 and you should get down as soon as possible.

**NYSportsGuy210** · 03-19-11, 11:50 PM

I like the OVER in this game.

**tokio** · 03-20-11, 12:10 AM

line has already moved to -5.5 and ML went from -175 to -210

**Vondy** · 03-20-11, 12:15 AM

Over is the play here I think. Both of these teams will be pushing and should get in the 80s

**shaggy3000** · 03-20-11, 12:19 AM

i hope its like a home game for UNC i know it basically is but i need them to stay undefeated at home for at least one more game

**syn^** · 03-20-11, 12:22 AM

2 words. Isaiah Thomas. Huskies win and advance tomorrow.

**csm506** · 03-20-11, 12:23 AM

Do it I love the play but take the ML to be sure

**vitalogist** · 03-20-11, 12:35 AM

Seems unfair UW plays the late game Friday, then the early game Sunday. This one is a tossup, but gun to head, I take UNC ML. They probably cover as well...

**Lint Pockets** · 03-20-11, 12:42 AM

like unc but its college anything can happen

**Speedy88** · 03-20-11, 12:47 AM

Selection Committee really screwed UDub. Out of all the teams in the tourney, they had to travel the farthest. Not to mention their 1st round match up was against Georgia who only had to travel about 150 miles. Then they screw UDub by making them play the early game, which is 9am Seattle time. Not saying they haven't adjusted to the time zone, but why make the team from the west coast play that early when there are plenty of games that include two east coast teams.

Back to the betting. I wouldn't put all your marbles in on the ML for UNC. UNC should win, but I'd be a bit worried after they gave up 90 points to Long Island. UNC's main problem is that they only have 1 ball handler. Kendall Marshall has shown that he is turnover prone when pressure is put on him. UDub has a kid named Venoy Overton, who is arguably one of the best pressing guards in the nation. I think UW will bring some pressure and force UNC to turn the ball over. UNC is young, and young teams are always turnover prone. UNC has also had a lot of problems defending PG's, and Isaiah Thomas is a top 5 PG in the nation.

If you want the safest bet, take the over as long as the total outcome is no more than 160 (which it shouldn't). UW is bipolar, I have watched almost all there games this season (I'm from Seattle), and they can either be really bad or really good. That said, this is not a sure thing bet. I think it is a sure thing that both these teams combine for more than 160 though.

**dazed99** · 03-20-11, 01:04 AM

i like Washington and over

Go Huskies

**samgurt** · 03-20-11, 01:08 AM

so pissed i put all my points on duke ML already...I wanna bet on UNC moneyline now and the game is before Duke's!

Oh well...still got some real $ to wager with

UNC will have 95% of the fans there...gotta like em, basically home.

As is Notre Dame tomorrow, so keep an eye on them

**Jonah** · 03-20-11, 01:10 AM

I like the Huskies in this type of game, meaning I think they will really be able to spread their wings...However, home court + time difference = 4 points and I give a 6 point coaching edge as well. Kind of a game you need to stay away from because Wash is so athletic, yet so dumb.

washington is gonna be playing at 9am western time at NC, where UNC has not lost in the tourney since 1979 i believe.....i see the refs favoring unc in this one and their size being too much for washington in this one. BOL all though

**Speedy88** · 03-20-11, 01:15 AM

First off, UNC having a ton of Tourney experience means nothing. Previous UNC teams from fifty years ago won a lot, sure MJ won a lot, but this group of UNC kids has never been there. Whereas UW's kids went to the sweet 16 last year. So I'd give the experience edge to UW. And I agree that there will be a ton of UNC fans there, but Duke is playing at that same arena later that day, so expect all of Duke's fans to be rooting for UW. So I think a lot of people will be surprised how many cheers UW gets between the Duke fans and the casual fans who root for the underdog.

**sportman1313** · 03-20-11, 01:52 AM

LOL @ your statement about duke's fans being there cheering for UW....have you ever been to NC bro? What you're saying is pretty inaccurate and won't be the case at all....maybe a few people here and there, but far from it. I'm from VA but lived for a while in NC and have been to both duke and unc games (among other games out here on the east coast). UW will indeed have some of their own fans and such there, but will be absolutely overwhelmed by UNC fans.....UNC takes this one straight up in my opinion, wouldn't be surprised with an easy win either if they bring their A game.

Good luck with your plays bro and hope you fare well

**Wreckloose** · 03-20-11, 01:53 AM

I have UW on my bracket, I might just leave it at that.

**sportman1313** · 03-20-11, 01:54 AM

another thing, I think you are grossly underestimating the homecourt for UNC in north carolina and how much the time of the game will affect UW. Then again, I may be wrong....I doubt it but certainly will be possible. UW have certainly been dogged in this tournament with time of games, location, etc. I highly doubt UNC loses this one and think ML would be a good play....I've already locked in my bet, BOL to you and others

**AL1322** · 03-20-11, 02:01 AM

mediocre pac 10 team?...last time i checked they won the pac 10...unc is a bunch of overachievers who wont be shit in the nba...im taking the points..idc if they play in roy williams driveway..ya home game for xavier too...look how that turned out

**AL1322** · 03-20-11, 02:03 AM

and why does everyone talk about the time this and that..uconn played 5 games in 5days these kids are 20 not 80 they can handle it

**sportman1313** · 03-20-11, 02:13 AM

BOL to you bro....i don't think there are any required responses to your posts. Hopefully we both hit bro....BOL man

**TwoWays** · 03-20-11, 02:20 AM

Washington (this year) is last year's Notre Dame. They've totally changed their offense approach in the last couple weeks. They've gone to the under their last four games. Make yourself some money and play the under, boys.

**Jive** · 03-20-11, 02:21 AM

Time is not going to be a factor tomorrow. UW has been on the east coast for 5 days now. Plus, I think pretty much every college team in America holds butt-early practices during the season (like 6am, 7am). Granted, games are different animals than practices and there is a gameday routine at play, but these kids are accustomed to playing ball before the sun comes up. A "9:15 am" start after 5 days to adjust won't mean anything to UW.
