Give me Arizona

Taking Arizona based on what we have seen so far in this tournament.

Arizona beat Memphis, Texas, and Duke. Both Texas and Duke solid teams, although Texas faltered late.

Uconn has beaten Bucknell, Cincinnati, and San Diego St. Cincinnati win not impressive based on the Big East performance so far, and San Diego St. beat one ranked team all year (Gonzaga, not counting the 1 win against BYU when the center was suspended).

Eveybody is all over Uconn and Kemba Walker. (The Walker praise is deserved, great player). Just think Arizona has played better competition in the tournament, and their inside game will fare better and also negate anything Uconn has down low. That leaves Walker trying to do it all against what I feel is a better, more tested team the last few weeks.

Arizona +2 1/2, good luck with whatever you play.

Conn more then just Walker... Lamb is a player (NBA future talent) and Nappier is very good also just young.. GL.. Conn on a roll ...

Yeah, Lamb averages 10 a game, and Nappier about 7. Both are freshman though, and I don't think Lamb will get anywhere near the repeat effort he had aginst SDSU (9 for 11, 21 points), cuz I think Arizona has the personnel to slow him down and this is a big stage for a couple of youngsters.

So that means Walker will have to carry the load, and I don't think he will be able to do it again by himself. Of course, I think I saw Uconn is 11-0 against the number on this run, so I am playing with fire!!

Well I will take the win, not in the manner I expected though. Williams sits for 10 minutes of first half, they still out rebound Uconn badly, have more assists, and it took a lucky cover.

Zona 4 for 21 from beyond the arc, and mid-thirties shooting overall......puke. Of course Kemba had a semi-pedestrian night that offsets some of that, kid hit them when it mattered though.

Ziggy I do see your point about that Lamb kid, lot of talent. He only ended up 7 for 19, but he hit a couple big ones at the end.
