No. 1 North Carolina Tarheels (31-4) vs. No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners (30-5)


The game within the game will highlight two of the best players to step on a college basketball court in quite some time.Hansbrough will be in a classic battle with Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin who will likely win this year’s Player of the Year award. Hansbrough has been the leading weapon on offense this year for the Tarheels who are among the best scoring offense in the country averaging 93 points per game. Hansbrough has posted a healthy 21.3 scoring average this season while pulling down 8 rebounds per game as well. Hansbrough is just the tip of the iceberg considering North Carolina has countless weapons on offense, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington.

The Sooners success has fallen in the shadow of the play of superstar Blake Griffin. Griffin has averaged 30 points and 15 rebounds per game throughout tournament play which is simply incredible. Oklahoma will need more help from the rest of the team now more than ever to keep up with the Tarheels scoring offense as in Willie Warren has been one of the most impressive freshmen guards in the nation, & junior Tony Crocker blasted 28 points which was well over his season average against Syracuse on Friday night. These two guards along with forward Taylor Griffin will need a strong collective effort to take down the Tarheels.

Betting Trends..
Oklahoma is 18-4 SU in their last 22 games and is 13-8 in the over/under category in the last 22 games as well. North Carolina is 17-2 SU in the last 19 games and is 5-9 ATS in the last 13 games. The Tarheels have also reached the over total in 12 of their last 18 games.

I think N C wins convincingly,but will tease the game with the Cards..


Michigan State (29-6, 18-13-1 ATS) vs Louisville (31-5, 22-14 ATS)


Michigan State raised their record to 13-4 ATS in all neutral court games over the last two seasons and will need Suton and the guards to do what they did in last 20 minutes to limit Louisville.The Spartans 8-1 ATS in road games versus teams who make eight or more 3-point shots a game on the season.

Michigan State would have to believe Louisville couldn’t possibly play any better than they did against Arizona. Watching the energy and the confidence the Cardinals exuded from the tap, you didn’t need the sound on to see what Arizona was in for. What’s scary about Louisville is how they are playing.

Rick Pitino’s team is the hottest in the country with 13 consecutive wins (9-4 ATS), playing devastating defense.Louisville is 9-2 ATS versus good defensive teams allowing 64 or fewer points a game after 15 or more contests.The Cardinals have to stay aggressive on offense and defense. They are 22-12 ATS when they force 14 to 18 turnovers in a game and perfect 9-0 ATS when they attempt 14 to 18 free throws in a game.

The Spartans are 12-4 ATS versus excellent teams who shoot better than 45 percent with a defense holding opponents to less than 42 percent shots made. Like always, Michigan State must control the glass and Louisville is 2-9 ATS vs. dominant rebounding teams, outrebounding opponents by seven or more per game.

Something will have to give since Sparty is 8-0 SU as a No.2 seed and the ‘Ville is 17-1 SU as a one or two seed.

Wiz's recommend:North Carolina-3 with Louisville-2.5 (tease)
