Post NC & Gonzaga

Gonzaga vs North Carolina

I pegged Gonzaga as a Final Four team back before the season started, and when the bracket came out I held my stance and had them Motown bound just the same. As for Ty for the Tarheels,he looked awful in the first half against LSU, but a superstar in the second half. Who knows which player UNC will get? But still, this play is on the skill of the Bulldogs and their array of talent.

Carolina offense is perhaps one of the scariest looking rosters in basketball. Gonzaga sports a pretty solid defense to support the high scoring offense. The Bulldog rank in the top 40 scoring defenses in America holding opponents to only 61 points per game.
North Carolina has averaged 90 points per game this season which ranks 2nd in the country. North Carolina will look for Hansbrough along with the two stellar guards to be the biggest impact players to lead the Tarheels into the Elite Eight and possibly make their run towards a championship.

Betting Trends…
North Carolina is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games while reaching the under total in 5 of their last 5 games as well. North Carolina is 16-2 SU in the last 18 games while Gonzaga is 5-0 SU in their last 5 games. Gonzaga is 8-1-1 in terms of the over vs. under total in their last 10 games.

recommend:Gonzaga gives the Tarheels all that they can handle & keeps it close.They will have enough no matter the status of Carolina's floor leader.

Gonzaga+8.5

(also small recommend on Arizona+9)

I will have my focus more on the Sooners/Syracuse game,i believe that
Oklahoma is a touch stronger but my heart goes out to Syracuse in this
matchup,go Cuse!! THIS IS NOT A RECOMMEND,JUST WISHFUL THINKING.

i like the Zags too...I had them pegged as a final four team a couple of years ago for this year. I follow them closer than Texas Tech basketball...theyre legit and should cover the spread at least...GL
