I went solo and didn't watch or read anything about todays final 4 until I made up my own lines. Well at least Vegas guys that make up these lines and myself are on the same page. I had -3.5 ,-4 or -4.5 . Think today both games are -4. Don't see any advantage so should pass on both games . But how can you if you have been doing this all year. Its like visiting Willy Wonkas's chocolate factory and refusing a candy bar at the end of the tour. The tour is almost over after monday night.
So here goes
North carolina ML +170 ***
Not breaking down game because so many of you heard or read about all the stats. I loved Manek when he played at Oklahoma and I got to see him vs Texas. He stretches out the floor when they bring him to the top of the key. I love Love at the point but RJ Davis went to my High school in NY and broke every county scoring record. Duke is loaded with bacot and co. So many intangibles on this game.[ not even sure what that means?] Coach K's,rivalry past etc etc. How do you handicap that . So small play on NC to win the game . If they lose but cover the spread I am a fool but I know that already. Final 3 seconds, NC down by 1, Love passes to RJ .he dribbles penetrates and passes to forgotten Manek who sticks a jumper at the buzzer and wins the game.
Kansas -4 over Nova **
Nova +4 over Kansas **
Nova has the best gd in the country in Gillespie . Moore going down to a team that plays 6 or 7 guys is devastating. But is it? Its Nova and if any team can adjust its them. I watched and taped North Texas- Kansas in the beginning of the year. North Texas lost but scared them and I thought this was the weakest Kansas team in years. I was wrong. Agbaji is big time although at 1st I didn't think so. Kansas wants to rebound and run, or run with transition. Nova isn't going to let them do that esp with Collin at the point. Totally confused in this game. I thought with Nova injury losing there 2nd leading scorer and not having a deep bench Kansas could win this by double digits. But when ever an important player goes down there is always someone who replaces him I call it the Paul Wiggins Theory. In HS my star player fouls out and the away gym is going crazy and we are down by 3 or 4 under 3 minutes . My star had +24 points 15 rebounds 6 or 7 assists a few blocked shots,etc I have 3 jv players on my bench . tell my asst coach who is my JV coach who do I put in He tells me put Wiggins in . He was upset moving up to the varsity for this game because in his own words " I aint getting no light" with the varsity and I want to play", Anyway we convinced him to move up just for tonight since the gym was sold out and I had suspended 3 varsity players for this game. Anyway Wiggins comes in gets a deflected pass and scores He then hits a jumper and gets a steal on top and scores. We win and Wiggins in 3-4 minutes gets 7 points 3 deflections 2 steals and we win . He was a 6'3 skinny black kid with no ass who couldn't pay defense but he was fast and wanted to shoot 24-7 He won that game for us that night but he was back on the JV team the next game Not sure who replaces Moore tonight but always think of Paul Wiggins on replacements.
Only play for me tonite is Agbaji over 16.5 pts prop bet. I am going to pass on this game and enjoy and watch. And if someone from Nova comes off the bench and becomes a hero There is a Paul Wiggins living in New York City some where that has no idea someone is thinking about him
