<< FINAL FOUR PICKS >>

Rams are a great story and sizzlin hot right now. This young coach has them believing as they enter some unfamiliar waters. VCU will look to play an up-tempo game and force turnovers, but Butler is notorious for forcing you into their style of play. I just think Butler forces them into a half court game and VCU does not fair well playing this type of game. Certainly helps when you shoot lights out from downtown, but I think you see Butler defend the perimeter well tonight and walk away victorious. Experience, a week to prepare, sign me up for the defensive minded Bulldogs:0074

Butler -150

Really looking forward to this game. Both coaches have a history and do not like one another. Love watching Calipari take timeouts 50 seconds into a second half and grabbing a clipboard, love it.. UConn thumped KY already this year, but that means nothing to me. Uconn has been on fire and Kemba is a stud, but tonight they face the best Defense in the country. These guys pressure and stay on ya. Held the Bucks to 60 and have not allowed an opponent north of 70 since the OT loss to Ark back in Feb. KY wins this one with defense...
> KY - 16-5-1 ats last 22 vs the big east
> KY 7-1 last 8 non-con
> KY 8-2 ats as a tourney fav
> KY allows 63 ppg vs teams that average 71ppg+
> Under 7-1-1 last 9 KY games (under 4-1 lst 5 uconn games)

KY -135 ML
KY/UCONN UNDER 142 (-120) best bet

GL :0074
