Maryland +2!!

[Coach Burns]

Well I sure sucked on that Lady Vol pick. Cant
win them all. I was just looking at the Final
Four lines and I really like the Terps tonight
against the Jayhawks. Maryland have played
the whole season to get back to the Final
Four and then a National Championship game.
I really think they are focused and ready for
tonight and then again Monday. I dont think
that much handicapping is needed in this game.
It will come down to who shoots the ball the best.
Both teams have great inside games and outside
games too. Great coaches as well. It eventually
comes down to 1 player making a play and I just
see someone like Dixon stepping up tonight. He
is a damn player and like him on my side tonight.
It's to bad that they dont re-seed the Final Four
because this would be a great National Championship
game with no disrespect to Indiana and Oklahoma.
I just Maryland winning this game by 3-4 pts and
they are catching pts.

Maryland +2

I just got to looking at tonight's total and
one of them really jumped out at me. I know
that Kansas and Maryland both can score pts
in bunches but I just dont see it tonight in a
game this big. Both teams will be a little more
conservative I think. I see a score of 74-70
Maryland and that is way under the total
of 169. Bet that under and be winning as soon
as you make the bet. I think one of the teams
would have to score 90 to make it go over
and I cant see that.

Kansas/Maryland under 169

i don't see why OU doesn't deserve the #1 seed as much as Kansas or Maryland.....they have proved themselves more than capable than either of those teams.....I think the Sooners are a stronger #1 seed based on their YTD record than any other team....they also are the last team to not lose left.....they destroyed Maryland -- albeit at home, beat Kansas soundly at Kemper in their last matchip with them, beat UConn on the road, and only losses are on the road to tournament teams during the season.....

I personally think they are the favorite to win the whole thing right now....only concernes I have are that the refs may not let them play physical......that is the only way i see them getting beat right now....

Hey Coach, little off the subject but I see you are a teacher. Did you ever teach and coach basketball at Mississinewa High School?
