Final set of games provides one more play to close out weekend. USC & Michigan State battle at 5:00 pm est. Perhaps the most physical Pac 10 team takes on bruiser gone high flyer Spartans. This will be one of the real entertaining games of the weekend. Teams can play any style, but look for a high paced, pivot, pass, tear ass tempo to cap off the day. THUS:
1st half: over 60.5 ONE UNIT
Game:: over 129.5 ONE UNIT
BOL
Undaunted! The analysis was right, but the execution by Jeff Adrien, the Purdue "O", and the refs, not calling anything led to this loss. This could have easily been a mid 70's total. Nevertheless this game flys over 70 in 2nd half, assuming the Huskies convert 50% of their FT Atts. THUS:
2nd Half: Over 70 TWO UNITS- considered a much larger wager, but......
will stay conservative....
BOL
I could be totally wrong, but I see Duke and Nova defending each other early. The matchups are even with a slight quickness edge to Nova. What could send the 1st half over is fouls and free throws. I stay away, when I see this type of size, skill and style square off. No surprise, if it goes over 69. Just a gut call on under 69. NO PLAY
Memphis has been nothing less then spectacular. Question the schedule, if you will. They can only control their non conference slate, which is typically challenging. I feel Missouri actually will dictate pace here with Memphis is not afraid to go up & down. Memphis defense will be neutralized by the pace. No surprise to me, if the Big 12 squad leads at the half. 40 minutes may be another deal. Will proceed cautiously, with a 1st half play. THUS:
1st half: over 66 ONE UNIT
BOL
These sprints often end up being marathon pace in the last twenty minutes. However: this just feels like a 100m, 200m, and 400m.....Mo has the mo and can only play one way. Memphis has no choice but to chase the pace. No paralysis by analysis here. THUS:
2nd half: over 76.5 ONE UNIT
BOL
