In all of the Shockers losses this season opponents have either gotten hot from 3, or there has been a large differential in FTs made. Shooting 3s is not Louisville's M.O. They have one pure perimeter shooter in Hancock.
On the other end of the court, 3 of the Cards' 5 losses have come against teams who defend extremely well around the basket (Cuse, Nova, GTown). The other 2 losses were Duke sans Dieng (how'd Round 2 go?) and the 5OT game vs Notre Dame.
The way the zebras call this game will be an enormous deciding factor. Both teams have key players who have trouble defending without fouling at times. This unknown variable is enough to keep me from betting the game before tipoff.
The way I see it, if Louisville covers this number it will be because they stay aggressive, drive the lane, and get to the charity stripe a ton (the way the Buckeyes were able to in the final 10 minutes of the Elite 8 game).
Both teams should be able to limit their opponents strengths offensively, but again the ability to do so without fouling will be key. Gonna wait and see how this game is being officiated. If the refs let the kids play I like the Shockers to cover the number, however I do not see anything or anyone stopping the Cards from winning the national championship.

Will be looking to play Louisville in the title game. I have the Cards winning in my bracket, and I believed they'd win it all year long. I also had a future on them to win it last season. Not going against all that now. I have also bet against Michigan 3 times in the tourney going 0-3.
Gonna take my chances that a better number becomes available live, and if not I'll just watch the Cardinals cut down the nets
