Miami

+5... 12************.. ML +200.. 6******  Has been battle tested all tournament and have one of the if not the best guard duos. UConn has been in cruise control, who knows what will happen if they fall down early... Way too much love for UConn.. In a tight game, My moneys on Miami..  as always BOL Gentlemen 

@Fallser29

 This is absolutely the right take. The public has crowned UConn the “overwhelming favorite” of this Final 4 for some reason. Why? Because they cruised in 3 straight games? They lost 7 games this year and are only a 4 seed (losing to Marquette less than 2 weeks ago)

 Miami is VERY good and has been disrespected all tournament long (underdogs 3 games in a row). They will bring the FIGHT on Saturday!!

Let’s go Canes!!!

Agreed. In a tight game, which I expect, I want good guards with experience. Pack, Wong, Miller have a combined 12 years of college playing experience. UCONN brings experience to the table too but not as much as these guys. They have great chemistry and are an excellent FT shooting team, 78%, we certainly saw that against Texas, 28/32. How many times do we see teams miss important FTs down the stretch, happens all the time. UCONN shoots FTs well too, 75.8 but edge to MIA. As you mentioned, the college basketball world is completely enamored with UCONN, I get it. But I've seen this movie before. CANES +5.5 and a couple pennies on the ML. GL!

I think you are all over analyzing this game. UCONN is on a roll and will be the NCAA Champions 

UCONN-130

FAU +580

MIAMI +441

SDST +367

Maybe a stupid statement but I can see SDST vs UCONN and SDST somehow pulling a miracle. Least liability for the books. Noone will be taking SDST to win. More then likely I could see public largely backing UCONN and Miami as possible Nattys at this point with the final 4.

@badiola

 So Miami is not on a roll? Maybe you need to do a little more analyzing.

I think uconn wins but i wouldnt lay the 5. Im kinda suprised the line being that high. It is fitting tho as seems miami aint getting any respect. Only 2.5 fav over drake. A dog to indy a dog to texas after beating houston. I definatly can see miami winning striaght up but my gut says it comes down to the end and uconn wins a close one by 3 or 4 pts.

that's a high line, don't be fooled. Hint, hint.

@Raider4life22

 Agree, i am worried about a back door  cover with a higher number at 5.5 . Trying to figure the best way to play it.   And miami only 2.5 fav over drake was proper, they got shit stomped the whole game and needed a 16-1 run in the final minutes to win that game. In fact, miami has needed a run of 15-2 or greater in EVERY SINGLE GAME it has played this tourny to pull ahead. The one exception was houston, but they got within 4 in the 2nd half and then gave up a 16-2 run. 

Uconn is not a team that is prone to giving up droughts or runs like that. If it does happen, though, then you can expect miami to actually have a chance  as in every uconn loss this year they gave up a massive run of 13-2 or greater in order to lose.  The only game they played from behind nearly the whole game this year was xavier when they started off the game giving up a 12-2 run and never recovered. Somehow still had the game within 3 in the 2nd half after being down 15 , and it was a final of 3 pt game in the end.

So if theres any way miami can conceivably win this game, its by hoping that uconn goes cold and they can capitalize on a 10-0, 13-3 type run .  The way uconn is playing though, it is less probable that this happens. They are clicking on all cylinders, are fully healthy, and are hitting their shots. And for the people who think that uconn is over hyped and inflated and the perception is skewed because of these blow out wins, well that is absolute dog shit. Uconn played a rank 18, rank 10, and rank 5 team to get here. And did so in smashing fashion. Miami on the other hand has been losing in every single game (except houston) and like i said needed the other team to literally not make shots for 5+ minutes in order for them to secure victory.

And whoever mentioned free throws coming down to miami , dog shit take. Uconn is 46/56 this tourny, 82% as a team. Their big shoots around 80% which is critical. Miami has shot a total of 86 free throws to uconns 56. thats an entire game plus more than uconn. after last games disparity which was unbelievably favored towards miamis side,  lets hope the refs swallow their whistles and let them play this weekend.
