I'm blindly rolling with UNC again. 1H, 2H, they have just been a cash cow this tourney. Their front court is just too much for anyone to stop right now.

My estimate is NC -1.0.  I will be taking Nova, no matter what the spread

Just checked 5Dimes, indeed, the line is UNC -2.5.  I took the Villanova moneyline +125

Nova had a tougher road to final. UNC has been beating Cinderella teams except for Indiana..
Nova beat 4 teams that where in top 5 at some point during the season.. 
Nova shooting is unreal.. 5/7 ratio in a final 4 game..

Most statistical ranking systems had this game as a pick before tip off of the games this evening so I find it very interesting that UNC is a 2.5 favorite.

Why is this?

Was UNC's 17 point win vs. a 10 seed Syracuse more impressive than Nova setting an all time record for victory of margin?

I think not. So why the line shift? I like UNC to win this game but I have to believe the line will settle back down at 2.

Gamble for entertainment, invest for wealth!

UNC could have done more damage but was 0 of 11 from 3pt range in 1st half... it was very staggering being up DD and shooting from downtown that badly and was 50% shooting overall..

Bettors who are too impressed by Novas 40 pt victory beware.

Line is set where I thought it would be set... had UNC pegged 2.5 before the games were played today.  So opening 2 makes sense after Villanova looked incredible.  However, kind of worried UNC is just too big for them.  

I will likely take Nova because I hate UNC and Roy!

Really tough call ...

Trend ... fade or play ...no matter to me ...

Since 2000 , Dogs have won SU only 4 Times and are just 5 - 11 ATS ...

Keys

Nova to keep NC from Off Reb

NC has to defend the 3 Ball


Should be a great game !!

Such a hard game to pick. I have seen people through the tourney not buying into Nova and they keep killing teams. So many scorers for the wildcats and intense defensive pressure. They are so good at forcing turnovers and translating them into points. During the game UNC forced turnovers and went through stretches where they couldn't get points. Villanova could gain a lot of confidence that way. As if they need it! What to do?
