Louisville/Michigan State UNDER 58 (1st half)...... I hope I'm not "going to the well one too many times" with this bet. I've been hitting MSU 1st half UNDERS all season and I'm gonna try it again. I just think these two teams are gonna start slow, try and feel each other out. Not to mention, MSU and Louisville are tied for 2nd in the country in Defensive FG% allowed and while MSU does rank 11th in Offensive FG%, Pitino's boys don't even crack the top 200 in Offenisive FG%. I think we're gonna have another ugly start to this game. 
As far as the side is concerned, I think MSU could potentially mop the floor with Louisville (and I don't say that very often about MSU). There's no reason for me to bet MSU though with my futures bet pending and a few bracket contests I'm in needing them to win. I'm not even gonna hedge my futures bet on Sparty, even with a 5-point 'dog!!!! Is it me being stupid? Possibly, but I don't see how Louisville has any advantage anywhere. MSU should have their way down low, rebounding and getting good looks offensively. Izzo is 5-0 SU and 5-0 ATS all-time in the Big Dance v.s. the Big East (and I think Sparty was a 'dog in at least 4 of those games), his teams have just showed past Big East teams what physical basketball really is.
3 years ago, Pitino and Izzo hooked up in the Elite 8. Pitino brought in the Number 1 seed overall in the tournament with his big, bad Louisville Cardinals. Sparty was merely a #2 seed that had won the Big Ten but gotten very little respect all year long. MSU punched Louisville in the mouth, Louisville fall down....go boom. They didn't get up, no response at all, players wanting to come out of the game rather than play down low with MSU. THAT was a better Louisville team and THAT was a worse MSU team.......nuff said. 66-55, Sparty.
Good luck ya'll
