UNC vs. Gonzaga - NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!

RARELY do I cap such a high profile game for men but this is too good to pass up.

What have they overcome? One of the softest divisions in the entire NCAA?? That's pretty easy to overcome!

BOL on your play Scal

this could be a 1 point victory just like they did to the Ducks 

I've had a dismal tourney this year! Only reason I'm playing this one is the futures bet I made at the start that a 1-seed would make the final at even money. So let's throw some of that money at the final.

UNC has the superior athletes.

Gonzaga has the superior fundamentally sound team.

UNC lost it last year in a heartbreaker. Believe they will be more focused this time around. They shut down Kentucky's Monk, held to 12 pts, after he torched them for 40+ in the regular season. They should focus on Williams-Goss and Karnowski. Limit those two and the game tilts in UNC's favor.

Karnowski Under 17.5 pts/rebs   3 units

UNC margin of victory;   6-10 pts at 7/2  0.5 units

                                     11-15 pts at 17/2 0.5 units

                                     16-20 pts at 15/1 0.5 units

Let us hope the ref's do not decide this game!! My biggest fear.

Scalabrine, really enjoy your write-ups. Thanks for the contributions!

GL everyone!

See ya here next year.

Can't trust a single cent with them.

Gimme the other team + points. 

What has Gonzaga overcome? What have they not overcome that is so less valuable than what UNC has? Every team goes through things, some year to year, some for a decade or more. In my OPINION, they've been told for years they weren't good enough, they've been told a mid major will never win and most of all they've listened to the CRAP of them having a soft schedule. Whether true or not, who cares. They have beaten the teams in front of them and that's all they can do .The thing that matters is that they've gotten here when nobody thought they would and what a chance to showcase their worth against a team thats expected to be here and should have won last year. I understand over the years, these are different players but what's special about Gonzaga is that young men decided to attend there to bring the state of Washington their first title ever. It's never happened before either and it's going to be fun to see how they deal with that tonite. I'm rooting for UNC but I would love to see coach Few get that title. UNC HAS beaten Oregon who beat the unbeatable back court of Kansas and they beat the UCLA Balls. People will look at the zags and say they barely got in here and beat average teams. What has Gonzaga overcome? Years of being told they couldn't. It's that simple. I'm not gonna go back and forth with ya scal cuz i respect you but if your angle to this game is purely redemption, zags backers can point to years of that and say it carries the same weight as a team who handed a title away last year. I can't think of a better game than what we have tonite brotha. Do I bet with my heart or do I sit back and take everything into account. Tough game to cap.

Nice write-up. The unfortunate part about your theory is that while Gonzaga feels this way in spirit, the redemption angle is much stronger in that it happened exactly one year ago and can be corrected.

I just see this Zags team as very good, but not National Championship good. Being square and taking the team with the best pedigree is a tough pill to swallow given all we know about sharp capping. But you have to do it sometimes. This is one of them.

Jason, I think you are in trouble. 

Scal....Love the writeups in all of the sports. I still think you are the best, man!  Good luck!

Zags +2 large for this Tarheel fan! ;)
