Tom Izzo has done a masterful job this postseason piloting a team that is no where close to one of his best squads to the verge of another Final Four, however I am of the opinion this is an extremely bad matchup for Sparty.The Cards have the quickness and size on the perimeter to prevent Valentine and Trice, Sparty’s best shooters, from getting it going from deep.In addition, I concede the fact Tum Tum Nairn has been impressive at the point guard position this postseason, but the true freshman has NOT had to make decisions against the type of ball pressure that Ricky P. will throw at him today.
I see top five NBA draft pick Trez Harrell having a HUGE day in the paint as Sparty does NOT have anyone that can physically matchup with him.I love Brandon Dawson, but he does NOT have the strength to guard Harrell on the block; if Izzo gives Dawson the Harrell assignment, he will spend the majority of this game on the bench in foul trouble.I like Louisville to march on to the Final Four in this spot and there is excellent value in the Cards ML (+130), but due to NO Chris Jones I will elect to take the insurance policy in this spot.
With all that being said, put me down for Louisville plus the chalk (2.5) for a Dime please.Thanks!
No hard opinion on the game but Harrell is definitely NOT A TOP 5 PICK.. He be lucky to get drafted in the 1st round period.
