Also, I believe UNI has mostly seniors and juniors in their rotation. Experienced team who has played together for a few years.

UNI
They are the much better shooting team, deeper and play good defense. Tuttle will be too much for Harrell to handle. Cards play that zone, which isn't gonna fly against a team with an inside-out game and 5-6 players that shoot 40% fom three. Look no further than what Wichita St did to Kansas to find the out come in this game. UNI isn't gonna blow anybody out, but I'd be surprised if they lose against one of the weaker Louisville teams the last few years. Cards will be more athletic, and that's the one and only advantage they have in this game.

Iowa's coach is nuts. He's bringing his bigs out to guard a 300lb center 30 feet from the basket. And doubling the point guard 30 feet out using one of his bigs. Awful game plan on defense.

I thought so too. Iowa gave up at least a dozen wide open, and I mean wide open, looks the 1st half. Adding a little more on the second half. Gonzaga will win by 20+.

Wichita St has some good scrappy guards. I'm impressed. Too bad Wi St doesn't have a front line.

I agree. UNI matches up well against Louisville. My only worry is UNI's defense against one of the more athletic teams they've faced this year. UNI should be able to toss the ball around the zone, inside-out to Tuttle, and score 65+ points. Louisvilles overplays on defense quite a bit and UNI is Taylor made to pass out of over-aggressive D's to one of their 40% three shooters. Look for Tuttle to have 20+ points and over 5 assists.

UNI will be able to bust up the Card's zone for a dozen-plus threes. Tuttle plays well against bulkier post players like Harrell, so that should be a good match-up for UNI. I like the over in this game and for UNI to win by 6+. UNI is deep so they can be more agreesive on defense than Louisville can
I like Gonzaga to put a whipping on Iowa. Iowa's not a great shooting team, although they can be streaky. Their bigs are bad on the blocks, even though they can play defense well and rebound ok. White is good but he has limited post moves besides a half-hook. White gives 110% on every play whch is fun to watch. The only thing in Iowa's favor in this game is their defense, which is solid most of the time. If Iowa doesn't shoot 50%, this is an easy 12-15 point victory for the Zags. I got Gonzaga -6.5 and UNI -1. Good luck with the rest of your card.

Hawkeyes have a tendency to disappear for long spurts in games. I like Gonzaga to win by a dozen.
I wouldn't out a whole lot of stock in the Davidson score. It was the best game of the year for the Hawks, and worst for Davidson. And Davidson isn't as good as their seed indicated.

Adding more at +5. Villanova is the better team here. They just need to make a few shots. They'll close this out and make it close.

I was thinking the same thing. Besides the first few games this tourney has been a snoozer.

I've watched Iowa play a dozen times this year and they seldom look half this good. Guess that's what bad defense will do, and a team that can't make a three to save their life. Surprised by this final.

Titan, you've got a chance for a big middle.
