ML 811 Villanova (-130) Pinnacle (http://cappersmall2.com/lines.php) vs 812 Oklahoma triple-dime bet

Analysis: Didn't want to rush into the play so I waited. In this game vs. Oklahoma I expect Villanova to play a similar style game they played vs. Kansas. In that game, the Wildcats were very efficient on each possession. They knew if they played up tempo with Kansas they would be in trouble. By shortening the game they never let Jayhawk star Perry Ellis get on track. Their perimeter defense was pretty solid although they let Devonte Graham open too many times. The rest of the team got nothing uncontested.
I was at the 2011 Final Four at NRG in Houston. One of the worst games ever played in the Final game was Butler vs. UConn. The Final Score was 53-41 UConn. Butler made three 2-point buckets the entire game. They shot ( 12 of 64 ) for the game, a whopping 18.8%. UConn was just ( 1 of 11 ) from three point range and shot 34% from the floor.
With the depth perception at NRG, long range shooting has been a ni ’ghtmare. Buddy Hield grew up in the Bahamas shooting into square milk crates at 6 AM & 11 PM so he's not going to whine about the conditions. If he's able to master the Football Stadium venue, the Sooners can win easily. Heck, they blew out Nova in Pearl Harbor by 23 earlier this season. I'm thinking that even Buddy Love will suffer from distance on Saturday. If Jay Wright's Cats can play as disciplined against Oklahoma as they did vs. Kansas then I think the Cats beat the Sooners. In the Kansas game Kris Jenkins was saddled the entire game in foul trouble and could never get a feel for the game. Ryan Arcidiacono played a cerebral game from wire to wire and Daniel Ochefu was able to go around Landon Collins several times in the paint. I need to see more of that play from the Cats. I think Ochefu can go around Khadeem Lattin for some easy buckets. I think Nova will work the ball around and take solid, quality shots and that will be the difference in the game- I like Nova 70-63 in this one!

"Final Four GOM" 3* on VILLANOVA $$line

More on the play coming in Saturday morning. The bottom line for me here, is that I have Villanova winning this game by at least 6 poÎints.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Ralph Michaels - California Sports

#811 2.5* Villanova -2 Oklahoma 6:05 PM

#811/812 1.5* UNDER 145.5

The Wildcats are playing a zone for the FIRST time ever under HC Jay Wright and as you would expect its been a work in progress making their first meeting with OU an understandable blowout loss. The Sooners are a 3 pt shooting team and made 13 in their last game but Villanova can defend them. Kansas was the #4 team in the Country in 3 pt shooting yet they were held to 22.2% versus Nova. Also in their last 7 games the Wildcats held all 7 foes to under 70 points and even more impressive they held those 7 teams to 10 ppg under their season scoring average.


#813 1* Syracuse +9.5 North Carolina 8:45 PM

#813/814 1* UNDER 145.5

These are the only here because its the Final Four. Syracuse came back from big deficits versus Gonzaga and Virginia when they went to their press. North Carolina basically has two point guards and are the best in the county not only burning the press but turning it into quick points. However with the third meeting this season and Cuse only losing the pair by 6 ppg it's a very small lean.



PROPS IF YOU CAN PLAY THEM

3* Daniel Ochefu OVER 10 points

Ochefu averaged 10 ppg this season but in this tourney his minutes have gone from 23 min/gm to 28 min/gm, That coupled with a a 6'11" frame versus either of Oklahoma front court players (6'8" 230 & 6'9" 215) give him an edge. This venue is also one of the toughest on outside shooters as it is cavernous so expect them to look inside more that they have in the past.

3* Jordan Woodard OVER 13 points

Woodard is avg 13 ppg on the season so no surprise this is where the number is at. However, OU HC Lon Krueger did something very unusual and switch the main ball handler about 5 games ago giving Isiah Cousins the job. That allows Woodard to shoot more and he's done so avg 18 ppg in the tourney. With Villanova's main goal to stop Buddy Heild that puts less pressure on their number 2 option which will be Woodard here.

3 Unit Play. Take West Ham -105 over Crystal Palace (10:00a.m., Saturday, April 2) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if the game ends in a DRAW we have a loser)
Crystal Palace last league 'W' was on December 19 when they beat Stoke City 2-1 but since then they have dropped 13 games without a victory. West Ham last 6 league games they have gone 3-1-2 and they have won three straight home games. Look for West Ham to grab another home victory and I see them winning either 1-0 or 2-0 against Palace.

SATURDAY MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER

3 Unit Play. Take UNDER 2.5 -120 Toronto FC at Colorado (8:00p.m., Saturday, April 2) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if the game ends in a DRAW we have a loser)
Toronto first 3 league games this young season 2 of them have gone UNDER and Colorado has gone a perfect 0-3 O/U in their first 3 league games this year. So with that why isn't this total a solid 2? I see both teams trying to get ball possession and defense will be key and we should see great goalie play from both squads. Jump on this total before the juice climbs or the oddsmaker moves the total to 2.

4 Unit Play. Take San Jose -145 over DC United (10:30p.m., Saturday, April 2) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if the game ends in a DRAW we have a loser)

SUNDAY ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE SOCCER

7 Unit Play. Take Manchester United +105 over Everton (11:00a.m., Sunday, April 3) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if the game ends in a DRAW we have a loser)
If this matchup was in mid-February then I would have been looking to fade Man U but as of late the Man U Red Devils have been playing some quality football. Man U is coming off a huge league victory over rivals Man City 1-0 last month on the road. Man U has played really well at home winning 3-straight and outscoring their opponent 7-2 in those 3 home games. I see a very tight match in Old Trafford Stadium and I see the Manchester United Red Devils scoring late in the 2nd half and winning this match 1-0.

Perfect Play
Syracuse (+9½) over North Carolina
7:49 PM (EDT) -- NRG Stadium
Perfect Play-- Syracuse Here''s your first bulletin. Expect North Carolina to have a tougher time against the upstart Orange than any game they''ve played thus far. Malachi Richardson is an amazing freshman guard causing havoc. His play is inspiring the rest of the Cuse players. North Carolina swept Syracuse in the regular season, but it''s difficult to beat a good team three times in a season. And Syracuse has hit its stride. In their last meeting on Feb. 29, a 75-70 loss, the Orange showed glimpses of how they could beat North Carolina. Full-court pressure propelled the Orange in wins against Gonzaga and Virginia, and the signature 2-3 zone has never looked better. Their players arms are very long and make shots very difficult (they are measured and recruited that way). The Tar Heels are not the greatest shooting team from 3-point land and with hands and arms in your face, their success will not get better. Syracuse has turned into one of our favorite ''underdog'' teams in the tournament. The Orange have parlayed excellent defense (56 PPG) into a winning effort as they''ve slid by quality team after quality team. Syracuse''s defense creates their offense and they could easily upset Carolina

Villanova (-2) over Oklahoma
5:09 PM (EDT) -- NRG Stadium
Pinnacle (http://www.cappersmall.com/forums/redirect-to/?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fcappersmall2.com%2Flines.ph p)-- Villanova - ***Final 4 Game of Year The Villanova Wildcats are fresh off a stunning 64-59 upset over tournament-favorite Kansas, which only serves as reason to believe leading scorers Josh Hart, Kris Kenkins, and Ryan Arcidiacono can advance to the title game. Coach Jay Wright has a few weapons to throw at a Sooners defense that’s surrendered 70 points a contest during the tournament; like 78 ppg. Defensively the Wildcats are excellent, allowing only 63.5 points per game, ranking them 15th overall, and hold opponents to 40.5 % shooting. The Sooners are a jump shooting team and that could play into the Wildcats defense pressure. On offense, the Wildcats are balanced and wear teams down mentally and physically by moving the ball and finding the open man. Nova is a team that plays tight, disciplined defense, and that allows the Wildcats to control the tempo. Buddy Hield for Oklahoma, the player of the year, will score 30+ points but the Wildcats have more scoring punch to overcome his offense. There are no weak links on this Nova squad.

6:05 EST
Rotation #811-812
Oklahoma +2 over Villanova
Buddy Hield is the best player in the country and typically in these tournament great players step up and show us how incredible they are. Nova is a great basketball team, but I don’t think they have the athletic ability to shutdown the starters that the Sooners have. If Nova can get Oklahoma into foul trouble they have a great shot at winning this game, but again I think this game comes down to the final minutes and Hield will take over. Take Oklahoma.

8:45 EST
Rotation #813-814
UNC -9.5 over Syracuse
It was wild seeing the NIT Final Four teams have better RPI ratings than Cuse. This is a great basketball team with a hell of a coach, but today they go up against in my opinion the best team in the nation. UNC is too athletic and will get second chance points. Syracuse is not a good offensive team and just can keep up with a superior team in this type of game. This might be close for the first half, but the magic for the Orange should run out. Take UNC.

7-Unit Play. Take #813 Syracuse (+9.5) over North Carolina (8:45 p.m., Saturday, April 2)

The Orange have proven that their defensive capabililties are good enough to keep pace and even beat the teams they have faced in the NCAA Tournament. I do feel that this Carolina team is the biggest, strongest, and most athletic team the Orange have faced and their size will give Cuse difficulties. I also feel however, that the momentum that the Orange have right now is strong enough to keep this game close. The points are a "must grab." Syracuse will have the advantage in coaching in this game as Roy Williams is terribly overrated. North Carolina is where they are due to the players and not the coach. Take the points here as the Cuse is 6-0 ATS in their last six games versus teams with a winning percentage of .600 or more.

NCAA Final Four
NRG Stadium, Houston, TX
Villanova (-2) vs. Oklahoma 6:05 ET
Oklahoma and Villanova meet in the Final Four lid lifter at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX. The game is slated for a 6:05 ET tip, as televised by TBS TV. These two met earlier this season in Hawaii on December 7th. The Sooners bolted to an early lead and never looked back, recording a (78-75) victory. Much of that margin came on 3 point differential. Oklahoma made (14) 3 pointers in that game (4 each by Hield and Cousins), while Villanova could knock down just 4/32 from behind the arc. That difference of (10) 3 pointers translates to 30 points!
Today, the Wildcats are looking to get their revenge for one of only 5 losses this season. That includes an outstanding record in the Big East of 16-2 SU. In the Wildcats only revenge game of the year against Providence, they won on the road (72-60) as 5 point road chalk after suffering their only home loss of the season (82-76) as 13 point home favorite January 24th. Villanova has been scorching opponents all season long with a 4 perimeter attack, surrounding quality big man, Ochefu in the paint. The steadying hand of senior PG Arcidiacono runs the show with slashers and shooters such as Jenkins and Hart offering support. After losing to Seton Hall in the Big East CCT Final (69-67), the Wildcats have stormed the NCAA handling increasingly more difficult opposition. With an 86-56 win over Asheville and an 87-68 win over Iowa, a 92-69 win over Miami and a 64-59 win over Kansas. Along the way, they have covered those four games by an amazing 54 points. Thus entering on a 4-0 SU ATS run, off a straight up dog win over the Tourney’s No. 1 seed, Kansas. That’s a bit too rich for my blood. Granted, Villanova is a (8.7) 3* fundamental team. These teams are 22-15 ATS (60%) in the NCAA Tourney, when NOT facing another 3* fundamental team. Oklahoma is NOT with a negative net TO margin. Just to remind you, 3* fundamental teams have a positive rebound margin, a positive assist/TO ratio and a positive TO margin. The Wildcats drive and dish offense averages 78 PPG on 47% shooting (they hold opponents to just 40%). Nova knocks down 8.7 triples per game and seals the deal with 78% foul shooting. Impressive to be sure, yet our vote for today’s winner is the Oklahoma Sooners.
Anyone who watched the best college basketball game of the year on January 4th saw Oklahoma lose a 3 OT game at Kansas, where the Jayhawks rarely lose (61-2 SU L4Y). Despite losing that game, the Sooners showed enough for them to be widely considered as the No. 1 team in the nation. Until the NCAA Tourney, however, they did not play to their potential. Since January 2nd, the 29-7 SU Sooner team went only 13-7 SU, following their loss to WVU in the CCT by a score of (69-67). That defeat also dropped them to a slide of 6-16 ATS since a cover vs. Washington St. (December 16th). But, fortunes have turned for the Sooners at just the right time. After wins vs. Baker and VCU (the first weekend), the Sooners played incredible basketball in the Sweet 16 and Elite 8, winning virtually wire-to-wire against A&M (77-63) and Oregon (80-63) covering those games by a combined 29 points. Now peaking at the perfect time, I believe the Sooners have the potential to win this event. Four experienced players in Hield, Cousins, Woodard and Spangler (over 100 consecutive starts together) have added Latin to their starting rotation for a group that clicks together with outstanding chemistry. These Sooners score 81 PPG and knock down an amazing 10.4 triples at 43% from behind the arc. An outburst of 14 triples, as in the first game vs. Villanova, simply would not surprise! And, if the game comes down to crunch-time, we are more than ready to put our money on “the player.” That, of course, would be Buddy Hield (the best NCAA Basketball player in the nation).

Syracuse vs North Carolina (-9-) 8:50 ET
Syracuse and North Carolina tip off the night cap of the Final Four at a scheduled time of 8:50 eastern Saturdayevening as televised by TBS TV. These ACC Conference foes met twice this season. In Boeheim’s return from a nine game suspension the Orange hosted the Heels at the Carrier Dome. North Carolina prevailed 84-73, despite shooting just 3/16 from behind the arc. The rematch came on February 29th in North Carolina’s LHG. Again, North Carolina prevailed, despite knocking down just 6 of 25 triples. A combined 9/41 from behind the arc is only 22%. If you can only knock down 1 out of 5 three point shots against the Syracuse zone, it seems unlikely that you would get the sweep. That is the scary part of making a selection on the Orange, as they lost both games despite Boeheim’s fabled 2-3 zone doing its job. Syracuse did little better from long range, going a combined 14-51 (27%) in the two games.
With the best statistical numbers in the Tournament, North Carolina is a (17.2) three star fundamental team. To again remind everyone the meaning of that rating, you are a three star fundamental team if you have a positive rebound margin (8.2), a positive TO/assist margin (+6.8), and a positive net TO margin (+2.2). The sum of those, 17.2, is the highest among any team in the NCAA. It is no surprise that North Carolina has made it to the Final Four. Note that when three star fundamental teams play teams who do NOT have a three star rating, these teams are 22-15 ATS (60%) in the NCAA Tournament this year. That is another scary reason to favor the Orange in this matchup. North Carolina enters this game with a 9 game winning streak; 5 more than any of the other Final Four participants, none of whom won their CCT. Since the post season (CCT) began, Carolina has whipped Pitt by 17, Notre Dame by 32, Virginia by 4, FGCU by 16, Providence by 19, Indiana by 15, and Notre Dame (again) by 14. With Johnson, Meeks, and Jackson up front, along with Page and Berry on the perimeter, there are few weaknesses for North Carolina. But remember that Achilles heel of North Carolina, which finds them knocking down just 5.4 triples per game at 31%.
For a team who wasn’t supposed to make the post season party (they lost 5 of 6 going in, including a 3 game losing streak), the Orange have done quite well for themselves. To date in this event, they have recorded a 19 point win over Dayton, beat MTSU by 25, took out Gonzaga by 3, and beat Virginia by 6 after trailing last weekend in that game by as many as 16 points in the closing minutes of the game. For those keeping score, that is 4-0 SU ATS, off consecutive underdog wins, with point spread coverage of 64 points (16 PPG) in the NCAA Tournament.
There are few results that would surprise me in this game, as any outcome within 15 points of the line is thinkable. The athletic, but very young, pressure defense of the Orange that succeeded so well against Virginia could actually backfire on them against the North Carolina team that thrives in the open court. Rather than resulting in a 6 point win as they did vs Virginia, it could result in a 20 point North Carolina blowout. And Boeheim knows it. At the other end of the spectrum, the Syracuse zone appears to be an ideal weapon against North Carolina. Their athletic front line can pack the paint against the larger North Carolina front, yet they are rangy enough, all starters 6’4 or taller, to sprint to the perimeter to defend three pointers (the zone will look much like a pack line defense in this example). In any event, Boeheim, who has coached it for 40 years, is well aware of how to use the strength of his players and hide their weaknesses against every type of opponent.
With North Carolina a bit over confident after beating Syracuse twice, it would be no surprise to find the Orange competitive throughout. As described above, this game could well be decided in the closing minutes when the Orange are forced to pick up the pace if behind. Lean to the Orange in a game that I believe Syracuse could actually win.

My 75 Dime selection is on Villanova over Oklahoma. The current line on this game is -2 in Vegas and offshore. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.

ANALYSIS
They will get their revenge tonight.

I get the fact the Sooners drilled Nova by 23 points in Pearl Harbor back in December but rest assured, this is a different Villanova team the Sooners will see today.

Listen, you let a team shoot 46% from the floor, 14 of 26 from 3 while you shoot 31% and 4 of 32 from 3, yes sport fans, you are going to get blown out.

Final 78-55.

Now fast forward to now.

In watching Villanova in this tourney, they have absolutely been dominant in every single game going 4-0 SU and ATS.

After losing to Seton Hall in the big east championship game by two 69-67, they have proceeded to roll through this tourney with wins by 30, 21, 23 and 4.

Ask UNC Asheville how good Nova is playing losing 86-56, or Iowa who lost 87-68 or Miami who lost 92-69 and of course the overall #1 seed Kansas who lost 64-59.

To put it bluntly, this is a whole different animal the Sooners will see tonight.

As for Oklahoma, they to have arrived here after a two point loss in their conference tourney ironically enough by the same exact score Nova lost, 69-67.

However, in their 4 games to arrive here, they struggled to put away Cal Bakersfield in round one and were on the ropes in round two against VCU.

They did take care of business in the sweet sixteen against Texas A&M and the Elite 8 over Oregon but don't let those 2 wins lead you to believe they are peaking.

They are not.

As well as the Sooners matched up with the Aggies and the Ducks, they will have their hands full with Jay Wright and his Wildcats all night long tonight.

With tape of the first meeting, with 5 days to prep his team, with as good as the Wildcats played against Kansas, they will be just as good today.

Revenge is a dish best served up cold and when the smoke clears tonight, it will be Villanova doing what they have done this entire tourney so far: win and cover.

Villanova is 34-15-1 their last 51 non conference games and 39-18-2 ATS their last 58 games versus a team with a winning SU record.

The Sooners are 3-7 ATS last 10 tourney games, 3-10 ATS last 13 games versus a team with a winning % above .600.

Last but not least, 3-11 ATS last 14 games versus a team with a winning SU record.

It's been a great ride for Buddy Hield and these Sooners but the bottom line is they get taken down by a team just playing better basketball right now.

Congrats to Nova nation as they punch their ticket to the championship game

3 Unit Play Take #15 Detroit -135 over Toronto (7:35pm est):


The Detroit Red Wings are fighting for their playoff lives. They got a nice win last night and have been playing some decent hockey of late. They go into Toronto here so it's not much of a road trip. The Maple Leafs are out of the post-season race and don't have much to play for. They have a ton of injuries as well right now and are going with their backup goalie in this one.


Take Detroit here.

2-Unit Play. Take #20 Edmonton (-140) over Calgary (10:05) p.m., Saturday, Apr. 2)


Calgary is in shambles right now and Edmonton can still see the future evolving with their young players. The flames trouble on defense continues to be issues and they're giving up way too many goals. Edmonton seems to be playing stronger on defense and think their offense will start clicking against the worst defense in the league. Take the home team tonight .


Best of luck. Strike Point Sports.

5-Unit Play. Take #805 Toronto (+11) over San Antonio (8:30 p.m., Saturday, April 2)


This is just too many points for the Spurs to be laying in this game. Don't get me wrong, San Antonio has the ability to win any game at home by this number, but Toronto knows that the Cavs seem like a boat taking on water with all of their behind the scenes issues, and they want to make a statement. The Raptors are going to do everything they can to catch the Cavs and to keep this game close. San Antonio goes out on the road after this game, and they are looking ahead to that situation just a bit which will allow Toronto to keep this game close. Toronto is 4-0 ATS when playing the second game of a back-to-back in their last four tries. San Antonio meanwhile is just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games versus the Eastern Conference.


Best of Luck - Strike Point Sports

YOUR TOP SELECTION:

7-Unit Play. Take #018 Nashville -125 over San Jose (Saturday, April 2 at 8:05 PM ET)

Take Nashville on the moneyline as my 7-Unit NHL Smash for Saturday night. This pick falls into one of my top NHL systems and Nashville is the superior team here at home tonight. The Predators are 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 6-0 in their last 6 home games against the Sharks. The Predators are 7-3 in their last 10 games against a Pacific Division opponent, and I look for them to bounce back with a strong game at home, as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games after a loss by 3 or more goals. The Sharks are just 1-4 in their last 5 games when playing with 1 day of rest and the home team is 36-17 in the last 53 games played between these two teams. Play Nashville with extreme confidence as they bounce back against a team they have owned at home. If you have not done so yet make sure you get my 2016 MLB package at the early-bird price. I own MLB and it is the #1 sport to pad your bankroll.

4-Unit Play #801 Take Indiana/Philadelphia – UNDER 203
(7:30 p.m. EST, Saturday)
These teams played over a week ago in Indiana and the total reached only 166. While that game does not mean a whole lot in regards to this one as every NBA game is its own animal, we do expect this game to go well under the posted number. The Sixers played hard last night at Charlotte and we think they come into this one flat. This team has been very poor on back-to-backs and they average well under their season average for scoring in these situations. Indiana has been pretty good on defense lately against bad offensive games like this and we could see them holding the Sixers down to a real low score. Similarly, the Pacers aren’t a team that normally goes crazy on offense and we don’t see them having a 110-type game here. They will probably just get over the century mark as they normally do. And since this is a crucial game for them we see them upping the defensive pressure here in a likely blowout.

3-Unit Play #803 Take Detroit +2.5
over Chicago
(8 p.m. EST, Saturday)
This is basically a must-win game for both teams here. The Pistons have a small cushion as they two games ahead of the Bulls in the No. 7 spot in the East and Chicago is currently No. 9 and one game out of the playoffs. But we think the Pistons are the better team in this matchup and we thought this line should be pickem or Detroit -1. The Bulls have had a couple nice games lately but this team hasn’t shown any consistency all season and we don’t see them changing their stripes during the stretch run. This team hasn’t been a good bet at home all season and we think this will be a close game but expect the Pistons to close it out at the end. They are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings in Chicago.

3-Unit Play #808 Take Denver -9.5
over Sacramento
(9 p.m. EST, Saturday)
Rajon Rondo and DeMarcus Cousins are out here for the Kings. Those are their two best players. And Denver coach Mike Malone will not have any sympathy for this short-handed squad as it is the one that fired him last season. This is the kind of guy that players respect and we have no doubt that his team will play hard for him tonight while we just don’t see the Kings putting up much of an effort as they have absolutely nothing to play for and they pretty much stink even with Rondo and Cousins in the lineup. Denver has had a tough, road-heavy stretch lately and they haven’t played too well. But this team has some talent and they will be ultra motivated being at home for the first time in a bit and playing this particular opponent that is weakened without its stars.

MIKE DAVIS
4-Unit Play. Take #814 UNC -9.5
over Syracuse
(Saturday, April 2nd at 8:45 p.m.)
My spreadsheet has UNC winning this game by a final score of 83-69. The key components in this matchup are overall talent and recent form.
North Carolina is playing the best basketball out of any team remaining in the tournament. They have been “scary” good as of late and I look for them to take it to Syracuse tonight. The ‘Cuse did well to get to this point but they haven’t faced a complete team like UNC in this tourney. They were able to play UNC close once this year but lost to them by 11 at home. North Carolina has been really good at making free throws down the stretch and pulling away from teams late in games. I see that happening again tonight. The inside-outside game of the Tar Heels has been exceptional and the guard rotation has really served Roy Williams well. That will be especially crucial tonight vs. the Amoeba Zone defense of the Orange.
Take UNC

6 Unit Play. Take #813 Over 144.5 Syracuse at North Carolina
(8:45p.m., Saturday April 2)
Yes I know the Syracuse Orange plays outstanding team zone defense but the North Carolina Tar Heels have a high octane offense. In both meetings this year UNC won both meetings and UNC scored 75 and 84 points. I see UNC controlling the pace of the game and if that is the case look for UNC to make this a fast tempo. North Carolina is averaging 89.3ppg in the NCAA Tournament and if the Orange can’t slow down the big men down low that UNC have this game could be ugly quick and we could see tons of points tonight.
