ML 811 Villanova (-130) Pinnacle 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!

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.

SATURDAY ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE SOCCER

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

Pinnacle
Villanova (-2) over Oklahoma
5:09 PM (EDT) -- NRG Stadium
Pinnacle-- 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.
