30 DIMER - NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS
The G-Man has seen enough to know that North Carolina is simply playing now on another level. The pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place, and not even the great Blake Griffin and his double-doubles are going to save the Sooners from exiting in this round, and it won't even be close.
North Carolina can turn it on at will as evidenced by the 17-2 run they put on LSU to run away in that game, and the 12-0 run they put on Gonzaga on Friday to run away in that contest.
No knock at all on what OU has accomplished, it is just my feeling that the Sooners are not quite ready to take that next step in this tournament. As well as the Sooner backcourt played against Syracuse, this UNC team will present a different set of problems for the Sooners, and in all liklihood, the Heels are just a little quicker, and a little better, and also a tad deeper off the bench than the Sooners are.
What appears to be a "big" impost will evaporate before this one is all said and done.
Take the Tar Heels minus the points.
10 DIMER - LOUISVILLE CARDINALS
As I mentioned above, I have seen enough to know that I don't need to see anymore when it comes to the Louisville Cardinals. Any questions about the 'Ville being a little vunerable were more than answered with their resounding win over a decent Arizona team.
The Cardinals appear to know that it is "money time" in this tournament, and I don't see the fairly pedestrian Spartans standing in their way.
Michigan State was more than lucky to get by Kansas on Friday, as it is not likely they will go on another 12-2 run to close the game today and win outright.
The Spartans have too many scoring droughts during the course of the 40 minutes for the G-Man to trust them at staying inside this climbing number.
When, and I stress WHEN Michigan State goes 4 minutes without a basket, they will find themselves behind by double-digits, and Tom Izzo's team will not have enough firepower to sneak back inside of this number.
Lay it all day long with the Redbirds.
Today's Complimentary Selection
5-0 the last 5 days for free, including Charlotte on Saturday!
Tough spot for the Bulls who were on court Saturday afternoon at home against Indiana, and while Chicago was able to notch win # 4 in a row, things won't be so easy in this one, as Toronto did have Saturday off to get rested-and-ready for this showdown.
The Raptors are now playing free and easy, as they have won and covered the last 3 on this 5 game homestand.
Toronto also won the last meeting 114-94 in Chicago as the 2-point dog. That puts the Raptors at 5-2 both straight up, and against the spread the last 7 series meetings.
We have come to the time of the season when you don't find much "fair" value with teams that need to win in order to up their playoff stock. Such is the case on Sunday.
G-Man backing Toronto to make it 4 straight wins and covers.

3? TORONTO
(on a 1? to 5? basis)
