15 Dime Release

Kansas State

Butler has won 23 straight since a road loss to UAB on December 19, but since the streak started, who have the Bulldogs beaten other than Syracuse the other night? Running the table in the Horizon League, beating the likes of Detroit, Wright State and Wisconsin-Green Bay doesn't exactly compare to Kansas State's weekly Big 12 wars against teams like Baylor, KU, Texas and Texas A&M, right?

Okay, Butler destroyed Big Dance invite Siena in its bracket-buster game in mid-February, but would the Saints finish ahead of even Colorado or Iowa State in the Big 12?

The Bulldogs downed UTEP and Murray State in the first two rounds of the Tournament, respeetively, but foes from Conference USA and the Ohio Valley Conference weren't intimidating.

That brings us to Syracuse. The Orange, other than their two opening Big Dance wins, had not been playing well of late and they were minus their starting center. Game, set, match Butler.

Kansas State's double-OT win against Xavier was certainly draining, but I pegged this team for the Final Four at the outset of the Tournament and I'm now backing off now.

The Wildcats, unlike Syracuse, attack the boards with aggression and that keys a devasetating fast break led by guards Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente, who average a combined 36 ppg.

Yes, Butler held Syracuse to just 48 shots and 59 total points, but they will not be forcing 18 turnovers against the Wildcats as they did versus the Orange.

Almost overlooked in Bulldogs' Sweet 16 upset is the fact they shot just 40% from the field and missed 18 of 24 three-point tries. This is a team that lives and dies beyond the arc, and don't expect their percenteges to go up dramatically against a Kansas State backcourt that is more agressive and athletic than anything Syracuse could offer as a chalenge.

Kansas State is 22-9 ATS this season, including 14-2 when laying single digits. And the price of this game is being discounted by the oddsmakers because of the grueling Xavier victory. Fatigue can wait another day; the Wildcats return to the Final Four for the first time since 1964 with a nine-point win.

4* (POD) Los Angeles Lakers First Quarter -1.5 -115

Lakers will come out "angry focused" tonight, after getting their butts kicked last night vs. Oklahoma City. Houston are seriously banged up. Battier is out. Kevin Martin hurt his shoulder and missed Thursday's game, and this is on top of Anderson, Hill & Jeffries injuries, All may miss this game as well. Regardless. Houston can't matchup with Los Angeles. In particular, Kobe, Gasol & Odom, and LA's overall size advantage. In addition, Houston are not a good defensive team, and don't have anybody to slow Kobe. Kobe & team assert their offensive & defensive will early.

Lenny Del Genio.

10* Play Over LA Lakers/Houston at 8:35 ET. Lenny spent years working on an NBA "totals system" and began using it in January '07 on the net, with great success. It's based on numerous factors, some of them listed here. Anticipated pace and style of both teams' play. Days of rest for teams or lack of it. Number of points scored by starters as compared to subs in recent outings (plus season-long averages). It also factors in point and rebounding differentials of the two teams. With all these factors (and many more), it's not possible to provide Lenny's "typical analysis" with his NBA totals selections. However, after last year's success, he anticipates another banner year. Play are rated 10* (Game of Day), 15* (Game of Week), 20* (Game of Month) and some rare 25* plays. Good luck. 10* Play Over LA Lakers/Houston. Good luck - Lenny Del Genio.
