Elite 8 Preview: No. 3 Baylor Bears vs. No. 1 Duke Blue Devils
2010-03-30

The No. 3 seed Baylor Bears vs. the No. 1 Duke Blue Devils game will takes place on Sunday, March 28, 2010 tip off at 5:05 p.m.  eastern time, televised on CBS. This final Elite 8 match up will decide the winner of the South Regional bracket in this year’s 2010 NCAA Tournament, and put the winner in an automatic spot in the NCAA 2010 Final Four.


Baylor will obviously have the edge in fan support on Sunday playing in their home state of Texas, but the Blue Devils have history on their side.  Also, they have reached the Final Four in five of the eleven times they have entered the tourney as a No. 1 seed.


Baylor was a 5 point favorite at www.sportsbook.com, in the game and easily covered the spread in a 72 - 49 rout of the Gaels. The Baylor Bears held St. Mary’s to an embarrassing 17 points in the opening half and held an astonishing 46 - 17 lead at the half.


The Blue Devils also had an easy time in the Sweet 16 against the Purdue Boilermakers. Duke busted the Boilermakers 70 - 57 as an 8.5 point favorite. That improved the Duke Blue Devils to 3 - 0 against the spread in this year’s NCAA Tourney.


Coahs K’s team did it with defense, holding the Boilermakers to just 37 percent from the field and they only made 4 - 15 from behind the arc.  Even though Duke played good defensively, the Boilermakers are not the same team it was before losing Robbie Hummel and had only three starters and five total players score in the game.  The Blue Devils dominated the glass, grabbing 11 more offensive rebounds than the Boilermakers. 


Duke doesn’t figure to be able to dominate the boards the same way against a Baylor team that is big up front and very athletic. The key to pulling off the upset for Baylor will be to keep Duke off the glass, and to hold Kyle Singler in check. When Singler isn’t scoring points, or when he’s taking a lot of shots to get his points, the Blue Devils are susceptible to being upset.


The Baylor Bears have a veteran bunch that packs an inside outside game with their guards LaceDarius Dunn, who scored 23 points against St. Mary's, and Tweety Carter, who also added 14 points and 3 - 6 for three point shots. On the inside playing either the forward or center position Ekpe Udoh, a junior who transferred from Michigan.  Udoh's a beast of a player this season and has elevated his draft stock while helping the Baylor Bears out of the first round of this year’s NCAA Tourney. With a talented backcourt and a solid interior presence, Baylor will be a tough team to beat, Duke has their hands full.


www.sportsbook.com have the Duke Blue Devils 5 point favorites and the over / under at 140 points. I’m going for the upset with the Baylor Bears, they will play the inside outside type of game on Sunday and with their size and athleticism they will be too much for the Duke Blue Devils. 





No. 5 Butler Bulldogs vs. No. 1 Syracuse Orange
2010-03-23

No. 5 Bulldogs will be playing the No. 1 seeded Orange this Thursday March 25, 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah, tipoff will be 7:05 pm eastern time.


Syracuse


The Orange looked very good in their first games of the tournament. Syracuse destroyed Vermont by 23 points and in their next game they defeated Gonzaga by 22 points, something that should not have happened to a decent Gonzaga team. The MVP for the Orange men is Wes Johnson who did all the scoring, 31 points, 14 rebounds, and made 4 out of 6 three point shots. A close second to player of the game is Rautins who added an additional 24 points against the Zags. The Orange men held the Zags to 41.7 percent shooting and only gave up three 3 point shots out of the 21 shot attempts that were thrown up behind the arc by the Zags.


Syracuse averaged 81.6 points per game as well as 19.4 assists per game, second in the country, and shot at 51.7 percent. Don’t forget about their defense because they have only allowed 39.8 shooting percentage from opponents and have only let teams score an average of 66.5 points per game.


Butler


The Butler Bulldogs did not have quite an easy path as the Orange men had, but nonetheless they are in the same position playing for a spot in the Elite 8. In Butler’s first game they entered halftime losing, but turned it around to beat UTEP. In their second game of the weekend they faced a scrappy Murray State, which they had to dig deep to come out victorious. With Matt Howard on the bench in foul trouble for most of the game the Bulldogs had to go to a four guard lineup. Even though Butler won the game they need to address a couple issues before the play Syracuse, for example Murray State was 64.3 percent from the behind the arc.


The Butler Bulldogs averaged 69.8 points per game and also shot 45 percent from the floor, but were horrible at rebounding, ranking 285th in the nation on offensive boards. On defense the Bulldogs only allow their opponents an average of 59.8 points per game and 41.5 percent shooting.


Who and what to bet on?


At www.sportsbook.com the spread is currently in favor of Syracuse at 7.5 points. The Orange men are 4 and 1 against the spread in their last 5 tournament matchups, 5 and 1 against the spread in their last 6 neutral site games and 9 and 2 against the spread in their last 11 nonconference games. Butler on the other hand are 6 and 0 against the spread in their last 6 games as an underdog between 7 and 12.5 points, but they are also 2 and 8 against the spread in their last 10 neutral site games and 1 and 4 against the spread in their last 5 games while playing as underdogs at a neutral site.


Butler should have had an easy time with Murray State, granted they didn’t let them score a lot, but the game was still too close. When they play the Orange men this Thursday they will not be so lucky.


Syracuse -7.5
