As a Sooners fan I hate to bet against my team. But Cuse has been a very hot team. And I hate going against these type of teams this late in the tourney. Especially when they have a veteran head coach going up against a relative newcomer in Capel. I like that OU has had a week to prepare for the Syracuse Zone. But although I think OU can stop them down under, I'm not very confident that they can stop Flynn or the rest of their guards from lighting it up. I think it's also an advantage for Cuse to have 3 bigs inside. Which means they have 15 fouls to give against Blake Griffin. I think ultimatley it comes down to the guard play for both teams. And I think at this point in the season Cuse is just playing at a higher level. I could be wrong. College basketball can be such an unpredictable game when you get this even of a matchup. But confidence is a big deal in this sport. And I feel that by the way they are playing compared to OU in the last few weeks of the season, that Cuse is the more confident team. Something tells me this is going to be a very physical game that lacks a lot of rhythm to it. And it could come down to FT shooting. So the under could be a decent play. Blake Griffin is the best player on the court, and will get his points and stops. But in the end i think it's the Syracuse guards that win it for them.
