Good luck old man Ted. Funny thing... As soon as I saw your name I immediately came into your thread. I have a rule that when I meet someone older than myself, I always ask them to give me their best advice based on life experiences. BOL on Az. Not much action happens in these college threads like the NBA hah.
Back with some thoughts on tonight's marquee match-up between #15 Memphis and #18 Gonzaga. The Tigers come into the game on a 13 game winning streak. However, when you look closely at their style of play, you'll notice they shoot only 44.2% FG, 66.1% FT and 32.9% beyond the arc. They do, however, hold their opponents to 37.7% FG and 31.4% beyond the arc. Comparatively, the Zags are on a 9 game winning streak and shoot 47.8% FG, 70.7% FT and 37.4% beyond the arc while holding their opponents to 36.4% FG and 32.4% beyond the arc. The Tigers are still a relatively young team while the Zags are battle tested at this level and seem to have a knack for performing well together in spots like these. This is a home game for the Zags but not on their normal home court but rather is being played at the 11,000 sold out Spokane Arena. Sense here is that the better shooting will eventually be the difference particularly from the free throw line and beyond the arc. Even though these teams have solid defenses, believe this will be somewhat of an open court affair at times so both the side and total are playable IMHO. Hence,
5* Memphis/Gonzaga Over 141 (-110) 5Dimes
4* Gonzaga -4.5 (-110) 5Dimes
Good Luck Everyone!
