Kentucky +9 1/2 and un 156 1/2 1 unit

3 units 1-0 +3.0
2 units 4-1 +5.8
1 unit 1-0 +1.0
Bottom line (+9.8)
Winning days 5-0

Do things a bit differently today as heavy schd makes it difficult to start a new thread for every play. Start off against the steam with Wildcats and under. Last year these same two met, and Wildcats squeaked out a 61-56 win. Was a real defensive battle. Same players back for Tarheels, many of same for Wildcats. Top two programs, sorry Duke, battle again, but Kentucky has taken the last 4, and covered 3 tied 1. Hard to imagine 40 more points of offense, but if the 3's drop, it could happen. Kentucky lost exactly no games by double digits last year. Sometimes the wise guys predict and bet a much different outcome, I will stick with what happened recently. Keep them small. 1 unit each.

This total got steamed from 158 1/2 to 154 with a few minutes. Scratch the total as 156 1/2 was the bottom number. It stays as a play, but if you lose 2 or more points forget it. It is wrong to say 154 is just as good as 156 1/2, it is not. Was a 1 unit so just drop it, if you did not get it early.

Seton Hall +3 1/2 2 units

Seton Hall closed last season very strong. Returns frontline loses point guard. Good depth, very strong defensive senoir laden lineup. Very tough at home. Big revenge from last year at Texas. Texas shooting very well, mostly freshman? Have had a few cream puffs, now go into very hostile arena and will get a few less open looks. Boards and frontline advantage to home squad. Experience, and huge homecourt also advantages. 3 1/2 is at a few places, 3 is also good. No money line as I phase those in soon.
