NCAAB
Final Four - Dunkel Index


SATURDAY, MARCH 31

UCLA vs. Florida
Last year when these two teams met in the championship, Florida opened as a two-point favorite and went on to win by 16 (73-57). This year, despite returning all five starters from that championship team, the Gators opened as only a three-point favorite in the rematch. Some of that may be due to the fact that Florida is not racking up style points in this tournament and has won the last three games (over Purdue, Butler and Oregon) by single digits. Some of it is also because UCLA looked extremely impressive in manhandling higher-rated Kansas (68-55) in the West regional final. But while the Bruins were able to exploit the Jayhawks' youth (three sophomores, two freshmen among top five scorers), they should have a more difficult time against the more-experienced Gators. And Florida has shown an ability to turn it on in the tougher games as the Gators have covered in the last three contests (dating back to the SEC tourney) when they came in a single-digit favorite. Florida looks like a good pick to cover the line (-3) in this one according to Dunkel, which has the Gators favored by 4 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Florida (-3). Here are all of today's games.

NCAAB Final Four

These are just fifth and sixth times in the last 20 years a #1 seed faces a #2 seed in a Final Four game.

Favorites are 5-1 vs spread in last two Final Fours. Any team in this round is playing very well, or else they wouldn't have won four games to get here, so what do you go by in handicapping these games? These contests are tougher to handicap than a regular season game; so much depends on how the games are called. TV timeouts are pretty long, so depth is less important.

We talk about pace of games during season; Florida (173rd) is team that plays fastest-paced games of the four left this week, so you are not going to see racehorse basketball; that died last week, when Kansas and Memphis got beat.

Ohio State-Georgetown matches two solid big men, rare for the college game today. Georgetown has been a better team in this tourney, as Buckeyes dodged Grim Reaper twice vs Xavier and Tennessee, while Hoyas have beaten Boston College, Vandy, North Carolina, using a 15-0 run that bridged regulation and OT to subdue the favored Tar Heels. Hoyas are 14-3 outside of Big East games, beating Michigan 67-51, only game vs Big 11 team. Buckeyes are 16-2 in non-league games, routing Cincinnati in its only game vs Big East opposition.



Florida-UCLA is rematch of last year's national title game that Gators won 73-57 (-1). This scenario is similar to UNLV-Duke in '91, when Rebels routed Duke in '90 finals, then got upset next year in national semis by Blue Devils. UCLA is playing defense in this tournament, allowing 42,49,55,55 points in its four wins. You hold Kansas to 55, even if they did miss 19 layups, you're playing great D. Florida is defending champ, with same crew in place that won it last year. They haven't lost in March, winning tourney games by 43,7,8,8 points.

Of these four teams in these matchups, I like Georgetown best of the four on Saturday, but at this point, its a crapshoot, and I don't like to shoot craps.

Final Four - Tips and trends


Saturday, March 31

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#1 Ohio State vs. #2 Georgetown (6:05 PM ET)
There has not been a center matchup like this in the Final Four since 1985 when Georgetown's Patrick Ewing met Houston's Akeem Olajuwon. The Hoyas are led in the middle by 7-foot-2 center Roy Hibbert while the Buckeyes feature 7-foot freshman phenom Greg Oden, who is considered the top NBA draft prospect in the country. Insiders believe Oden could struggle inside against Hibbert, who prides himself on defense and has much more experience against other players his size. SLIGHT EDGE: GEORGETOWN
Another key individual matchup will be Georgetown's Jeff Green against Ohio State's Ron Lewis, each team's best player so far in the tournament. The 6-foot-4 Lewis has made 12-of-26 shots from 3-point range (46 percent) in the first four games while averaging nearly 22 points. Meanwhile, Green has gone to the free-throw line just 11 times in the entire tourney and taken just six 3-point shots, instead concentrating more on defense. Insiders believe the 6-9 Green will need to become more aggressive in the Final Four and revert back to his MVP form from during the Big East Tournament, when he made 20-of-24 free throws in the last two games en route to the title. SLIGHT EDGE: GEORGETOWN
The Hoyas are 20-6-2 ATS in their last 28 games overall.
The Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last five games versus the Big East.
The UNDER is 5-0 in the Hoyas' last five games versus the Big 10.

Florida has won six straight games at the Georgia Dome and is 8-1 in its last three appearances in the building. EDGE: FLORIDA

Orlando on road for first time since Week 1; they've gone WLWL so far this season, winning only road game 52-27 in Tampa, with three of their four games staying under, as have last the three NO games. Underdog is 3-0 against spread in Voodoo games, as NO covered both times as dog- their losses are by 2,8 points.

Austin lost last three games, by 9,15,7 pts, scoring just 48 ppg; they lost their two road games this season, 60-51/45-30. They've thrown seven INTs in last two games, and switched QBs in game last week, from McPherson to Campbell. Dallas won, covered all four games, winning by 53,19,12,21 pts, with last three going over the total. Dallas is +37 in incomplete passes, +7 in turnovers.

Tampa Bay is off to dreadful 0-4 start, losing by 25,19,14,7 points, with last three games going over total- three of their four losses came at home. San Jose lost last two games, with bye in between so both sides starving for a win, but this is home opener for San Jose, whose only win was 66-58 in LA (-6.5). Saber Cats are -4 in turnovers, with only one takeaway in three games.

Cleveland at Chicago
The Bulls trail Cleveland by just a half-game in the Eastern Conference standings and face an excellent opportunity to move ahead of the Cavs today in a home matinee. And Chicago does come in with a four-game winning streak, including an 83-81 win over Detroit on Thursday. But while the Bulls are 8-2 straight up over their last 10, they are just 3-7 against the spread. Scott Skiles' team is an even uglier 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Cleveland's won-loss record on the road is not impressive (16-19), but the Cavs are above .500 (18-16-1) ATS and were able to take advantage the last time they entered a game a road underdog, beating Milwaukee (94-92) on March 10. Cleveland looks like a good underdog pick (+3 1/2) in this one according to Dunkel, which has the Cavaliers favored straight up by 2 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Cleveland (+3 1/2).
