Recap:
Winner. Finally. It was iced in the final five minutes. A lovely second half. Scary first half since both teams were draining threes but the pace was great. A superb second half. It had to be a great second half with how mediocre the first half went. It was pacing in the first half but the live line was still 134.5 and that was because of the three point shooting. Once the nerves hit and the defense picked up in a close game late it was exactly what I had expected. We finally started to get sloppy possessions and bricks and with five to go we had a little under thirty to work with. Some final bricks and it hit. We finally hit a college under. This is why we fight. This is why we fight for Underia and never give up. I deserved this. I needed this. This can’t be it though. I don’t want to celebrate finally hitting college too much because I know I need more. This is only a small win and it has to turn into more. I need to build off of this and clean up the rest of March. I am ready for more.
Lock: UNC/Duke U155.5 1u to win 0.9u
Groundbreaking Analysis:
I am shooting out of it and I am shooting straight. I am taking the under of a team that has lost their best player and also the best player in college basketball and another team that is fighting to stay alive. The biggest rivalry in college basketball is going to go under. Duke really doesn’t have a whole lot to play for in this tournament outside of being the conference champs. I know that that is important but they have now lost their best player and they don’t need this win for seeding since they are already projected a one seed. They like to play slow defensive basketball and I think without Flag that not only doesn’t change but they put an even greater emphasis on good possessions and containing UNC. They did a great job against UNC last game and they were in a similar spot in the first half with Flagg being in foul trouble. The last matchup was also at UNC so I don’t see UNC shooting as well now in a neutral arena. Looking at UNC they are right on the bubble and if they win this game they are in. They have to play defense. This is their third game of the tourney and how have they gotten here is not by making games a shootout but by keeping teams under sixty. They have to stick to that game plan here tonight. In yesterday’s game they also shot poorly and that shouldn’t change against Duke. Both teams also have to be a little tired with it being the second game of the tourney for Duke and third game for UNC. This line is too high for this spot. We are going to get an under. We took a smaller conference game yesterday and now we take the under in the biggest matchup in college sports. Let’s get hot in college basketball one time. Under. Under. Under. For Underia 🏴
