The Best Take the Court...and the Bulls

UCLA and LSU were 10-21 Over/Under and 12-21 Over/Under during the regular season. Currently the total is around 122. With both teams sporting huge under records coupled with the record setting low-scoring regional final between UCLA and Memphis, there may be some value with the over. While UCLA is an underish team, they have scored 70 or more points in 6 of their last 8 games and 7 of their last 9. Take the over here. UCLA has covered 9 of its last 11 games. LSU is a hellavu team but I went 3-0 last week fading the favorites (all 4 dogs covered) so I'm gonna try and keep the streak going. There were some good historical numbers on favorites not covering small spreads- Taking UCLA and the 2.5. George Mason and 6 is hard to resist. They have proven that they can play with anyone, and though Florida should win this one George Mason is the play. The Bulls are 8-3 Over/Under this calendar year and 12-6 Over/Under this season on no rest. A bizzare game against Charlotte tonight where Chicago was in control the entire way, played very poorly throughout, then made some key plays to withstand a Charlotte run. Yeah, doesn't make a lot of sense. The Celtics happen to be 22-14 Over/Under on the season when on the road, though 11-11 Over/Under for the calendar year. At 194, I'm going over. This goes against the trend that favors the under after big points scored in the paint in the previous game but the Bulls only consistentcy is inconsistency. - nutlow
