UMass -11
UMass is solid this year and is playing a banged-up Miami team. From Miami game notes:
Miami went into the Nebraska game without its leading scorer Jack McClinton and its leading rebounder Anthony King. McClinton, who ranks third in the ACC in scoring (18.7 ppg), suffered a sprained knee two days before the game. He currently leads the ACC in three-point field goal percentage (.494) and three-point field goals per game (3.08). King, the team's leading rebounder (9.3 rpg), has been out since spraining his right wrist against Georgia Tech on December 3.
Miami lost that game 82-67. King def out, not sure on McClinton. Tried to listen to UMass pregame but my computer here blows.
Also, here’s a numbers play I’ve done twice this year, going 3-1. You play the favorite and the Over, looking to hit both, at worst you should split based on what you think favorite will score.
UConn –16.5 and Over 136
I think UConn gets at least 80 in this game. If they hit 77, they can’t lose both (S Fla scores 60 or less, UConn covers / S Fla scores more than that, game goes Over).
