8* Sure-Shot
(NCAAB) Saint Louis vs. Louisville,
Point Spread: -9.00 | -110.00 Louisville (Home)
Result: Win
Taking LOUISVILLE here. A pair of teams heading in different directions as the season ended. UL throttling teams. STL losing to them. So, I cashed with Manhattan as a Top 10 over UL on Thursday. The thinking was easy there. 1, Pitino facing and old coach and player. And more importantly reason 2. Jaspers play UL style ball. I mean, the coach was calling the UL plays on offense while his team was defending. So I don't put much stock into that tough game. Do take notice how Smith and Hancock buried critical 3s when needed though. STL limped to the finish line and needed the extra session to get past a trendy NCST team. But the needed OT to do. I think that puts as much strain on their players as the close battle UL faced. So it comes down to talent and execution. I think UL will bring the defense that the have been bringing for the last 2 months. Would be shocked to see STL get in the 60s here. 8* Sure Shot LOUISVILLE
