Memphis may come out -.5, but KU will end up the fave

People are gonna love KU for waxin UNC.

Memphis won't be favored over Kansas if this ass-whooping continues. Beating UNC, who many (foolishly) thought was invincible, will be enough for KU to open as small chalk.

Kansas -1.5.

Wow can't believe it was 40-12. i just turned the game on and it is 40-22 but it said UNC is on a 10-0 run lol. where are all the hansbrough blowers now? i said it was i'll say it again he is the next shawn bradley.

Memphis is more talented, and at this stage thats all you can go on. I doubt anyone could come up with stats that say Kansas is better, though I guess it is possible someone could.

This is the national championship game of two 1 seeds that BEAT two one seeds. East coast/NC bias will make Kansas a fave, even though Memphis is much faster/quicker with the same play style.

Memphis has 3 players which would start in the NBA Rose, Douglas-Roberts (these two will be in the NBA next year) and possibly Dorsey though is offense his unbelievably bad, they are stacked as far as talent goes and will have to be slightly favored against Kansas barring a miracle comeback by UNC.

Why not Pick--no such thing as -1/2 for a full game hoops line?

I have Kansas -2 over Memphis--assuming the Jayhawks can hold off NC.

KU came out -1 at pinny, looks like memphis is getting hammered already as the juice is -101 now.

Theres a reason me and RJT are usually on the right side, just in different ways from different capping. Good call RJT

I need Kansas to win to seal the deal on my Betjam bracket.

that was one lucky outing, in no way does KU repeat that performance, not to mention the size of memphis is overwhelming...caught unc on a bad night, and they almost caught em...Memphis will regin victorious, probably by 6 or so

Kansas is bigger. Dorsey (6'9") is Memphis' only legit big. KU can throw out Arthur, Kaun and Aldrich.
