NCAAB: Michigan State Spartans at North Carolina Tar Heels - Michigan State +8 -110
Game Date: 4/6/2009
Note: I have been waiting patiently and now is the time to jump on this number, that has risen from an opening of 7.5. There are still some of those out there but I got mine and you should be able to get yours by end of day. If you cannot, the current number will be OK. It is hard to figure what is in the minds of bettors for this contest tonight but I do know what is in the minds of those that are playing North Carolina. 98-63. That was the final score of the first meeting between these two back in early December and that score is very hard to forget. It was an NC Thrashing as they shot 48% from the court and 83% from the Free Throw Stripe, and did those things very often, as the Tarheels usually do. The only thing Michigan State did relatively right was rebound the ball with boards being virtually even throughout the contest. But we can't look at that game in relation to this this one because we have totally different dynamics and we have a Spartan Squad that was "Young" back in early December, and one now that is "Not." These Kids have grown a great deal and that is what Kilbasa Sausages will do for you as part of your regular diet. They have been putting plenty on condiments on their Buns, and they have been swallowing wins along the way. They certainly are relishing the fact that they have come this far as so are the People of this great state.



Michigan State opened this season with a very high pace, and as kids will do, they made some shooting snafu's along the way. At one time this year, Michigan State was in the Top 15% of all teams tempo-wise in the country. They now are at the 30% Level. So what is going on? They are being more selective, they are driving the hoop more. The result is extraordinary offensive efficiency, greater rebound statistics, more free throw opps, more and better wins. North Carolina is North Carolina. Yada, Yada, Yada. They are good. Are they 8 points better than the Current Spartan Squad? I don't think so. The Michiganians will be in the crowd. They will be consuming a lot of Kilbasas. And this game is going to be wire to wire. I am grabbing my sausage, and I am grabbing these points.
