Jon Joseph Moderator No. 2 Share Posted 7 hours ago Florida opened -1.5, now down to -1. O/U 141.5. In consideration of the Houston D, I think the Under could be a solid bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted 6 hours ago If defense does win championships. my pick of Florida is in trouble, and usually a team is more successful slowing a game down, rather than the other team speeding it up. So, what possible chance does Florida have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDuck No. 4 Share Posted 3 hours ago I don't have a pick, or particular bias between the two, but I probably would be happy to see "the old guy" Kelvin Sampson get the win. 69- Sampson 68- Jim Calhoun, 2011 68- Coach K, 2015 66- Roy Williams, 2017 66- Phog Allen, 1952 64- John Wooden, 1975 Allen was oldest to win his first title, next "first" was Lute Olson (62) in 1997. Though Sampson would "beat" them both. Geno Auriemma is 71. I believe Rick Barnes (70) and Dana Altman (66) are oldest active Power 4 coaches to not have won a championship.
