I know it's a Dome....I know sharps will always go under.....I feel like the intensity will be so high and both teams will have spurts and guys that will adjust to the shooting back drops and knock down some threes. I played first half OVER 59 and game over 129 which is up to 129.5 pretty much everywhere.
Custer and Robinson are key for both squads....Looking at first half to be in the sixties and maybe hit 70 in the second half.....if either side can get a lead of 7 or more it will cause the other to play a bit faster....Michigan has 4 solid three point shooters and is 37% from behind the arc while Loyola has the same and is 51% from the floor and better than 40% from three point range
EVERY BUCKET MATTERS.....If we can be at 8-7 or 9-6 during first TV time-out we should be OK for first half and then things will fall in second half after teams adjust to shooting back drop....I was at Final Four last year.....77-76 UNC beat Oregon & 77-73 Gonzaga beat South Carolina in Phoenix Stadium home of the Cardinals.....South Carolina was not a high scoring team but they were dialed in and focused and that's what matters!
