Gamblers are leaning to Michigan State versus the Final Four betting line, perhaps in part because of their home court advantage. The Huskies may not be quite as loaded as North Carolina or as big a favorite in Final Four betting odds, but they have a lot of talent. Hasheem Thabeet is a major force in the middle while A.J. Price is an excellent point guard who can impact the Final Four betting line. Stanley Robinson and Kemba Walker have stepped up during the tournament and Jeff Adrien averages a double-double and he could be very important in terms of the Final Four betting line.
The Big 10’s Player of the Year was Kalin Lucas and he runs the Michigan State offense and will be a major force in regards to the Final Four betting line. He is supported by Goran Suton who has become a force in the middle. Travis Walton is a great defender who can also score and impact the Final Four betting line.
The Huskies are a small favorite on the Final Four betting line against the Spartans and the total of 135 is considered low. It may not be low enough on the Final Four betting line considering these two team’s defenses but compared to the North Carolina-Villanova total of 160 it looks that way.
