CBB - 9:20 ET - NCAA Championship Game
Florida VS UCLA
FLORIDA / UCLA UNDER 128
Both of these clubs reached this point on the heels of their suffocating defenses, and we expect points to be at a premium again in the National Championship Game. UCLA has been smothering people all season long as the UNDER is now 22-12 in all Bruin games that have had a posted total. The Bruins are allowing just 58.3 points per game on 41.4% shooting from the floor for the year, and they have been even better than that during this tournament so far surrendering only 52.8 points per contest on a microscopic 36.8% shooting! Not to be outdone the Florida defense has also come up HUGE in the tournament holding their five opponents so far to 56.6 points per game on an unbelievable 34.4% shooting.

Vegas Experts Tip Of The Day
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the surface the Florida-Houston opening day match with Dontrelle Willis and Roy Oswalt on the mound shapes up as a pitchers' duel. Will it be enough of a pitchers' duel to stay under a 7.5 total?
Willis turned in a 2.56 road ERA last year and his career ERA vs. the Astros is 3.00. Oswalt's home ERA in 2005 was 2.87; his career ERA vs. Florida is 2.5.2. The clubs have gone under in 8-of-13 meetings including 5-of-7 in Houston. HOUSTON is 50-35 UNDER as a favorite of -110 or higher over the last 2 seasons. Oswalt is 24-13 UNDER in all games over the last 2 seasons.
Play on: Under

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTION
UCLA 63 FLORIDA 62
It's only fitting that the teams with 2 lengthy winning streaks, Florida (10) and UCLA (12), should be playing for the National Championship. They have each arrived at this point playing outstanding defense with solid rebounding and protecting the basketball, the three elements we know to be most important in winning games. Missing from these teams is veteran leadership at the guard position, a quality we normally see among at least one of the final participants.
From a technical perspective, Florida would be your play in this one. The favorite is now 10-5 ATS since 1991 in final games, including 8-0 ATS up to (-5). In addition, UCLA comes off consecutive underdog wins (over LSU and Memphis). Historically speaking, less than .850 seeds of 5 or better up to (-5) are 8-2 ATS in NCAA tourney play vs. a foe off 3 or more wins and consecutive upsets. I place little credence in these situations however, believing that UCLA should have been favored in their most recent game vs. LSU and should be the favorite in tonight's game.
The Gator's margins of victory in this tourney have been truly impressive with 4 of 5 victories by 13 or more points. The cohesion of their fab 4 sophomore class has been well documented. The result is that they share the basketball extremely well, an attribute that cannot be underrated. It has resulted in a well balanced inside * outside attack that has shown superior athleticism on the inside with Noah and Horford yet enough perimeter pop to knock down 12 three pointers Saturday night against George Mason. The underrated defense has allowed just 55 PPG since their SEC Championship victory against South Carolina.
As well as the Florida defense is playing, it will not be the superior defense on the floor tonight. Just once in their last 12 games (against Gonzaga) has UCLA allowed more than 60 points. Nowhere was it better exemplified than in holding high-scoring Memphis to just 45 points in the Elite 8. That defensive tenacity was again evident in their 59-45 victory vs. LSU Saturday night. Of surprising and equal importance was the unveiling of the quality depth that UCLA divulged in that victory.
Florida will win this if they are able to knock down 3's as they did Saturday night. That's not going to happen against Howlind's defensive concepts and the Bruin's defensive tenacity. Slight preference for UCLA to emerge with narrow victory. A stronger opinion on the "under 128 "in the game, with the best play of all being on UCLA in the second half IF THEY TRAIL IN THE GAME as Bruins have been a phenomenal second half team.
