Today’s video throwdown showdown play with Mitch from http://www.cbbplace.com is the Louisville vs Sienna second round matchup. This game will be won or lost based on Sienna’s ability to handle the pressure of the Cardinals.
Most teams do a fairly good job of not turning the ball over for most of the game, but get worn down late and buckle with several key turnovers. Ask Morehead State how relentless the pressure can be in the second half. Louisville has four guards that all play about equal time, and each can cause havoc on defense.
Lets look at the trends and records of these two teams:
Team records:
- Siena: 27-7 SU, 16-16 ATS
- Louisville: 29-5 SU, 21-13 ATS
Trends:
- Saints are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games.
- Saints are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.
- Cardinals are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games as a favorite.
- Cardinals are 38-18-1 ATS in their last 57 games overall.
- Cardinals are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 non-conference games.
Looks like the trends, and ATS records, point to the Sienna Saints, but I’m going to take Sienna +11.5.
I love the guards from Sienna, and they do have experience in last year’s NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals will most likely pull away late, and win by a few, but Sienna has huge heart and will stick around late.
Earl Clark and Terrance Williams will be too much, but to make money in this matchup you have to take the points. Don’t be fooled by the television people being all over Louisville’s jock. Score LOU 78—SIEN 72
