Burns' Selection // Florida Gators [Against The Spread] .
Tennessee looked very good yesterday, beating perhaps the best team in the country. The Volunteers did the little things right and got to the free throw line 27 times in that game (they made 25 of them.) Having said that, I believe that the Vols are going to have a much tougher time getting to the line here today. Florida averages 16.9 fouls per game while Auburn's at 18.5. As we should all know now, College Hoops in March is very matchup dependent. Every game is different from another.
Looking at Florida, the Gators absolutely dominated the second half of their Semi-Final against Alabama (104-82.) Now, the Tide were without Grant Nelson for most of the game. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that Florida looked like the best team in the country with that win. Yes, I said it. I believe that their performance puts them above all at the moment (not my official projection to win the dance yet though.) Florida is excellent inside and out and are not going to put up 44 points again like it did in the first matchup.
Don't get me wrong, 64-44 for Tennessee in that first game is a bit of cause for concern. However, that game was played @Tennessee and it was a bad performance all around. Have to give credit to the Vols D, but Florida will not shoot the ball 24% from the field again. The Gators are my SEC TOURNEY GAME OF THE YEAR.
Score Prediction: 76-66 Florida.
