On the season Michigan is 18-16-1 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 21-14 and Syracuse is 20-15 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 15-18.

Syracuse is led by the frontcourt duo of James Southerland and C.J. Fair and while neither played great in the Marquette game the Orange played awesome defense holding the Golden Eagles to a paltry FG% of 22.6%. The Orange had to play good D since they only shot 38% from the field.

It is key that the guards of Michael Carter-Williams and Brandon Triche shoot the rock well to open up the lane for the big guys,

Cuse only was 5/17 from 3-point land in the win over Marquette and they have to shoot the deep ball better against Michigan. [ad-6571516]

Tim Hardaway Jr. and Trey Burke lead the great Michigan backcourt and while these guys struggled with their shot in the win over Florida fellow G Nik Stauskas was simple on fire in the game scoring 22 points and hitting all 6 of his 3-pointers. The Orange cannot let the Wolverines have open looks fron deep or they may lose badly just like Florida did.

Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III are the 2 main guys in the frontcourt for the Wolverines and if the Orange pack the perimeter to stop the solid backcourt these 2 may have big games like they did in the Elite 8 match up with Kansas.

The Orange have to be careful with the rock facing an athletic Michigan team that forced Florida into 15 turnovers.

In some betting trends for this Final 4 game Michigan is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record and they have an Over record of 5-2 in their last 7 non-conference games.

Syracuse is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 non-conference games, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Under record of 17-7 in their last 24 games following a ATS win.

Jason’s Pick: Michigan the real deal and with their balanced team they will win this game and cover to advance to the National Championship.
