- Analysis
- West Regional Semifinals from Los Angeles, CA. has the 23-11 Alabama Crimson Tide taking on the North Carolina Tar Heels. Alabama came into this NCAA tournament having lost three of four games and failing to cover all four. But they got a big win in the first round over Charleston, 109-96, as a 8.5-point favorite. They shot 56.5% from the field and 64.9% from the 3-point arc. Then they beat Grand Canyon in the 2nd round, 72-61, as a 5.5-point favorite. Though this time they cooled way down to 36.9% from the field and 25.8% from the 3-point arc. The Tide are now 4-2 S/U and 3-2-1 ATS in their six tourney games. North Carolina is 29-7 on the season after winning their two NCAA games. They opened with a win over Wagner, 90-62, as a 25.5-point favorite. Then they beat Michigan State in round two, 85-69, as a 4-point favorite. Though they lost to NC State in the ACC conference tourney, they have still won 10 of their last 11 games and gone 7-4 ATS during that span. The Tar Heels average 81.8 ppg while allowing 70 ppg this season. They are also 6-2 S/U and 5-3 ATS in their eight tourney games this year. I'm taking the Tar Heels in this quarterfinal matchup on Thursday. Play North Carolina.
