The money seems to be rolling in on Michigan making the line move from 4 to 5.5, but i think that is too many points in a championship game. My play is:
Rutgers +5.5
Rutgers has been on fire, and despite Michigan's athleticism, I think the Scarlett Knights can win this SU! Quincy Douby will be something special in Rutgers history when it is all said and done. He has been on fire (and we're not talking one-two lucky games), he has strung together several good games. Add in Ricky Shields who can shoot the lights out, and Lamizana's versatility and you've got a potent offensive attack. Axani is a workhorse on the boards for them. Iowa State had a huge advantage on the inside against Rutgers, but Michigan does not. In fact, the inside game appears to be quite even between these two teams. ISU had Homan and Vroman to attack on the inside and post up. Michigan has Courtney Sims, not a great postup player, but a really athletic guy. So to determine the winner I looked at the backcourt and found Mr. Douby and his red hot shooting. May not be a popular play, but I like Rutgers to win this one by 6-7 points SU.
