Final 4 Matchups!!

For season, George Mason scores 25.8% of its points on 3's, but last weekend, in winning third, fourth straight tilts, they scored 34.2% of their points behind arc, making 50% of 3's both games, highly unusual. Problem for them here is that in a dome, unlike arenas in Dayton, DC, is that shooting from the arc is a lot more difficult (Villanova was 8-39 from arc in Metrodome a week ago) and Florida is superior inside with Noah, Horford. Gators played in dome last week; they were 9-30 from arc. Donovan has won a national semifinal (in this arena). I think Mason is legit, but they made lot of tough shots vs UConn, basically playing at home, and I don't think those shots fall here. I have pick in box below.

UCLA plays slow, ugly games, as we learned the hard way last week; faster the game, better for LSU team that is more athletic than you think. Bruins won eleven in row since dropping back-to-back games to Washington, USC in mid-February; both clubs are quicker outfits, like LSU. Only LSU loss recently was in SEC tournament to Florida. Tigers are last in entire nation in percent of points scored behind arc, so dome won't hurt them. UCLA is leaving California for first time since Feb 11. Unless Bruin bigs get Big Baby in foul trouble, it looks like an all-SEC final.
