April 4th - Pure Profets Play of the Day

We have been handicapping these Final Four match-ups all week for you and have the winner ready.

Michigan State Spartans vs. Connecticut Huskies

Somehow Michigan State is still being overlooked even after a great tournament run and another phenomenal coaching job of Tom Izzo. The Spartans defense has been strong all season and even stronger in the tourney holding 3 of 4 teams under 62 points, including holding the high powered Louisville offense to only 52! Coach Izzo has been even better against the Big East style of play winning his last 6 tournament games vs. the powerful conference. This team has been super motivated to get to the Final Four for the chance to play basically a home game at Ford Field in Detroit. With the crowd expected to be fired up for ‘their’ team we don’t see that motivation slowing down now.

Connecticut is a great team, no doubt. Future NBA players Hasheem Thabeet and A.J Price have played hard and looked great. The tournament has taken its toll on this team with Jerome Dyson out with a hurt knee, Thabeet playing with a bad finger, and Jeff Adrien nursing a knee injury as well. The UConn might not be able to keep up their usual style of play with these injuries as well as a staunch defense by Mich. St.

Here are a few Pure Profets Trends for you to live by:

Spartans are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games.
Spartans are 23-8-1 ATS in their last 32 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
Huskies are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games.

This should be a great game with defense leading the way. With those factors in place you have to take the points and the Michigan State Spartans.
