Colorado vs. Florida State
McKinley Wright IV (Colorado) LESS 16.5 Points - Raiquan Gray (Florida St.) MORE 12.5 Points
This expects to be a challenge on Monday. That's right. Monday. There is one big trend with Wright that is key here. When the guard starts distributing the ball, it just seems like his point production comes down. The last time the Colorado guard had 7+ assists and 17+ points was early in the season against teams like Grand Canyon and Omaha. On Saturday versus Georgetown, he had 13 assists while attempting just eight shots. He ended up with 13 points because he added three points from the charity stripe. Florida State often plays in the 70's pace-wise, but Colorado's scoring is spread enough to look elsewhere on Monday for the MORE. We aim for the LESS on Wright.
Raiquan Gray plays his position well defensively but more importantly has a versatile game in development. There were some growing pains in the ACC Tournament but if he sees around 30 minutes of playing time on Monday, he will likely hit somewhere around 15 points. The key is getting off his shots. He attempted 13 shots in Round 1 on Saturday and has gotten to the foul line 4+ times in each of the past three contests. Gray can get to the hoop and out in transition which are opportunities that Colorado will allow. Gray is surprisingly Florida State's second-leading scorer but tops point-per-minute totals for the Seminoles. This should be an entertaining game and yes, take the MORE.
A win here pays 3.5 times your wager.

USC vs. Kansas
Evan Mobley (USC) MORE 17.5 Points - Ochai Agbaji (Kansas) MORE 12.5 Points
The freshman power forward is hot right now with three straight 17+ point games and he expects to shoot the ball 10+ times again versus Kansas as USC tries to get the ball inside often. Mobley is faster than most big men and can get up and down the court with much speed. Kansas really does not have a forward that can keep up with Mobley's stamina. That could be a key as this game goes on. How much gas did the Jayhawks use on Saturday when they allowed 84 points? It's an excellent question. The pace expects to be almost as high on Monday. Mobley will have his looks and is not afraid to stretch the defense by shooting an occasional three. Expect Mobley to hit the MORE but barely.
The second half of this prop features Ochai Agbaji. Now, while understandably his prop is low to entice. The thought process is reasonable here. He had struggled before the last stretch of the season which included the Big-12 Conference Tournament. However, Agbaji became more assertive again around that time and started looking for his shot more. More importantly, he started making baskets. He drained 7+ baskets in three consecutive games. Do the math. That is the MORE right there alone! The key is not to overthink this one too much. Take the MORE once again.
A win here also pays three times the wager.
