Houston ML
We will back the Cougars as a slight underdog to cut down the nets on Monday night. While the metrics seem to favor Florida a bit, the experience and toughness of this Houston team were on full display in their comeback against Duke and should be again in this matchup. The Gators lean on one of the best offenses we have seen in recent memory, but now get to face the best defense in the country, per KenPom. We think there is a head coaching advantage for Houston’s Kelvin Sampson here to have a game plan that will stop Florida enough to squeak out a win here.

Walter Clayton 20+ Points
For some inverse correlation, we will back Florida’s leading man to have a big night. Walter Clayton Jr. has been an absolute monster in the past month, averaging 23.1 points per game and racking up six KenPom Game MVPs over the past nine games. As the Gators have gotten deeper into the tournament, they have leaned on him even further. The senior guard has 30 or more points in each of their previous two contests, and will be fed the ball plenty on Monday night. Add him to your bet slip to help bump up that SGP price.
J’Wan Roberts 6+ Rebounds
J’Wan Roberts has been a beast in the paint for Houston throughout the season. He has eclipsed this number in 23 of 36 games this year and three of their previous four games, including double-digit rebounds twice in that span. Between him and Joseph Tugler, we believe that Florida big man Rueben Chinyelu could struggle to keep all of them off the glass. Back Roberts to have a big night on the boards to boost this price a bit more.
