2012 Ohio State vs. Kansas Final Four Prop Bets & Predictions
Last Updated: March 30th, 2012 byWe are back with another set of great college basketball prop bets courtesy of Bovada Sportsbook, and today, we are taking a look at the Final Four prop bets on the board for the clash between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Kansas Jayhawks in the Big Easy!
William Buford Total Points Over 13.5
Has Buford had the best NCAA Tournament in the world? Of course not. That being said, he is probably going to have a heck of a lot easier time getting open on the perimeter, knowing that Kansas is probably going to do a lot of double teaming of the big boys that get in the point. Buford has the potential to be a deadly shooter, especially from long range, and we like the prospects of both he and Aaron Craft coming up with some big games when push comes to shove against a team that is going to try to focus in on the defense from the inside to the outside and not the other way around.
Jeff Withey Total Blocks Over 3.5
In the Kentucky/Louisville clash, we went with the ‘under’ in blocked shots for Anthony Davis, but in this case, we think that Withey is the right play to get at least four rejections. He is going to be challenged quite a bit on the inside, especially if he is the one that is matched up more often with Jared Sullinger than Thomas Robinson is. Withey has really come on strong as one of the best defensive players, not just in the Big XII, but in the country as a whole, and he has most certainly proven it with his 20 blocks thus far in four games here in the tourney. The last team that tried to come to the inside against Withey on a regular basis with massively undersized big men was the NC State Wolfpack, and the big man swatted away 10 shots. We don’t need 10 this time around, but Sullinger and Deshaun Thomas are definitely giving up a ton in the height department to what Withey brings to the table.
Aaron Craft (-0.5 assists) vs. Tyshawn Taylor
Both Craft and Taylor are veteran players that have a lot of experience here in the NCAA Tournament over the years. That being said, Taylor still looks like a man that is pressing, and it is becoming clear to us that he would rather shoot the ball than become a major distributor. Granted, he averaged the exact same 4.7 assists per game that Craft did this year, but in the dance thus far, Taylor has just a total of 15 assists, while Craft has 23. In the end, the Buckeyes have the better point guard on both sides of the court, and not only will Craft prove to be the man that keeps the ball out of Taylor’s hands, but he will also be the one that gets the job done on the offensive side of the court as well.
