Looks good for who? I was in vegas this weekend- won with arizona -1.5 and got blasted by refs with maryland +5, not that bad though because I also took Duke +9 halftime bet...

Anyhow being somewhat biased living in tucson I like Arizona+3.5 as I think Jefferson will be able to shut down one of Dukes stars either williams or battier. Jefferson is 6' 7" with long arms and vert quick with great leaping ability, he has shut down every temas best scorer during the tournament. Williams for Illinois scored 30 the game before Arizona and went 1-10 in first half and was out of the game with jefferson on him. Arizona has much better athletes across the board and I think the NCAA will tell the officials to call a better game. In fact the officials might
go too far the other way for Arizona to avoid being seen as pro Duke, especialy since Arizona is a sentimental favorite because of the coach Lute Olsons wife dying.

All in all I like Arizona, but of course I live in Tucson, so take that for what it's worth...
