He&#8217;s the first NCAA Division I player to do that in the Elite Eight or later since Larry Bird in 1979.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clayton will be hounded. He will be doubled. But as a top-tier scorer at every level, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;ll matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NCAA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Martin over 12.5 points (-118):<\/strong> Florida isn&#8217;t merely the Walter Clayton Show. Martin is a fifth-year guard who came to Florida for this very moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Florida Atlantic transfer \u2014 who reached the Final Four with the Cinderella-sized Owls in 2023 \u2014 is averaging 14.6 PPG this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also has 10+ points in 11 straight games, cashing this prop eight times in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking multiple points props for guys facing the country&#8217;s No. 1 scoring defence is dicey, but neither Clayton nor Martin would have to overachieve to cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Roberts over 6.5 rebounds <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-138):<\/strong> I touted Roberts&#8217; rebounding prop in the Final Four matchup against Duke and he crushed it, finishing with 12 boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s particularly notable because Duke is the tallest team in D-I, per KenPom. The 6-foot-8 Roberts is as tall as anyone on Houston, but he&#8217;s almost always at a size disadvantage around the rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Height isn&#8217;t everything, clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roberts leads the Cougars in rebounds (6.5\/game) and has six-plus boards in 23 of 36 games (63.9%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, there will be a few Gators who stand taller than Roberts in Monday&#8217;s matchup. But I like his chances of putting up a fight and finding success on the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Florida vs. Houston predictions made at 1:40 p.m. on 04\/07\/25<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Florida Gators face the Houston Cougars in the March Madness national championship on Monday, and I&#8217;m taking a big swing with a +450 SGP.
