Belmont +3.5 v. Maryland | | 77-79 |
Win | 100 | 16 h 56 m | Show |
For the same reasons I loved Belmont on Tuesday, I love them here. Belmont is a fantastic offensive team, near the top of almost every offensive category and should be favored in this game. Maryland has been playing mediocre basketball for a month now and I like Belmont to win the game outright. The Pick: Take Belmont. |

Bradley +19 v. Michigan State | | 65-76 |
Win | 100 | 17 h 50 m | Show |
Bradley reminds me of a Big Ten team and that's good news for our ticket. This isn't the Michigan State team who was scoring at will in non conference play. Injuries and the grind of the ugly style of basketball most Big Ten teams play has turned them into a low scoring team who slowly chokes teams out and pulls away at the end. Bradley is an outstanding defensive team and will use the Big Ten half court style of play to easily cover this huge spread. The Pick: Take Bradley |
03-21-19 |
Vermont +9 v. Florida State | | 69-76 |
Win | 100 | 16 h 51 m | Show |
In a matchup between two of the better defensive teams in the country I'm liking the dog here. FSU finished 4th in the ACC but there is a big gap between Duke, Carolina and Virginia and the Seminoles when it comes to offense. Florida State struggles to shoot from deep Which plays right into Vermont's hands. Vermont is near the top of every defensîve statistical category except three point shooting defense. The Catamounts keeps it a low scoring, half court game and covers. The Pick Take Vermont |
03-20-19 |
Arizona State -1.5 v. St. John's | | 74-65 |
Win | 100 | 21 h 36 m | Show |
How St John's got in to this tournament is beyond me as they were terrible down the stretch losing 4 of 5 including getting thrashed by 32 points to Marquette in the Big East tournament. The culprit is their defense which is just dreadful. On the other side Arizona State played their way into the first four by going 6-2 down the stretch with their only 2 losses to an Oregon team who is one of the hottest teams in the country. Arizona St underachieved for about two months but they seem to have figured it out and will be a tough out in this tournament. Bobby Hurley has his team ready play and they move on and cover. The Pick: Take ASU |

North Carolina Central v. North Dakota State -5 | | 74-78 |
Loss | -103 | 18 h 37 m | Show |
This first four matchup is between bad teams but North Carolina Central isn't even good enough for The NIT. They can't shoot so their gameplay will be to try to slow the game down to a crawl and win ugly. The problem with that strategy is North Dakota St can knock down shots and are a pretty good 3 point shooting team. I see a close game in the first half before ND State pulls away for the win and cover. The Pick: Take ND State |
03-19-19 |
Dayton v. Colorado -3.5 | | 73-78 |
Win | 100 | 29 h 23 m | Show |
Colorado is a pretty good team but at home they are very good team. Visiting teams, especially ones that don't play in the PAC 12 and haven't experienced playing them at their home gym in altitude don't usually fare well. The Buffaloes Finished their PAC 12 schedule winning 7 straight at home and covering in 6. I'm laying The Points and betting Colorado. The Pick: Take The Colorado |
03-19-19 |
Belmont -3 v. Temple | | 81-70 |
Win | 100 | 24 h 2 m | Show |
I like Temple, they are a tough team who went 1-2 against Cincinnati and Houston this year and they have a future NBA player in Shizz Alston. But Belmont is one of the best offensive teams in the country. They are #1 in the country in assists, #2 in points, #2 in assist to turnover ratio, #4 in shooting percentage and #6 in offensive efficiency. Temple will play well but it won't be enough against that kind of offensive team. Belmont gets the win and cover. The Pick: Take Belmont |
03-19-19 |
South Dakota State +8.5 v. Texas | | 73-79 |
Win | 105 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
South Dakota St should be getting ready for the NCAA Tournement but after getting upset in the first round of their conference tourney here they are and this line is ridiculous. I love fading power conference teams in the NIT because most don't want to be there and are still upset about their bubble bursting. SD State has 3 legitimate offensive weapons who averages over 15 points a game and shoots over 37 percent from 3. Their Best player,Mike Daum averages 25 points a game and is one of the best seniors in the country. I'm betting SD State. The Pick: Take South Dakota State |

Michigan v. Michigan State -1 | | 60-65 |
Win | 100 | 14 h 52 m | Show |
The two best teams in the Big Ten square of for a third time for The Big Ten title and I give the edge to Michigan State. Michigan is a really good team who has enough talent to get back to the Final Four but The Spartans are a bad matchup for them. Michigan State is too physical for the Wolverines and dominates them on the glass. They also swept them this year beating them by 7 last month and 12 last weekend. The Spartans complete the 3 game sweep. The Pick: Take Michigan State |
03-17-19 |
Cincinnati v. Houston -4 | | 69-57 |
Loss | -110 | 13 h 5 m | Show |
It was inevitable for these two teams to play in the title game and it should be a good one. Cincinnati is a very good team and I expect them to get to the 2nd weekend of the NCAA tournament due to their physical defensive style. But Houston is a bad matchup for them. The Cougars are physical themselves, can also lock teams down defensively and won't back down from the Bearcats. The difference between the two team, and why Houston won both meetings (and covered both games) this year is they have more offensive weapons who can hit big shots late. Houston is also 9-1 against the spread this year when favored by 5 points or less. I'm betting on Houston. The Pick: Take Houston |
03-16-19 |
Oregon -1.5 v. Washington | | 68-48 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 25 m | Show |
All season most people including myself thought that Washington was the best team in The PAC 12 and may be the only bid that conference received. But down the stretch The Huskies offensive deficiencies started showing up while Oregon got healthy and caught Fire. These two split their two games in the regular season with both teams winning on their home floor. The Ducks are a different team than they were in their 5 point loss to Washington in January. They are more like the team that dominated Washington on both sides of the floor a week ago And have won and covered in each of their last 7 games. This game won't be as easy as a week ago but I think they are the more complete team and will get the win. The Pick: Take Oregon |

Florida State +8 v. Duke | | 63-73 |
Loss | -110 | 6 h 34 m | Show |
Zion is back and clearly still the best player in college basketball and I expect Duke to come in with the same game plan as last night and that's run the offense through him and ride him to the conference Tournament championship. That being said this line is too high and reflects the public's love of Duke. Florida State is a really good team. They are long, and just as athletic as Duke. When these teams played in January, Florida State was the better team that day and should of won, losing on a 3 point shot with 2 seconds left. Florida State is 5-2 against the spread as underdogs in conference play this year and they'll get the cover here as well. The Pick: Take Florida State |
03-16-19 |
Iowa State v. Kansas -1 | | 78-66 |
Loss | -107 | 4 h 38 m | Show |
The fact that Iowa State even made it to the finals is pretty shocking considering how they ended the regular season, losing 6 of their last 8. But here they are and I think they are getting a little too much credit only being a 1 point dog after beating mediocre Baylor and Kansas State. On the other side this isn't the most talented Kansas team Bill Self has had but he has them playing better as they've won 9 of their last 11. If you don't think these players don't have extra motivation to win this tournament after being the team that let the regular season conference title streak end, think again. Kansas uses the energy of the home crowd and gets it done tonight. The Pick: Take Kansas |
03-16-19 |
Tennessee v. Kentucky -1 | | 82-78 |
Loss | -114 | 3 h 55 m | Show |
Kentucky is flying under the radar with 3 title contenders in the ACC and Gonzaga dominating out west but this team is really good and Calipari has them focused and angry at the disrespect. Speaking of disrespect when Tennessee smashed Kentucky in Knoxville 2 weeks ago they were running and dunking in the final seconds to send Kentucky a message. Well message received. Look for Kentucky to come out firing on all cylinders. I think these two teams are a wash offensively but I give the advantage to Kentucky on the defensive side and obviously coaching. Expect a tight game with Kentucky holding on in the end for the win and cover. The Pick: Take Kentucky

03-16-19 |
Memphis v. Houston -8 | | 58-61 |
Loss | -110 | 3 h 58 m | Show |
Memphis played great yesterday dominating a pretty good Central Florida team who beat them twice this season. But this a tall order for Penny Hardaway's Tigers. Houston is outstanding on both sides of the ball and Memphis will be playing their third game in 3 days. The March Madness dream fades for Memphis as Houston pulls away in the second half for a double digit win. The Pick: Take Houston |
03-16-19 |
Wisconsin v. Michigan State -4.5 | | 55-67 |
Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
Wisconsin is playing well but The Spartans have too much talent in this matchup. Tom Izzo will put in a gameplan to neutralize Ethan Happ and when Happ isn't scoring Wisconsin's offense struggles. Michigan State gets the win and cover. The Pick: Take Michigan State |
03-16-19 |
Florida v. Auburn -3 | | 62-65 |
Push | 0 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
Florida played out of their minds Friday to take down LSU, don't expect a repeat performance. Auburn is peaking right now, playing fantastic on both ends of the floor. Bad matchup for the Gators. Auburn Moves on to The SEC Championship but more importantly cashes our ticket. The Pick: Take Auburn |
03-15-19 |
Oregon -2 v. Arizona State | | 79-75 |

Minnesota +10.5 v. Purdue | | 75-73 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 17 m | Show |
For the last month Minnesota has played really good defense. I don't think they have any shot at winning this game outright but they will keep the score down enough To cover the 10. Purdue starts fast but the gophers play well enough to cash our ticket. The Pick: Take The Gophers |
03-15-19 |
Xavier +7.5 v. Villanova | | 67-71 |
Win | 100 | 1 h 17 m | Show |
Villanova was awful in late February but have been better of late. But this isn't the Villanova who won two out of the last 3 championships. This line reflects the public still treating them as such. Xavier is a good team who has cashed in 7 of their last 8 including a 12 point beat down of Villanova 3 weeks ago. This game will come down to the wire and it wouldn't be shocking if Xavier pulls the upset. The money line is tempting but I'm taking the points. The Pick: Take Xavier |
03-15-19 |
Grambling State v. Prairie View A&M -3 | | 71-81 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 17 m | Show |
Grambling State has looked really good in their last 3 games which is why this line is only 3. Those 3 games were against terrible teams so don't be fooled. Prairie View is the better team Here and this line should be around 6 or 7. Grambling State won't go down easy but Praire View will pull away down the stretch And move on to the SWAC finals. The Pick: Take Prairie View |
03-15-19 |
Connecticut v. Houston -10 | | 45-84 |
