Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs Pick

Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs Pick

Two fantastic defensive clubs take to the floor at the Honda Center in Anaheim on Saturday night when Gonzaga and Texas Tech tip off at 6:10 PM ET. The team with the better offense will be the key to this game and on paper the Bulldogs certainly do stand out in that category. See Dan’s take and get his against the spread prediction.

North Carolina Tar Heels vs Auburn Tigers Pick

North Carolina Tar Heels vs Auburn Tigers Pick

Both teams have been solid against the spread recently, with the Tigers going 6-4 and the Tar Heels going 7-3. An interesting trend shows that the Tar Heels play great basketball after coming off a win by 20 points or more. They are 9-1 straight up and 7-2-1 against the spread. As for Auburn they are 5-2 straight up and 4-3 ATS when they win their previous game by 10 to 19 points. Obviously every team still in the tourney is coming off some kind of high, as losers go home. But which team truly has momentum? Matt Lowry breaks down the matchup and the sportsbook’s spread of 5.5.

Houston Cougars vs. Kentucky Wildcats Pick

Houston Cougars vs. Kentucky Wildcats Pick

PJ Washington remains sidelined and is listed as questionable for this Sweet 16 game. Without Washington, Kentucky had just two double-digit scorers in the game against Wofford, which is a huge concern especially against a defensive-minded team like Houston. Sportsbooks seem to agree making the Cats only 3 point favorites. Matt Lowry gives his college basketball prediction.

LSU Tigers vs. Michigan State Spartans Pick

LSU Tigers vs. Michigan State Spartans Pick

Remember what Bill Simmons has fondly said: always beware of the “nobody believes in us” team. LSU has taken that status and run with it so far, winning two games by a combined six points against Yale and Maryland to overcome losing its coach and reach the Sweet 16. It’s the 30-year anniversary of the last time an interim coach won the national title (Michigan’s Steve Fisher), and the Tigers appear to have rallied around coach Tony Benford and their chance to silence their critics. Does that create an opportunity here betting LSU against the spread at +6? DJ gives his basketball pick!

Purdue Boilermakers vs. Tennessee Volunteers Pick

Purdue Boilermakers vs. Tennessee Volunteers Pick

Both of the tournament games have been worrying for this Tennessee team. In the first-round game against Colgate they had to go to the final minutes to put them away and of course their most recent game where they blew a 25-point lead to Iowa in the second half. Is underestimating early round teams the reason the bookmakers have made them only 1.5 point favorites?
