The Colgate Raiders take on the Tennessee Volunteers tonight and Matt Lowry takes on the sportsbooks and gives you his college basketball prediction. Colgate is up against a big time team in Tennessee but Volunteer backers are up against a big time spread of 17.5. Can the Vols cover a big number coming off a shellacking at the hands of Auburn?

The first thing to notice about these two teams, is that they score a boatload of points. Kansas has seen the total go over in 7 of the last 10 games and 5 of the last 6. As for the Huskies, the over is 5-5 in their last 10 and 3-2 in their last 5. Both of these two teams last games have gone over the current over under total line of 143. Is that enough to look hard at a pick on the over? Matt Lowry breaks it down!

The Bradley Braves take on the Michigan State Spartans as huge 18.5 point underdogs this afternoon at 2:45pm. Matt Lowry breaks down the matchup, the sportsbook’s monster spread and gives his pick on the total of 133.5.

Dan Jamison tells us why this game between the Arizona State Sun Devils and the St. John’s Red Storm will come down to bench production. DJ takes a look at Mullin’s rotation for St. Johns and and ASU’s depth and considers it a major factor when making his NCAA selection. Read the breakdown and get DJ’s pick against the spead!

Experience matters. The Eagles’ seven seniors have been to Dayton twice before, and they know what it’s like to try to learn about an opponent and get ready for them in less than 72 hours. Nobody from North Dakota State has ever played in the NCAA tournament before. But DJ doesn’t think that is enough to bet on and tells us why he is putting his money behind North Dakota State and laying the points. See DJ’s first four pick!

For all of their trips to the NCAA tournament between them, Rick Byrd and Fran Dunphy haven’t exactly found their way to success in March. Byrd is 0-7 at Belmont and Dunphy sports a mark of 3-16 at Pennsylvania and Temple. Granted, that’s in large part because neither has ever had a very high seed. This year sportsbooks have these two teams separated by 3.5 points meaning its an opportunity to get the rare win! DJ breaks down the match up and offers his free pick.

Prairie View gets most of its contributions from juniors and is a year ahead of schedule, but the one key senior for the Panthers is a big one: Gary Blackston, who leads the Panthers with 15.2 points and seven rebounds per game. Blackston is one of just a few players in purple who was actually alive the last time Prairie View made the tournament in 1998, when the Panthers lost by 58 to Kansas. Can old man Blackston help get the Panthers into the field of 64? DJ breaks down the sportsbook opener and offers his college hoops pick.

The Spartans will look for a clean sweep when they take on the Wolverines on Sunday in the Big Ten Championship game.

Check out who our NCAA handicapper is betting on this game.

Tennessee and Auburn will meet for the second time this season when they take to the hardcourt at Bridgestone Arena.
