Best Bet BYU +4.5 (-110) 7:09PM: Two really good teams in the matchup straight up and against the spread. Both teams can run, shoot the 3 and score some points. Even with the teams matching up very well against each other, it seems like BYU is the better shooting team. In both the first and…

Best Bet St. John’s -6.5 (-115) 2:40PM: St. John’s has one of the best defenses in the country. In the first round Arkansas got off to a hot start in first half, scoring almost 50 points. Then Kansas implemented a zone defense where Arkansas struggled. It’s also a matchup of Pitino vs Calipari. Pitino has…

Best Bet Kentucky/Troy over 151.5 (-110) 7:10PM: Troy is not the best scoring team but they can above 80. They’re mid level in terms of efficiency and have a slower tempo. Kentucky on the other hand is top 10 offense and top 25 in tempo. However, their defense is not great and can let up…

Best Bet Purdue/High Point over 154.5 (-110) 12:40PM: Both teams play at a slower tempo but both rank in the top 25 in offensive rating according to KenPom. I think these are 2 very similar teams and match up wel against each other. Overs so far after the First Four are 4-0, definitely a switch…

Best Bet Xavier -2.5 (-110) 9:10PM: Xavier finished the year 7-1 and that one loss was in the Big East tournament against Marquette. They were leading basically that entire game and ending falling within the last 5 minutes. Texas on the other hand finished the year 3-5. They did put up a good fight in…

Best Bet UNC/SDSU under 141.5 (-115) 9:10PM: UNC does not have great defense but has a great offense. SDSU has a great defense but no a great offense. SDSU is getting their big man back from injury and feel like they can control the tempo. In their last 6 games, SDSU has only gone over…

Best Bet Memphis/UAB over 157.5 (-115) 3:15PM: Memphis 2 tournament games have gone over pretty easily. Their offense is elite and the defense is not great. UAB has given up 80 points in 3 of the last 4 games. Gonna trust they can keep making shots and have high up tempo offenses.

Best Bet Florida -3.5 (-110) 3:30PM: Florida is one of the best teams in the country and have been playing well to finish the year. This game against Bama could actually be for the 4th 1 seed. I think the other 3 are locked up. Bama’s offense is really good but their defense is average….

Best Bet Grand Canyon -8.5 (-105) 11:30PM: There are 2 dominant teams in the WAC, Grand Canyon and Utah Valley. GCU finished 13-3 and Utah Valley finished 15-1. No one else in the conference had double digit wins. Grand Canyon is also one of the darlings of the previous NCAA tournaments. This is a good…

Best Bet Oklahoma +6.5 (-110) 9:00PM: Ride the team that has everything to play against a team that really has nothing to play for. Oklahoma is on the bubble, depending on where you look they could be in the last 4 in or first 4 out. So they desperately need a win to boost up…
