The Pick: Take Florida

The Pick: Take The Clippers

The Pick: Take The Rockets

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 

Tennessee has the ability to score a lot of points and has broken 80 in both tournament games but this game won't be high scoring Auburn will be playing in their 4th game in 4 days and will slow the game down and make it a half court struggle to conserve energy. Trying to run with Tennessee in this game would be a mistake they won't make. I'm betting the under. The Pick: Take The UNDER

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

This total is a little low, even for a Big Ten game. Michigan State and Michigan have the most talent in the conference and it's going to be hard for these two defenses to play well enough to keep this game from breaking 130. Both of these teams have cashed the over in 4 of their last 6 games and both games they played against each other this season went over the total. They combined for 147 points in Ann Arbor on February 24th and 138 points in the rematch in East Lansing last weekend. THE PICK: Take The OVER

This total is a little high for me. Yale likes to play fast but Harvard will try to slow the game down and take The home crowd out of it. The intensity of the game to see who goes to the tournament as well as playing the second day in row will slow the game down as well. The under has cashed in 4 of Harvards last 5 games and Yale has gone under the total in 9 of their 14 conference games this year.  I don't see this game breaking 140. The Pick: Take The UNDER
