College Basketball Picks

Saint Mary’s has a legitimate chance to earn an NCAA bid by either winning or playing tough against Gonzaga in its third opportunity against the Bulldogs. Gonzaga, on the other hand, likely has a No. 1 seed locked up no matter what it does against the Gaels. In a game like this, where one incredible performance can lead to a fantastic reward, it sometimes happens that a lesser team pulls out a fantastic showing and pulls the upset. It hasn’t happened often against Gonzaga, which has claimed 16 of the past 20 titles in the WCC tournament, but it has happened.

This has been a season that Wofford has been building toward, but not even the Terriers coaching staff thought that they’d be this good that they likely don’t have to worry about this game. Wofford is likely looking at a single-digit seed if it can get a win here, and that’s because the Terriers have taken care of business against the teams they should beat. With sportsbooks sitting on opening this line until the last moment, what number gives bettors value for tonight’s match-up?” Dan Jamison gives his prediction.

Gonzaga hasn’t played since March 2 against Saint Mary’s. By the time this game tips off, the Bulldogs will have been idle for nine days while the Waves have been in action and gotten themselves comfortable with playing in Orleans Arena. This sometimes means that the underdog is able to build momentum and hang with the favorite for longer than it should.

The Buckeyes have more to play for when they host the Badgers on Sunday afternoon at the Value City Arena, but that doesn’t mean that this is a meaningless game for the visitor. Ohio State is only 5-4 at home against the Big Ten and 4-5 versus the number this season. Read Dan’s breakdown on this match-up and see who he thinks is the right side to back versus the spread.

The Spartans will look to sweep the Wolverines when they take to the court of the Breslin Center tonight in East Lansing. An interesting trend is in play in this series with the straight up winner going a bankroll padding 10-1 against the spread. Our CBB handicapper has other ideas on what to bet today.
