College Basketball Picks

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.
