5 Star
Cincinnati -2.5 vs Texas
Top Picks
San Diego St +2 vs NC St.
Ohio +5.5 vs Michigan
Cincinnati- The Bearcats have had a solid season with impressive wins at home and on the road in the Big East but this pick is fading the Longhorns who did just enough in a down Big 12 to get into the tournament. The Longhorns in a normal Big 12 year would have struggled and been likely relegated to the NIT. Take advantage of the perception that Texas belong but the reality that Cinci is the much better team.
San Diego St- Similar game to the one above. SD St has a solid squad but never got a lot of respect nationally despite their relatively high ranking. NC St is not tournament worthy in my opinion. A big selling point for the Wolfpack is that they had a "good" loss against North Carolina. Huh? They really did not win much on the road and will be one of those teams that people say I knew they were not that good; what was I thinking? Don't be one of those guys.
Ohio- A somewhat obscure team but they are playing an overrated Michigan team that had a nice run in early January but did not do much in February. Look for a close game that will come down to a final possession for either team.
