NCAA Tourney Picks Saturday + NBA

Wow- who out there had the Lehigh/Norfolk St money line parlay? I am sure someone did. Yes, those games busted many brackets but you had to like it.

On to Saturday, 3-3 so far but a little ahead with the overweight on Cinci. Time to start a streak.

Top Picks:

Gonzaga +8 vs Ohio St
Murray St/Marquette over 142.5
Vandy -1 vs Wisconsin

NBA Top Pick:

Bulls -5 vs 76ers

Gonzaga- The Zags have been a bit underrated all year. They are a pretty battle tested team with balance. The Buckeyes are of course a great team but they have not blown out other good teams throughout the season especially on the road. Overall I think 8 points is too much on a neutral site as this game will go back and forth with both teams alternating on the lead and playing from behind. I see the winner taking this one by 4 points or less on either side.

Murray St/Marquette- Two good teams that are athletic. Although Marquette has the side advantage they won't be afraid to push the pace when they have the chance. Murray st will be shooting threes and push the pace as well. Look for an entertaining game and for both teams to score into the upper 70's.

Vandy- Another underrated team that the general public does not know too much about. They are very athletic and can shoot the lights out. Wisconsin will need to control the boards and may be able to but I am looking for Vandy to make shots, keep the pressure on and get Wiscy out of the their game plan and take this one.

Pros

Bulls- I have staying away from the pros but take advantage of this game. The bulls have not lost back to back games and were embarrassed last night. When they have had bad losses they have come out super focused and I expect a focused effort in this one.
