Iowa State WoSDL / Ohio State WbDD:
OSU are currently favored by 7 in this one, and are playing great basketball. Iowa have only lost 4 games this year by double digits, while 20 of OSU’s 27 victories have come by DD. Iowa have the 4th best PPG at 79.6 on 45% shooting. OSU’s defense gives up an average of 64.47 PPG on 39.5% shooting.

Who will Win the Tournament: Tiger Woods / AOP
Woods was favored to win the tournament coming into the weekend, and currently holds a 2 stroke lead. Through the first three rounds he has a -3 (69), -2 (70), and a -6 (66). He’s hot right now and should win this here.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Woods (Dro)

Phillsz’s Pick:
Temple FT Made or Tie / Indiana Winning Margin:
Indiana are favored by 12 here, while Temple average 15.27 FTM/G. Indiana only allowed 4 FTA for the game against James Madison in the round of 64, while Temple was able to beat out NC State by 4 thanks to the 33 FTA’s given to them by State, making 21 of them. Indiana is a much better team than NC State and I think they can limit Temples Free Throws a lot better than the Wolfpack did.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Indiana Winning Margin (Reggie)

Phillsz’s Pick:
Atlanta Hawks @ Milwaukee Bucks:
The Bucks are currently -3 favorites to win here, and are 18-16 at home this season, while the Hawks are 16-18 on the road. H2H in Milwaukee between these two is split 5-5, though Atlanta’s been able to take 3 of the last 5. This is a toss-up, but I’d go with the home team if I absolutely had to.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Bucks (Reggie)

Minnesota WoSDL / Florida WbDD:
Florida are currently -8 favorites to win here, and though Minnesota’s been great, beating UNLV by 20 in the round of 64, I think Miami take this one by 10+.

The Spurs are -1.5 favorites in this one, and both teams are 4-1 in their last 5 games. Houston owns the H2H at home, going 6-4 in the last 10, though they’ve lost the last 2. Without Parker, I see Houston taking this one, though it’ll be close.

La Salle Explorers vs Ole Miss Rebels:
The Rebels are -4 favorites to win here, and are coming off a huge upset over Wisconson, while La Salle just upset Kansas State. This game could go either way, but I like Ole Miss.

St Louis Blues @ Calgary Flames:
The Blues are -121 favorites to win this matchup, and are 4-1 in their last 5, while Calgary are 2-3. H2H Calgary has gone 3-2 in the last 5 at home, though they’ve lost the last 2. On the road the Blues have scored 50 goals, while giving up 47. Calgary on the other hand have scored 52 at home, while giving up 46. This could go either way, but you gotta go with the hotter team right now.

Philadelphia 76ers @ Sacramento Kings:
Sacramento are -2.5 favorites here, though the 76ers have won 4 of the last 5 between these 2 in Sacramento. Both of these teams are sub-par this year, and unless you’re in desparate need of a win, you should probably stay away.
