Cavaliers vs Spartans Pick – NCAA Tournament

At this time of year it is easy to fall in love with a team because you see them so often. The opposite happened with me and Virginia though. Seeing them more only confirmed my theories about their limitations.

Sweet 16 Handicapping Tips

It is amazing how quickly we get down to the Sweet Sixteen isn’t it. There are lots of really good teams in the field but as we have seen all tournament long sometimes the matchup is as important as anything. Some team’s strengths are easily neutralized and some team’s weaknesses are easily exploited.

Duke Blue Devils vs. Michigan State Spartans Gambling Prediction & CBB Preview

Michigan St vs Duke March Madness Betting!

It is a little bit odd that Duke beat Creighton by a greater margin than they did Albany. I thought the Blue Jays would be able to push Duke but they shot horribly in a very disappointing performance.

Louisville vs Oregon March Madness Betting!

Two games in and the Cardinals have won by 31 and 26 points. If that pattern holds than they should beat Oregon by 21 and might not be challenged until the Championship game.

La Salle vs Wichita State March Madness Betting!

I have long admired the Shockers program and I thought they would play well but I just didn’t see how they would beat Gonzaga. Even if they were able to shorten the game a little bit and play their guts out I still thought they would come up just a little bit short.

Cincinnati Bearcats vs Ohio State Buckeyes
Thursday March 22
East Region – Boston, MA
9:45PM
Moneyline:  No money line currently listed
Spread:  Ohio State -8
O/U: 129

Matchup | Preview 

Cincinnati

I am not saying the Bearcats are my pick to win it all but they certainly deserve to be here and won’t be intimidated by Ohio State.

Cincinnati is coming off a win against Florida State which is no easy task.

Guard Sean Kilpatrick got his game back scoring a team high 18 points as forward Yancy Gates was neutralized in the post by the Seminoles.  The game against FSU was far from pretty but it showed the Bearcats have more than enough grit.

I really like the way they locked in at the foul line making 82% of their shots (they were 64% during the regular season).

Ohio State

I suppose I have to eat some humble pie after Ohio State eliminated my Gonzaga Bulldogs.  [soliloquy id=”82219″]

In the first half the Zags were all over the Buckeyes but their staying power wasn’t very strong, surprising because I still think they are the deeper team.  Ohio State didn’t dominate but they got the job done.

Fellow Ohio school Cincinnati is in the way but this is a favourable matchup despite the steam behind the Bearcats right now.

I am still looking for the evidence that Jared Sullinger is going to be a good player at the next level.

If that is the case he should be able to have success against Bearcats beast of a power forward Yancy Gates.  I think it will be a bit of a stalemate which is fine for the Buckeyes who are superior at all the other spots.

They will probably win going away this time.  Next us Wisconsin?  Maybe.

Spread Pick:  Ohio State -8
O/U Pick:  Over
Score Prediction:  Ohio State 72 – Cincinnati 62
