Buy Razor Ray’s CBB Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Wildcats were just too big inside, an advantage that I expect they will exploit again on Saturday against Harvard who pulled the most stunning upset of the first day (I know) of the tournament.<\/p>\n Odds are Arizona will put them in their place.<\/p>\n The Wildcats had a very efficient shooting performance against Belmont. They made 57% of their shots including 53% of their three point attempts. They received especially strong production from freshman center Kaleb Tarczewski. He was perfect from the floor on his way to a 12 point, 8 rebound performance.<\/p>\n It tied his season high and he should find it easy to get the shots he wants in the paint against Harvard.<\/p>\n The Wildcats get to be the beneficiary\u2019s of the Crimson\u2019s upset of New Mexico. It looks like they are going to get a chance in cruise into the Sweet Sixteen and should beat Harvard by double the posted number.<\/p>\n I think there is great value on the Wildcats, under other circumstances this number would likely be much greater.<\/p>\n Some more recent Harvard teams are probably better than this one but here they are in the round of 32 with a chance to go to the Sweet Sixteen if they can conquer Arizona. [ad-6571516]<\/p>\n The Ivy champs compete hard and are a very good three point shooting team which enables them to compete better than their talent and athleticism should enable them to.<\/p>\n Still Thursday\u2019s upset of New Mexico was their biggest win of the season.<\/p>\n Their win against the Lobos was all about shooting. Harvard was hot and New Mexico was not. The Crimson, led by Wesley Saunders\u2019 18 points, shot better than 52% for the game, while making 44% of their triples. If they can keep that up they will force Arizona to play well.<\/p>\n They will need what little reliable size they have to step forward and play well. Great shooting can neutralize the rebounding edge the Wildcats have though.<\/p>\n One thing to like about Harvard is that they play well away from home.<\/p>\n They are 9-4-1 ATS on the road this season and beat New Mexico as 10 point underdogs.<\/p>\n They are staring at the same number in this game but it is a much more difficult task ahead of them. Their run is likely to end on Saturday.<\/p>\n Spread Pick: Arizona -10.5<\/strong> Crimson vs Wildcats East Region Spread\/Handicapping Despite Belmont being a perennial Cinderella pick, the Arizona Wildcats had little trouble dispatching them in their opening round game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":21861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1415],"tags":[53103,56982,3646,1477,4631,58587,471,10388,58588,8960,4210,4694,10434,13318,11936,58471,46706],"class_list":["post-61073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-basketball","tag-53103","tag-2013-ncaa-basketball-odds","tag-arizona-wildcats","tag-cbb-picks","tag-college-basketball-odds","tag-crimson-vs-wildcats","tag-free-picks","tag-harvard-crimson","tag-harvard-crimson-vs-arizona-wildcats","tag-march-madness","tag-ncaa-basketball-lines","tag-ncaa-hoops-predictions","tag-ncaa-tournament","tag-round-3","tag-west-bracket","tag-west-region-bracket","tag-west-region-picks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61073"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61073\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61084,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61073\/revisions\/61084"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
