2009 <\/strong>NCAA Tournament<\/strong><\/a> Round 1 Action<\/strong><\/p>\n Friday March 20, 3:00 PM ET<\/p>\n Boise, ID Taco Bell Arena<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 West Region<\/p>\n The Cornell Big Red are 3-4 ATS in the last 7 games. They are 1-2 on the season when underdogs of 10 or more. The under has hit in the last 5 games.The Ivy League Champs haven\u2019t played since 3\/7\/09. They are led in scoring by 6\u20196\u201d Forward Ryan Wittman at 18.5 pts per game. Cornell averages 40.7% from three, which is really good considering they put up 23 a game. But they haven\u2019t played a defense as stingy as Missouri.<\/a><\/p>\n The Tigers are 10-3 ATS in the last 13. They are 5-2 ATS on neutral courts and 8-2 when favored by 10 or more this year. The under has hit 7 times in the last 10 games. Leading scorers DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons should use their athleticism to dominate inside. Missouri, winners of the Big 12 Tournament, have been red hot as of late.<\/p>\n Missouri will have the size and athletic advantage. JT Tiller, defensive player of the year in the Big 12, will lead the charge to stop Cornell\u2019s perimeter offense. Cornell will hang with Mizzou early but won\u2019t have the fire power to keep up all game long.<\/p>\n Last game for Cornell: Win 60-51 vs. Princeton Tennessee -2<\/p>\n Over\/Under 156.5<\/p>\n No Recent Matchups<\/p>\n Pick \u2013 Missouri -13<\/p>\n Pick \u2013 UNDER 146<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Chris Hahn is a regular contributor to the Cappers Picks Blog.
