Leading off with the early slate here are a few picks to get the juices flowing. As always- don’t be emotional and use your head.
Maryland TT o61.5 -115 : Maryland averages 72 ppg and Iowa’s defense leaves much to be desired. This game lacks any energy and Maryland should easily hit the team total.
Washington ML/St. Bonaventure ML Parlay +118: The Bonnie should rollllll La Salle today. They score 76.3 ppg and 15.6 assists per game leading to high efficency. La Salle is 9-23; enough said. Washington is 39th in the nation in offensive rebounding and should hammer USC in the paint. If they can get some quick buckets off turnovers they should handle the Trojans.
Xavier/Marquette Under 156.5 -110: Marquette is an inefficient team with an up and down 3 pt shooting percentage and a stout defense. Xavier should force some long possessions as they give up turnovers just 13.4%- good enough for 9th in the country. I anticipate a slower pace for this mid-day matchup.
Edited to add: WVU TT under 67.5 -105: WVU plays a very slow and physical game. They will want to keep up up tempo and efficent BYU offense at bay with longer possessions and crashing the boards. If they get behind early they’ll have to rely on 3 point shooting which they average just 33% (30% last 5 games).
