Today's NCAA Basketball Picks:
Game: Xavier at Rhode Island (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Game Total UNDER 151 -110 (risk 4 to win 3.6)
Xavier is an A-10 team that has probably most resembled a Big East team over the last several years. They play gritty defense, and work the ball well on the offensive end. Rhode Island has had trouble with that type of team, as they like to run up-and-down the floor. Providence and Villanova put the clamps on that style and held the Rams to 65 points in both games. I see a similar situation facing them here. The X-men have held 10 of 14 teams to 66 or less. The Rams are now 4-0 to the UNDER against the good teams that have a winning percentage of .600 or higher. I like this one to fall short of the total and will back the UNDER.
Game: Minnesota at Wisconsin (9:00 PM Eastern)Pick: 5 units on Minnesota +6.5 (-110) (risk 5 to win 4.6)Pick: 2 units on Game Total OVER 124.5 -110 (risk 2 to win 1.8)
This is a Wisconsin team that simply isn't on the same level of the ones we have seen the past two seasons. Those teams finished the regular season with a total of four losses. Here we are just getting into conference play and the Badgers have already fallen four times. The Golden Gophers however, are a vastly-improved team and will enter this contest looking more like what we have seen in the past from Wisconsin. They are 15-1 and have now won three straight Big-10 tilts as well. This is simply too many points to be giving for a surging team that has covered seven of their last eight and playing well above the line. I will play Minnesota in this one. I also like the OVER here as Minnesota will come in here shooting 47.7% on the season – No. 29 in the country. The other good-shooting team the Badgers faced was UConn who put up 76 points.
