Today's NCAA Basketball Picks:

Game: Vermont at Wisconsin Green Bay (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Wisconsin Green Bay -245 (moneyline) (risk 4 to win 1.6)

Vermont had a good run in the NCAA Tournament a couple years ago, but certainly this isn't a team on the same level. They are a good team in the American East, but they will be harshly tested here against the Phoenix. The Phoenix are a top level home team that closed the season with just one loss at home and that one was in OT. Vermont is not on the level of some of the teams Wisc-GB has beaten at home this season and a win here by Vermont would be a huge upset. I don't see them getting it done and I'm going with Wisconsin Green Bay on the moneyline.

The Golden Hurricanes play in a conference with Memphis which certainly limits their chances. What they did manage to do is close the season at 12-1 when playing anyone but Memphis. This is a team that plays sticky defense and is a very tough out on their home court. The Wildcats had a decent year in the Big Ten, but not good enough, and they lacked consistency through the season. They had a couple big wins on the road, but for the most part couldn't get it done finishing 3-9 on the road in their last 12. Wildcats also sport a 1-6 ATS mark as a road dog of up to 5.5 in their last seven, while the Golden Hurricanes are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 as a favorite and they get the call here, Tulsa with the win and cover.

Results: 1-1
