Today's NCAA Basketball Picks:
Game: Washington State at North Carolina (7:25 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on North Carolina -8.5 (-110) (risk 4 to win 3.6)
The Tar Heels haven't just won this year, they have won big. They have an amazing 26 double-digit wins on the season and are absolutely clicking on offense right now. Washington State is capable of slowing the pace, but what happens if they fall behind? They are not a good team playing from behind especially against a Carolina team that can hang 10 points on them in a matter of a minute and a half. The Heels have gone over 80 points in 29 games this season. Washington State is out-manned at all five positions and equally as much on the bench. It's going to take one big Carolina run to get Washington St. out of their comfort zone, and when it does happen this could easily turn into a 20+ point game, and we will back the high-scoring Heels to win big here.
Game: Louisville vs. Tennessee (9:55 PM Eastern)Pick: 3 units on Game Total OVER 146 -110 (risk 3 to win 2.7)
Tennessee is averaging 82.5 points per game and likes to pressure and get the ball up and down the floor. Louisville employs the same strategy as Pitino likes to pressure as well. This game could have a lot of quick possessions and turnovers converted as well into quick hoops. Tennessee has not slowed down in the postseason either producing 82 ppg in four games. The Vols have produced 13 of 18 OVERS in neutral site games in their last 18, while Louisville has been 11-5 to the OVER after an extreme defensive game, after they allowed 50 points or less. Both of these teams can score, and get hot from behind the arc and make big offensive runs, so we'll ride the OVER here.
Results: 1-1
