Friday March Madness Pick

The 27-7 St. Joe’s Hawks and the 22-10 Cincinnati Bearcats hit the floor tonight in Spokane, Washington. The Hawks cover. They are 21-7-1 ATS in the last 29 overall and 5-0 ATS in the last 5 on a neutral site. The Hawks have the edge in points per game, field goals, free throws, and turnovers. The Bearcats do not do well on common turf. They are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games and in non-conference play they are also 1-6 ATS in their last 7. On the flip side, the Hawks are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 non-conference games. St. Joe’s looked impressive on Sunday with their 87-74 win over VCU. With that said, I’m taking the 2.5 and siding with the Hawks.

Tonight’s pick:

St. Joe’s Hawks +2.5
