I have been riding Syracuse throughout this tournament and I’m not going to abandon them now. This is not the team the Tar Heels beat February 29th, 75-70. Boheim did his magic and got this team here when no one gave them a chance. These kids are playing with confidence and if the Q plays their A game on defense, which averages 65.8 against on a neutral site, they can cover the 9.5 and maybe even win it!
Tonight’s pick:
Syracuse Orange +9.5
The Morehead State Eagles and the Nevada Wolf Pack meet in Reno tonight to decide who wins the CBI Championship. Despite having 21 turnovers on Wednesday night, the Wolf Pack prevailed 77-68. The Pack are 15-3 at home and are averaging 74.1 points per game and allowing an average of 68.9 at home. The Eagles are 8-10 on the road and are averaging 70.1 points per game and allowing an average of 71.0 on the road. If Nevada can limit their turnovers, they should win this game. The line has dropped to -3.5 Wolf Pack, so I’m siding with Nevada money line -160.
Tonight’s pick:
Nevada Wolf Pack -160 M/L
