College Basketball Picks for March 8th
Posted by deaconcat08 on March 8, 2010
These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange, and they are ordered from most confident to least confident. Please scroll down to see that I easily hit all five of the games I picked for Saturday. Today, I”m all about the 1 seed vs. 2 seed conference championship matchups that have a 4-point spread.
Gonzaga (-4.0) vs. Saint Mary’s- The Bulldogs have absolutely owned the Gaels in the past few years and cruised to victories in both of their meetings this season. I don’t expect a lot out of the Zags in the Big Dance, but they should win another WCC title tonight in Vegas by a comfortable margin.
Appalachian State (+4.5) vs. Wofford- I watched both of these teams play in person last night, and by using the ultimately subjective eyeball test, App. State looked much better. I was actually shocked by how good the Mountaineers looked in their blowout victory over Charleston. If they play that well tonight, they will cruise to victory here and be a very dangerous 14-seed in next week’s Big Dance (especially against an undersized 3-seed).
Saturday’s Record: 5-0 (5 spot!), Overall Season Record: 32-20
