Daily CBB Picks: 3/6/19
This will start to begin a followed series, until the end of the season and fully starting next season. Enjoy the picks being made and let us know what games you want us to follow in the comments below.
Record: 4-1 (80%)
#10 LSU at Florida
Last time we got this game it ended up as an overtime upset for the Gators. However, this is usually the time in the season where teams are focused on grabbing a good conference tournament seed and avenging previous losses. I think this is what we get with this game and the Tigers will get a great win over the Gators on the road. LSU 78, Florida 69
#16 Marquette at Seton Hall
We can all see that both of these teams have been performing at a rate that doesn’t match their actual talent. However, I think Markus Howard and the Golden Eagles are due for a win. Look for Seton Hall to bear another close loss for their season. Marquette 67, Seton Hall 62
Oregon State at Washington
I would normally pin this for an upset alert, as Oregon State has been playing a great brand of basketball lately. Then I saw that the Beavers would be moving on the road to take on the Huskies. This Washington team hasn’t been playing great this month, but they’ll get a solid win at home. Washington 75, Oregon State 70
Providence at Creighton
This game occurred already once this season and we say what happened. Creighton has been the better team as of the last five and are just playing better basketball. I feel Creighton will bury this Providence team once more and dismantle the spread given to them. Creighton 76, Providence 67
Duquesne at Saint Louis
A surprisingly promising game in terms of conference play in a lesser conference. Duquesne got the win earlier this year against the Billikens, however, both teams have changed since then. This Saint Louis squad has been playing too good of a defensive show for me to think Duquesne will pull off another good win. Saint Louis 73, Duquesne 69
