Daily CBB Picks: 3/7/19
Yesterday we had a good string of picks, however, Marquette failed to keep us on a 5-0 run. I feel that we might our work out for us tonight with some troubling picks. In spite of some good Top-25 action, lets get to the picks:
Record for Last Picks: 4-1 (80%)
Overall Record: 8-2 (80%)
#20 Cincinnati at #25 UCF
We got to see this posing matchup not to long ago with UCF traveling to Cincinnati instead. However, this time it is the other way around and UCF is picking up some steam. I expect to UCF to preform well at home like they’ve been doing the whole season. Something in me wants to pick the Bearcats, but this UCF squad seems to be the team tonight. UCF 82, Cincinnati 75
Iowa at #23 Wisconsin
When you have such an atrocity for a matchup, you try to look at consistency through wins and losses. And it looks like Wisconsin is the team that wins by a little or losses by a little. I am leaning towards the Badgers in this one to jump back on the map and for Iowa’s stock to decrease even more. Wisconsin 65, Iowa 51
SMU at #12 Houston
I would not want to waste your precious time too much with this pick. The Cougars are simply better in every category and that is why we see such a split in the records. Houston will get a big win tonight. Houston 87, SMU 69
UCLA at Colorado
For this NCAA fan group, it has been painful to watch a team so great fall back to the bottom. And I think that we get a higher dosage of disappointment tonight from the Bruins. UCLA has been averaging a great deal in the points department, but their defense has been their downfall. We will see UCLA come in thinking they can just outscore and realize that Colorado’s defense is too much to handle. Colorado 73, UCLA 69
Grand Canyon at Utah Valley
Yes, we have dove into the world of the WAC. We will see two talented squads duke it out for a surprisingly great game. I want to pick the Grand Canyon Antelopes to get the upset and move to the finals, but I just can’t. Last time we saw these two play, Utah Valley played too well of a game to lose. And this time, Utah Valley does what they do best at home: Win. Utah Valley 84, Grand Canyon 78
