BJ's Bad Picks Sunday

We went 9-0 yesterday and 3 of those picks were NCAA tournament games. So let's roll out a few more to keep this streak alive.

North Carolina vs Iowa State (UNDER 159) (L)
These two teams can light it up, so this scares me a little. Neither of these teams run with the fury of an Oregon, or operate with Wisconsin-esque efficiency. Look for the first 10 minutes of this one to be a "test the waters" approach from both offenses, before one time pulls away. I honestly have no idea what's going to happen as far as the winner or loser goes, but I have a feeling the Cyclones are going to pull this one out, even without one of their starters.

Stephen F. Austin (+9) vs UCLA (L)
The Lumberjacks were my pick to be the upset specialists of this years tournament. Well, it turns out that most of the top teams in the NCAA just suck (Cuse, Kansas, Zona you're next). One thing I will give SFAU is they are built to score and they've put up big numbers all year. With their uptempo, long range attack, the 'jacks should be able to keep it close with one of the only Pac12 teams with some talent.

Gonzaga (+7.5) vs Arizona (L)
I'm not picking this because of any in depth scouting or game film or any of that bullshit. I just think Arizona sucks. The Pac12 isn't good, they're missing their best player and they have been shaky the latter part of the year. Gonzaga has shooting, and that will give you a shot in any game. I am shocked that this line is only 7.5 seeing as Arizona is regarded as a top 2 team in the nation, but fuck it, Gonzaga covers this one.
