After Sugar basically ran us into the ground the last two days with his NCAA March Madness picks, I thought I would chime in and try to right the ship with a few bangers of my own. After today, the only Madness we'll be talking about is you actually taking Sugar's advice the whole first round! heh heh...ok, time for the picks...
(9)Pitt vs (1)Florida ( -240 ) (WINNER!)
This picks is for a teaser or a parlay mainly. I'm thinking chalk rules the second round as the public starts to move heavily on the dogs. Florida is not a team to be fucked with as of late. Their senior leadership and dominant defense have been the key to their success all year, especially late in the season. Look for future NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Wilbekin to lead a balanced, sometimes boring offense for the Gators as they win a nice 60-54 contest against a shitty version of Syracuse. Pitt sucks against ranked teams and they're going to struggle with Florida's defense. Throw this in a parlay.(7)Oregon vs (2)Wisconsin (OVER 145.5) (WINNER!)
While trying to come to a consensus on what games to pick for Saturday, Catz and I decided to go with Wisconsin (ML) as the official pick for this game. Well, Catz is asleep right now, and I feel like taking the over. In Oregon and Wisconsin, you have two of the NCAA's best offenses. Oregon is high scoring because they push the ball and have a great perimeter based attack. Their defense isn't great, but they do force turnovers. Wisconsin's offense is not as flashy as Oregon, but they are way more efficient and tend not to turn the ball over. The Badgers aren't afraid to push the ball either, but mainly, their players are looking for lay ins and open threes, not contested twos (as the Ducks tend to settle for). Everyone can take Catz's advice an go under with a Wisconsin win, or live on the wild side with me and stress out when the score is 32-21 at half tomorrow!
(7) UCONN (+4) vs (2) Villanova (WINNER!)
The Huskies may be tired after their hard fought OT victory over St. Joes. But I'd rather take a slightly tired UCONN team than an overrated Nova squad that can't shoot! Shabazz Napier has been here before. We all remember the bad ass, Kemba Walker fueled run through the Big East and to the title. Shabazz was there! A scrappy, overconfident freshman that somehow made big plays. Well he's back again and he has lead the Huskies to the tournament in a poor man's Kemba manner. Look for the Huskies to win this one outright and send the overachievers home.
