Our official Wisconsin Badgers vs. Ohio State Buckeyes pick is here at Cappers Info, as two great teams get set to square off on the college basketball odds. Join us for all of the great NCAA basketball predictions for what should be another great game on the college basketball schedule tonight!

Big Ten Tournament Final Picks: Wisconsin Badgers vs. Ohio State Buckeyes
Date: Sunday, March 17th, 3:30 ET
Location: United Center, Chicago, IL
Wisconsin vs. Ohio State Live TV: CBS

BetGuardian

The final game of the regular season will take place at the United Center, where the Badgers and the Buckeyes are going to be involved in a tremendous game. Ohio State has allowed just over 54 points per game in its last seven games, all of which have been wins. Wisconsin is holding teams down to just 56.1 points per game on the season, including holding four straight to 60 points or fewer. The only difference between these two teams is that the Buckeyes have a couple tremendous players. Ohio State knows that F Deshaun Thomas is going to be good for at least 15-20 points in this one, and that’s something that the Badgers just don’t have. Wisconsin doesn’t have a player on its roster that averages more than 11.4 points per game this season. We also don’t trust the Badgers shooting free throws with a game on the line, as they are only knocking down 63.5 percent of their efforts from the charity stripe. Ohio State is just playing too well right now to be beaten, and it is going to be hungry to avenge a loss to the Badgers from a month ago, the last loss that the team has suffered.

Wisconsin vs. Ohio State Pick: Ohio State Buckeyes
Big Ten Tournament Final Predictions: Ohio State 59 – Wisconsin 57

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Sunday night. The Saint Louis Billikens and VCU Rams will have it the Atlantic 10 Tournament Finals, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on CBS.

Atlantic 10 Tournament Finals Picks: VCU Rams vs. Saint Louis Billikens
Date: Sunday, March 17th, 1:00 ET
Location: Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY
VCU vs. Saint Louis Live TV: CBS

The first time the Rams and the Billikens met this year, HAVOC had a real problem. VCU only forced eight turnovers in that game, and that nearly isn’t going to be good enough to win this game. It’s going to take at least 15 turnovers forced in this one for Head Coach Shaka Smart and the gang to win this game in all likelihood. The Rams caused 22 turnovers by the Massachusetts Minutemen on Saturday, and they are going to try to do the same thing in this one. Saint Louis has really made it through the Atlantic 10 season without all that much in the way of hassles. The Billikens could be all the way up to a No. 4 seed in the dance if they can win this game. Saint Louis is going to want to slow this game down and make it a half-court game, something that it was able to do when these two teams met the first time around. However, if the Rams are able to get the tempo going, this could be a dangerous spot. We really love the look of the Rams and the way that they are playing. This is a team that feels like it is going to be poised for a deep run in March, and this is going to be the first game of many in which the team could come up with a big effort.

VCU vs. Saint Louis Pick: VCU Rams
Atlantic 10 Finals Prediction: VCU 68 – Saint Louis 62

CappersInfo is back with its North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Miami Hurricanes picks and predictions, as we look to give you all of the college basketball advice and tips that you need to beat your online sportsbook for this crucial Sunday night tilt.

ACC Tournament Picks: North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Miami Hurricanes
Date: Sunday, March 17th, 1:00 ET
Location: Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, NC
North Carolina vs. Miami Live TV: ESPN

GT Bets Banner

The Hurricanes have put forth two very good efforts here in the ACC Tournament, and many think that they are going to roll to the ACC title and perhaps to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. G Shane Larkin is now up to averaging 14.2 points per game this year after his 23-point effort against the NC State Wolfpack on Saturday. F Durant Scott put up 32 points as well. This North Carolina team though, really looks like a tremendous team in the ACC. The Heels have a very talented six players on their team that are in this rotation. F James Michael McAdoo has had a pair of great efforts, while G PJ Hairston has continued to knock down shots from the outside. The pace of this game is what we are really interested in. The Hurricanes are going to have to dominate this game in the paint, because if they don’t, they are going to get run right off of the court. Head Coach Roy Williams knows that he has to push the tempo of this one, and if the home court advantage proves to be the edge for the Heels, they’ll be able to avenge a pair of losses this season to Miami.

North Carolina vs. Miami Pick: North Carolina Tar Heels
ACC Final Prediction: North Carolina 76 – Miami 69

Our official Ole Miss Rebels vs. Florida Gators pick is here at Cappers Info, as two great teams get set to square off on the college basketball odds. Join us for all of the great NCAA basketball predictions for what should be another great game on the college basketball schedule tonight!

SEC Tournament Final Picks: Ole Miss Rebels vs. Florida Gators
Date: Sunday, March 17th, 1:00 ET
Location: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, TN
Ole Miss vs. Florida Live TV: ABC

BetGuardian

The Rebels have probably done enough to get into the NCAA Tournament at this point, and we don’t really think that they are going to be in any trouble even if they lose this game by 30. Of course, winning this game will keep them from going to Dayton on Tuesday or Wednesday, whereas a loss is probably going to send the team to the First Four. Ole Miss really hasn’t had all that much success against the best teams in the conference, and this is going to be another one of these problematic games. The Gators could be playing for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament if they can figure out how to win this one. They didn’t play a great first half against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday, but they ultimately pulled away in the second half and put the game out of reach. This Florida outfit is one of the deepest teams in the nation now that it is healthy, and its eight players are playing at a very high level. The defense for the Gators should be able to take care of the Rebels in this one, and there is no way that this game is going to be closer than double digits.

Ole Miss vs. Florida Pick: Florida Gators
SEC Tournament Final Predictions: Florida 73 – Ole Miss 59

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Saturday night. The Pacific Tigers and UC Irvine Anteaters will have it the Big West Tournament Finals, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN2.

Big West Tournament Finals Picks: UC Irvine Anteaters vs. Pacific Tigers
Date: Saturday, March 16th, 10:30 ET
Location: Honda Center, Anaheim, CA
UC Irvine vs. Pacific Live TV: ESPN2

For those of you filling out your brackets this coming week, you have to love the idea of backing a team named the Anteaters. Of course, that’s not nearly why we like UC Irvine to make it to the dance, but it’s notable that this would immediately be the coolest nickname of the 68 teams in the field. The difference here truly is simple. Look at the men in the rotation for Pacific. You’ll see a ton of men who are 6’2″-6’5″. There’s a reason why this team is only just barely outrebounding its foes this year and why it is losing the rebounding battle in more of its Big West games than it is winning. No one is averaging more than 3.8 rebounds or 0.5 blocks per game, and that isn’t going to cut it. It’s the third day of a brutal tournament, and legs are tired. Natural height has to help grab some of those loose balls, and odds have it, there will be more missed shots due to fatigue as well. UC Irvine has some bigs out of the lineup, but it also has a team that has a +5.7 rebounding advantage on a nightly basis. The Anteaters were the last team to hand Pacific a loss in conference play, and they’re going to be the ones that strap on their dancing shoes when the night is over with in Anaheim as well.

UC Irvine vs. Pacific Pick: UC Irvine Anteaters
Big West Finals Prediction: UC Irvine 64 – Pacific 60

CappersInfo is back with its Texas Arlington Mavericks vs. New Mexico State Aggies picks and predictions, as we look to give you all of the college basketball advice and tips that you need to beat your online sportsbook for this crucial Saturday night tilt.

WAC Tournament Picks: Texas Arlington Mavericks vs. New Mexico State Aggies
Date: Saturday, March 16th, 11:00 ET
Location: Orleans Arena, Las Vegas, NV
Texas Arlington vs. New Mexico State Live TV: ESPNU

GT Bets Banner

The oddsmakers might be making a crucial mistake by giving too much respect to the Aggies in this spot in the WAC Final. Make no mistake about this: New Mexico State is a great team, and it was probably either the best or the second best team in the WAC at the outset of this season. However, losing C Tshilidzi Nephawe to a hand injury and now F Tyrone Watson to an ankle injury really has crushed this team. We tend to think that the only reason that NMSU is still in this tournament is because the two foes that it has faced have both been lousy teams that only won 12 games apiece this whole season. Meanwhile, Texas Arlington is starting to hit its stride. It hasn’t played a great schedule to get to this point in the season either, but the oddsmakers knew that this was a distinct possibility. The Mavericks were only +2.5 against the Utah State Aggies, who were one of the favorites to capture this league title. New Mexico State won the last meeting of these two teams by just three points when it was favored by 9.5, and it was trounced back in December in Arlington. It just doesn’t seem to be a pretty spot for the Aggies to be laying points. We know that the points could be crucial in this one. We’ll hope for the upset, but know that we have a buffer if we’re wrong.

Texas Arlington vs. New Mexico State Pick: Texas Arlington Mavericks
WAC Final Prediction: Texas Arlington 71 – New Mexico State 67

Our official Oregon Ducks vs. UCLA Bruins pick is here at Cappers Info, as two great teams get set to square off on the college basketball odds. Join us for all of the great NCAA basketball predictions for what should be another great game on the college basketball schedule tonight!

Pac-12 Tournament Final Picks: Oregon Ducks vs. UCLA Bruins
Date: Saturday, March 16th, 11:00 ET
Location: MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas, NV
Oregon vs. UCLA Live TV: ESPN

BetGuardian

The Pac-12 Tournament has been intense, as there have been a few wild overtime games and some great finishes to see. Unfortunately, we really don’t think that the final is going to be a game for the ages. The Ducks have made a nice little run here over the course of the last few days, but we just don’t see how beating the Washington Huskies and the Utah Utes has prepared them for playing in this game. They have gotten by in spite of the fact that they really haven’t gotten all that much out of their starting point guard, G Dominic Artis, and they haven’t played a game against a team of this quality in quite some time. UCLA meanwhile, is battle-tested, having knocked the Arizona State Sun Devils off of the bubble and the Arizona Wildcats out in the semifinals. G Shabazz Muhammad and the gang are having a great tournament offensively, and all of a sudden, UCLA is ranked 28th in the land in total offense at 74.9 points per game. This is a team that we are building an affinity for, and we think that not only are the Bruins going to win this game, but we think that this could be the beginning of a nice run in the dance as well.

Oregon vs. UCLA Pick: UCLA Bruins
Pac-12 Tournament Final Predictions: UCLA 69 – Oregon 63

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Saturday night. The New Mexico Lobos and UNLV Runnin’ Rebels will have it the MWC Tournament Finals, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on CBS.

MWC Tournament Finals Picks: UNLV Runnin’ Rebels vs. New Mexico Lobos
Date: Saturday, March 16th, 6:00 ET
Location: Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas, NV
UNLV vs. New Mexico Live TV: CBS

There are three conference tournament crowns that will be handed out in Las Vegas on Saturday, but this is certainly the most illustrious of the three honors. The Lobos and the Runnin’ Rebels are both certainly going to be in the Top 4 lines on the bracket this year, and they could be matched together in the West Region as well. The Lobos are going to have to get on the glass in a big time way if they are going to take down UNLV. The Rebels were able to really slow down a big-dominated set of Colorado State Rams on Friday night, and they did so by getting a great effort out of freshman F Anthony Bennett. Head Coach Steve Alford has a fantastic team, but he also has a club that really isn’t all that deep. Playing two games in two nights against San Diego State and UNLV really isn’t a recipe for success, especially knowing that this second game is a de facto road game. Put this one in the Pit, and we might have a different story on our hands. At the Thomas & Mack though, this game belongs to UNLV.

UNLV vs. New Mexico Pick: UNLV Runnin’ Rebels
MWC Finals Prediction: UNLV 68 – New Mexico 64

CappersInfo is back with its Weber State Wildcats vs. Montana Grizzlies picks and predictions, as we look to give you all of the college basketball advice and tips that you need to beat your online sportsbook for this crucial Saturday night tilt.

Big Sky Tournament Picks: Weber State Wildcats vs. Montana Grizzlies
Date: Saturday, March 16th, 9:00 ET
Location: Dahlberg Arena, Missoula, MT
Weber State vs. Montana Live TV: ESPNU

GT Bets Banner

One quick glance at these two teams, and you would have to think that this is a game that gives the advantage to the Grizzlies. They have the home court advantage, and they went 19-1 this year in conference play (20-1 if you include their first round tourney win over the Northern Colorado Bears). These two teams both posted victories on their own home court against the other this year as well. However, there was a tremendous degree of difference between Montana’s two point win on this court and Weber State’s 24 point win when these teams met in Logan. The shooters for the Wildcats are just out of this world, and they have scored at least 76 points in three out of four games. Even on the road, Weber State has posted at least 70 points in four straight efforts dating back to the beginning of February, and we think that it has another big time game in it. Without F Mathias Ward, Montana is nothing more than a very good team. Can the Grizzlies win this game? Certainly. It’s going to be a great effort from start to finish. However, after watching Montana celebrate a bid to the dance last year at Weber State’s expense on this very same court, we just don’t see how the Wildcats are going to pass up this opportunity to get a big time ‘W’ for the program.

Weber State vs. Montana Pick: Weber State Wildcats
Big Sky Final Prediction: Weber State 76 – Montana 68

Our official Syracuse Orange vs. Louisville Cardinals pick is here at Cappers Info, as two great teams get set to square off on the college basketball odds. Join us for all of the great NCAA basketball predictions for what should be another great game on the college basketball schedule tonight!

Big East Tournament Semifinals Picks: Syracuse Orange vs. Louisville Cardinals
Date: Saturday, March 16th, 8:30 ET
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
Syracuse vs. Louisville Live TV: ESPN

BetGuardian

If there were ever a place for some magic to happen in college basketball, Madison Square Garden would be that place. Louisville is a team that looks like the equivalent of the Big Bad Wolf of the Big East, taking down four straight games by at least a dozen points and rumbling to six straight covers. Syracuse is the sloppy team that more or less has gritted its way to three wins in as many days to reach the final. It’s so tough to win the Big East Tournament when having to play more than just in the quarters, semis, and the finale, but the Orange are going to try to do just that. They’re going to need more offense out of G Michael Carter-Williams, and F CJ Fair is going to have to learn when to shoot the ball and when to not take such ill-advised shots. The rest of it is literally going to have to be some MSG magic. We saw some of it with the gritty defense that the Orange showed against the Georgetown Hoyas on Friday night, and we might just see it again this time around versus the Cards. This has the feeling of one of these games that will come down the wire and perhaps go to overtime, maybe even a few of them. We want the points on our side, and we really believe that the Orange are going to find some way to pull this one off outright as well.

Syracuse vs. Louisville Pick: Syracuse Orange
Big East Tournament Semifinals Predictions: Syracuse 73 – Louisville 72

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Saturday night. The Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas State Wildcats will have it the Big XII Tournament Finals, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN.

Big XII Tournament Finals Picks: Kansas State Wildcats vs. Kansas Jayhawks
Date: Saturday, March 16th, 6:00 ET
Location: Sprint Center, Kansas City, MO
Kansas State vs. Kansas Live TV: ESPN

Kansas State and Kansas are arch rivals that hate each other. Both are going to be high seeds in the NCAA Tournament, and both have to think that they have a great shot of claiming the Big XII title on Saturday. The only problem for the men in purple is that they are severely outclassed in this series, and it is just a bad matchup all around. The Cats are going to be a dangerous team in the NCAA Tournament because they can stroke the three ball and have a lot of guards that can handle the basketball. That’s all fine a dandy, but the problem is that there is no one to rebound. That will work against some teams, but against C Jeff Withey and the Jayhawks, it just isn’t going to work. G Angel Rodriguez is going to have to have an incredibly efficient game, and for a man that is barely shooting 37% from the field for the year, that’s a difficult task. All of the guards for the Jayhawks are good enough to stick around with Rodriguez and G Rodney McGruder anyway, but the addition of Withey and the rest of the lanky men on the inside is just too much for KSU to overcome. The Wildcats just don’t have the goods here to hang with Kansas, and for the third time this year, the Jayhawks will rule the day.

Kansas State vs. Kansas Pick: Kansas Jayhawks
Big XII Finals Prediction: Kansas 70 – Kansas State 61

CappersInfo is back with its Ohio Bobcats vs. Akron Zips picks and predictions, as we look to give you all of the college basketball advice and tips that you need to beat your online sportsbook for this crucial Saturday night tilt.

MAC Tournament Picks: Ohio Bobcats vs. Akron Zips
Date: Saturday, March 16th, 6:30 ET
Location: Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, OH
Ohio vs. Akron Live TV: ESPN2

GT Bets Banner

There are few games in the mid-major realm that have our attention as much as the MAC Final does between Akron and Ohio. These two teams absolutely hate each other’s guts, and it shows every time they are on the court together. The two played to overtime just a few weeks ago, a game that the Zips won in overtime to extend their winning streak to 19 games. However, a stroke of misfortune has overcome Akron in the loss of G Alex Abreu, presumably for the rest of the season after he was picked up for drug trafficking. Now, there really is no hope for the Zips to pull off upsets in the NCAA Tournament, even if they get there. Teams have to have guard play at this level. Ohio has it with G DJ Cooper, G Nick Kellogg, and G Walter Offutt, all of which have to thrilled that they don’t have to chase around Abreu in this one. We do have a tiny fear that the Zips are going to hit the glass hard and outrebound Ohio to death, but in the end, someone has to maintain the basketball and knock down some shots from the outside. The Bobcats have it. Akron doesn’t. The Bobcats are going to go dancing and get some big time revenge on their hated foes in the process.

Ohio vs. Akron Pick: Ohio Bobcats
MAC Final Prediction: Ohio 72 – Akron 63
