Free Pick: Butler vs. Syracuse Under 138 (Jeff Alexander)
Right away I like the fact that plays Under on all teams where the total is between 130 and 139.5 points (SYRACUSE), an explosive offensive team (>=76 PPG), against an average offensive team (67-74 PPG), after 15+ games, and after 2 straight wins by 15 points or more, are 35-14 since 1997. And we are only seeing an average of 130.6 points scored in these spots. Butler knows it must take the air out of the ball to hang with Syracuse tonight. Expect a slow pace in this one to result in the Under.

Free Pick: West Virginia -4 (JR O’Donnell)
Jr O backing the Neers tonight as we feel that the Wash Huskies will be the public darlings tonight with the run and gun style, Not Jr O’s camp, The Neers own huge edges in the catogories that count, defence, rebounding and turnovers. Jr o’s camp has Mounties hounding the Huskies and they will keep the Huskies in the high 50’s to 60’s tonight, Another Huge gut play here as Huggins crew is 10-2- 1 the last 13 touney games. The lines are razor sharp boys & we have 2 great teams humming right now!, Washington’s love has comes from Wvu’s Truck Bryant’s injury and Mazzilla will do the job with his experience and floor leadership!!

Free Pick: Xavier +5 (Craig Trapp)
Make sure you search around to find this number as its out their. This one is going to be much closer than the first match early in the season. Since that game XU has started playing a much smaller lineup and it has been super successful. Don’t forget that game was at K State where they are almost unbeatable. Jordan Crawford is the best player on the court and he will go for 25 plus again keeping Xavier close all game. K State played great the first two games but both of those games were match up nightmares for their opponents. Today XU will not have that problem and will show why they are so good ATS 7-3 L10!
