Favorites are in bold
Washington State Cougars vs Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves in Anchorage, Sullivan Arena
Spread: 10.5
Pick: Washington State Cougars
I am not sure what division A-A Seawolves play in, but it ain't D-I. Only a 10.5 point favorite? I know its a long flight and a home game, but WSU should roll. Cougars win 72-52.
Duke Blue Devils vs Arizona State Sun Devils in New York, Madison Square Garden
Spread: 9
Pick: Duke Blue Devils
Duke has looked tough in the early going and should pull this one out in the end. It may stay close because of Arizona State's style of play, but in the end the loss of Harden and Pendergraph will be too much for the Sun Devils. Duke wins at MSG 79-65.
Gonzaga Bulldogs vs Cincinnati Bearcats in Maui, Lahaina Civic Center
Spread: 1.5
Pick: Cincinnati Bearcats
The Bearcats are back. They have dominated this tournament to date beating down two ranked opponents in Vanderbilt and Maryland by double digits. Gonzaga always worries me because they are well coached and disciplined, but Cincy has the horses inside and the shooters outside which will be too much for the Bulldogs. Watch out Big East, Cincinnati is for real. Take the points, but UC wins 72-58.
Virginia Cavaliers vs Cleveland State VIkings in Cancun, Moon Palace Resort
Spread: 3
Pick: Virginia Cavaliers
Unfortunately the departure of J'Nathan Bullock has hurt Cleveland State in the early going. The will be back as they have a good young team and a great coach. Today, though, that will not help. UVa is not great, but they have enough firepower to beat an undermanned CSU team. Lay the points, Cavaliers win 85-58.
