As March Madness keeps rolling along, the conference tournaments are now in the thick of things. What a time to be alive! Now we reach the part of the big conference tournaments where the teams that rested on a bye must be ready for the teams that have reeled off 1 or 2 wins to start their tournaments. We will see some upsets today!
Coming off back-to-back profitable nights, let's keep things rolling! Last article, both of our picks missed at the end of their respective games. We were so close to a sweep. Let’s get those back today and add to your bankrolls!
Can George Mason Stay Hot?
The Patriots have won 3 straight vs George Washington, and they have been rolling! They are 16-1 in their last 17 games as a favorite and have won 14 of their last 16 games overall. The Patriots were also 15-3 in conference compared to just 9-9 for George Washington.
The Patriots are 24-7 on the season and have been locked in on defense all season. Their defense ranks 3rd in the country in effective FG%, holding teams to a 44% shooting average. They also rank 12th in points allowed at 63 and are the more efficient team on the offensive side of the ball. The models have George Mason winning by 2.5 and 3, I’ll ride the ML!
No Cooper Flagg?
UNC burned me in the final game of the regular season, failing to cover +11 against this Duke squad, squandering it away late. Now, I assume without Cooper Flagg, and UNC looking to put up a better fight, I will back them in this rivalry matchup once more. UNC is quietly 5-1 against the spread in their last 6 games against top 25 scoring defenses.
Their defense has also been locked in for most of the last 9 games. They have covered this line in 8 of those 9, the one miss being that game against Duke. In those 8 games, they allowed an average of just 69 points, they allowed Duke to reach 82. Without Flagg, I definitely believe they can hold Duke in the 70’s and keep this within 8!
Best Bets:
1.5% George Mason ML (-140)
1.5% North Carolina +8.5 (-120)
