Alabama has had a phenomenal season, even amidst all of the added drama from the Brandon Miller situation. Regardless of how anyone feels about all of that, the Crimson Tide received a #1 seed in the South region, and deservedly so. Can anyone keep this squad from reaching the Final Four?
Will any Cinderella teams come out of the South Region in this year's NCAA Tournament? Check out our preview, which includes 3 best bets to make the Sweet 16. Best of luck with all of your action!
The Wildcats were unable to finish their Pac-12 conference tourney run when they ran into rival UCLA. While this play is juicier than our others, it is because they have been given the easiest road to the Sweet 16 of all the 2 seeds.
Princeton will not be able to hang with this squad, and the 14.5-point spread indicates the same. Next, they will face the winner of Missouri and Utah State.
Again, neither of these teams can hang with the Cats. They should have 2 easy games this week, which makes this -200 a must-play. We don't often advocate plays with this much juice, but 'Zona is worth it.
Virginia may be one of, if not the, most boring teams to watch in the country. Tony Bennett still has his team playing stout defense, but he's not found a strong offensive weapon this season.
They are top 25 in adjusted defensive efficiency, which will be what causes Furman a ton of issues in the 1st matchup. They will then get San Diego State or Charleston if they are able to pull off the upset.
The boring ball will also cause this Charleston/SDST potential to meet serious offensive issues. While it seems most of the country loves Charleston for this upset, they will be a much better matchup for Virginia here.
The Wolfpack are an 11 seed with a top 40 offense and top 100 defense. While those numbers are not super impressive, they are good enough to make a 5 to 1 play here value worthy.
Creighton has been up and down all year and will hopefully be the 1st victim of this Wolfpack. Baylor is likely to be their next opponent, and their lack of defense will be what NCST will have the ability to expose.
It’s a long shot, but they are the 11 seed we have the most faith in this season. Give us the Pack at the big number!
