.edbarkowitz looks at the odds of the final eight games of the weekend, with a couple of picks included just for giggles.
Among Sunday’s highlights are Villanova trying to get back to the Sweet 16, a coaching matchup that has CBS salivating and the final spot for the East Regional semifinals being decided.
Here’s a look at the final eight games of the weekend, with a couple of picks included just for giggles.Houston has won 10 of its last 11, going 9-2 against the spread during the run. Explains why this is a moderately large line for a game between 4-5 seeds. And the Cougars are the No. 5. What’s more impressive is that Houston replaced all five starters from last year’s Final Four team. Last five against the spread: Houston 4-1, Illinois 1-4. Pick: Houston laying 4.5.
Still can’t get over that Iowa State was 2-22 last year. Yeah, there were a ton of mitigating factors, but to go from two wins one year to the brink of the Sweet 16 is remarkable. This feels like it could be a rock fight, so stay away from the over. Last five ATS: Wisconsin 2-3, Iowa St. 3-2.A little more than two weeks ago, Texas Tech held Iowa State to 41 points. On Friday, they held Montana State to 25 in the first half in what deteriorated into 97-62 rout.
