    Analysis

    It's been a rough last few days of picks after a hot streak last week, so time to turn things around. Oregon's Dana Altman is a fantastic tournament coach - I saw it firsthand in Las Vegas more than a few times for the Pac-12 Tournament. His team has stunk this season but has covered in 4 of their last 5 games, while Maryland has lost their last four games outright. The Ducks won by 10 in this matchup on the road in January and I expect at least a 5+ point victory in Chicago on Tuesday.

    Picked: Mar 10 @ 12:39pm

    Analysis

    Maryland redshirt freshman Andre Mills has scored 119 points over the past six games, giving the Terps some late-season hope. They remain terrible defensively, but the depleted Ducks shouldn’t be laying this many points at a neutral site. Look for a tight game if not an outright upset.

    Picked: Mar 10 @ 1:24pm

    Analysis

    Maryland and Oregon play the first game of the Big Ten conference tournament at the United Center in Chicago. These are two of the bottom three teams in the conference, with Oregon winning five conference games and Maryland only four games. Oregon covered only 12 games on the year, and Maryland 14. Oregon has won the last two meetings over the last two seasons. Maryland's highlight over the last month was winning at Minnesota, beating Iowa and Washington while covering six of their last nine games. Neither team shoots very well. I'm going to take the points. Maryland to cover.

    CINCY -10.5
    -110
    Spread
    LOSS
    Picked: Mar 9 @ 9:51pm

    Analysis

    Cincinnati has won its last two meetings with Utah, and the Utes are on a five-game losing streak and didn't cover any of them. Just 10 wins on the season and 13 covers. Meanwhile, Cincinnati has won six of its last eight, including wins against BYU and Kansas as 8.5-point dogs. They beat Utah on February 15th, but they didn't cover the 12.5-point spread. My reason for liking Cincinnati to cover the spread is that they're on the brink of not making the tournament, forecasted to be one of the last eight teams out. Cincinnati's defense will see what is in store for them and take control of this moment. Cincinnati to cover.

    Picked: Mar 10 @ 12:15pm

    Analysis

    The first round of the ACC Tournament from Charlotte begins today with Pittsburgh and Stanford, and Stanford's only a 4.5-point favorite. Pittsburgh only had 12 wins on the season, and Stanford had 20, as well as a Stanford 75-67 win on February 25th. Stanford comes in hot, winning and covering their last four games. All four of those games went over the total, which is something to look at today as well. Stanford is forecasted to be one of the last four out, so their mission is to go as far as they can in this tournament. Stanford to cover.
