Picks for Best Games on Monday, March 11th
The regular season is over and tonight will be the beginning of Selection week, which is when the majority of the conference championship games will be played. Tonight’s games should be madness, hopefully I am able to make sense of it with my against the spread picks.
Wofford vs. UNC Greensboro
7 PM ET on ESPN
Line: Wofford -7
Pick: Wofford
Against the Spread: Wofford
Final Score Prediction: Wofford 89 UNC Greensboro 76
Why this pick? The Terriers are rolling and have beat UNCG by a lot this year, I’ll take Wofford here.
Green Bay vs. Wright State
7 PM ET on ESPNU
Line: Wright State -5.5
Pick: Wright State
Against the Spread: Green Bay
Final Score Prediction: Wright State 74 Green Bay 70
Why this pick? This game will be close, so asking Wright State to win by 6 could be hard.
Monmouth vs. Iona
9 PM ET on ESPN2
Line: Iona -4.5
Pick: Iona
Against the Spread: Iona
Final Score Prediction: Iona
Why this pick? Death. Taxes. Tim Cluess in the MAAC Championship game.
Pepperdine vs. Gonzaga
9 PM ET on ESPN
Line: Gonzaga -23.5
Pick: Gonzaga
Against the Spread: Gonzaga
Final Score Prediction: Gonzaga 98 Pepperdine 65
Why this pick? I assume Gonzaga comes out and plays well in this game, likely winning handily.
Oakland vs. Northern Kentucky
9:30 PM ET on ESPNU
Line: Northern Kentucky -5.5
Pick: Northern Kentucky
Against the Spread: Oakland
Final Score Prediction: Northern Kentucky 76 Oakland 73
Why this pick? Asking Northern Kentucky to win by 6 in an essential road game is hard.
San Diego vs. St. Mary’s
11:30 PM ET on ESPN2
Line: St. Mary’s -5
Pick: St. Mary’s
Against the Spread: St. Mary’s
Final Score Prediction: St. Mary’s 78 San Diego 67
Why this pick? I am not the biggest Gaels fan but I definitely think they deserve to be more than five point favorites in this game.
