NCAA Tourney Gambling Picks For Saturday

Published|Updated

Wow, I'm just back from watching UMBC blow out Virginia and I'm truly stunned by what we all just witnessed. Not simply the fact that Virginia, the overall number one seed in the tournament, lost to UMBC, the overall worst 16 seed in the tournament, but that they got blown out, losing by twenty points. Effectively the entire second half was just a complete beatdown.

What a remarkable way to finish off the first two days of the tournament.

Here was my live Periscope from Vegas discussing the Virginia loss.







Our record through the first 32 games is a pedestrian 16-15-1, 7-9 on Friday after a 9-6-1 day on Thursday. Given what we just saw happen with UMBC and Virginia I feel like predicting anything in this year's tournament is going to be virtually impossible.

But is that going to stop me from going 8-0 tomorrow? Nope. The Vols are our blood bank.

So here we go:

Rhode Island +9.5 vs. Duke

Villanova -11 vs. Alabama

Kansas -4.5 vs. Seton Hall

Michigan -3 vs. Houston

Tennessee -5 vs. Loyola of Chicago

Florida +2 vs. Texas Tech

Gonzaga -3.5 vs. Ohio State

Kentucky -5.5 vs. Buffalo
