Strike Point Sports Picks For College Basketball
Friday's College Basketball Plays
8-Unit Play. #843 Take St. Mary's PK over Miami (12:30 pm)
This Gaels team is really intruiging, and a dark horse to make it into the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. But first they'll take care of the Hurricanes. St. Mary's has a much more balanced team, boasting the likes of point guard Patrick Mills, Diamon Simpson and sharpshooter Todd Golden. I think Miami has become reluctant and too reliable on Jack McClinton. Their bigs are foul prone, and I just think this match-up really favors the WCC rep. It will be the ten seed that advances, and let me just say I think they'll get Texas fits all day as well. This one goes to St. Mary's, play them here.
4-Unit Play. UT-Arlington/Memphis Over 142 (9:55 pm)
UT-Arlington can score, and the top seeded Tigers can score even more. I think this number is way too low, and both will play in the 70s to say the least. The No. 16 Mavericks have either scored or allowed 80 or more in three of their last four games, and in this one Memphis will strike for an 80+ point effort. UT-Arlington can make up for the difference, but either way, this one goes over the number.
