Best NCAA Basketball Picks and Predictions March 11
Boston University Terriers vs. Lehigh Mountain Hawks NCAA Basketball Picks
Best Bet: Lehigh +2 (-110) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook
We are backing the Mountain Hawks to earn their ticket to the Big Dance in the Patriot League Championship today. They already beat this Boston University team twice this season, both in very close games. Lehigh won as 4.5 point underdogs on the road in overtime, then again by three as 2.5 point underdogs at home just a few games ago. They have now won five straight and despite it being tough to beat a team three times in a season (it is), I have faith in them getting the job done.
Catching two points is always a good sign in a conference championship, and with Boston squeaking by Navy in the semifinals, I'm not sure I would trust them in what should be a very competitive game.
Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. Clemson Tigers NCAA Basketball Picks
Dillon Hunter and Clemson will try to make a run in the ACC Tournament
Best Bets: Clemson -5.5 (-110) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook
The Tigers open up their ACC Tournament campaign against the Demon Deacons in a unique spot. Not only are the Clemson Tigers looking for revenge after losing to Wake Forest by eight at home as 4.5 point favorites about a month ago, but they also get the Demon Deacons the day after they played an extra five minutes against Virginia Tech.
Wake Forest will have tired legs, which is horrible when facing a Clemson team that will… 1) Make you play defense for the entire shot clock on every single possession, and 2) Get in your grill defensively, making it very difficult to run your offense. Ultimately, I think the Tigers are quite simply the better team, and although they lost at home to this team, the spread is actually up a point. I believe that's telling and will be backing the Tigers tonight in the ACC tournament.
West Virginia Mountaineers vs. BYU Cougars NCAA Basketball Picks
AJ Dybantsa dropped 40 points last night against Kansas State
Best Bet: West Virginia/BYU Over 142.5 (-110) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook
Did you watch BYU's game last night? They don't play a lick of defense. But at least they have AJ Dybantsa. He put up 40 points last night, and yes, it was only against the Kansas State Wildcats, but they allowed that team to score 91! West Virginia will try their best to slow this game down, but BYU is already familiar with the rims. They'll be able to knock down their shots, and naturally they will force plenty of possessions as well.
As for the Mountaineer's offense, they have been frisky from time to time, especially if their shots from deep are falling. Overall, I have very little faith in the Cougars' defense to actually contain any offense they face, and we saw that in their first meeting. In Morgantown, we had a total soar over the 141.5 mark, as West Virginia put up 79 points of their own to hand the Cougars a loss down the stretch.
I see this being a fast-paced, offensive game where BYU dares the Mountaineers to try and keep up with them in a shootout.
