Rotation #521-522
Indiana -6.5 over Michigan
Michigan played in a thriller yesterday which went 5 extra minutes to decide a winner. Indiana is just too good on offense and over the course of 40 minutes will pull away with scoring waves that Michigan just can’t keep up with. Indiana is playing as well as we have seen at this current point and I don’t expect them to slip up today. Michigan is a bubble team that probably won’t be dancing without a win today. Typically bubble teams play their way out of things which is why they are bubble teams to begin with. Take Indiana.

Rotation #539-540
Cincinnati PK over UConn
Here we have another bubble team in UConn that needs a win today. Cincinnati has won two close meetings already this season by being the more physical team. Teams that are on the bubble usually don’t have the ability to play loose. This should be a great game, but in the end the Bearcats will win on the glass and pull out another close victory. Take Cincinnati.

Rotation #563-564
Virginia -5 over Miami
Last night Miami looked like they didn’t have their legs under them against a Virginia Tech team they should have dominated. Miami was able to win the game by going on a hot shooting streak which is not going to happen today. In matchups against Virginia you are going to have to grind your way to wins. Virginia should play solid defense and have no trouble getting to the foul line to impose their will on Miami tonight. Take Virginia.

Rotation #565-566
Providence +9 over Villanova
I know the eyeball test is different for everybody, but there is something about Nova that just doesn’t make me think they are a top 5 team. Providence on the other hand is peaking at the right time and really lighting up the scoreboard. This is a team that has flown under the radar and in 48 hours could be Big East Champs. This should be the best game of the day which i think comes down to the last second. Take Providence.

Rotation #567-568
Xavier -2.5 over Seton Hall
Xavier is looking for the overall #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and I think are deserving. These teams split the regular season games, but I don’t know if Seton Hall is ready to win these types of big games on neutral courts being that they are so young. This Big East Conference has a lot of talent this year. Xavier is as hot as you can be shooting the ball right now and should get another great offensive output getting them one step closer to the Big East Title and #1 overall seed. Take Xavier.
