NCAA-B | Xavier vs Arizona
Play on: Xavier +7½ -110 at betonline

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach's Free Pick for Thursday is below. This is the latest of 3 CBB picks he has Thursday and the other two picks are on the two early games and both are star rated picks. The Bulldog also has 2 star rated picks in NBA and 3 star rated picks in NHL Thursday. Join in with one of the TOP RANKED CAPPERS in 2017! Rickenbach is on an all sports run that has netted $38,000 in profits since Dec. 30th! Onto Thursday's Free Pick:

Rickenbach CBB Thursday Free Pick: Xavier Musketeers (+) vs Arizona Wildcats @ 10:05 ET - Arizona getting a lot of respect from the odds makers here but I look for the "revenge minded nothing to lose" Musketeers to give them a tremendous battle here. Xavier lost to the Wildcats two years ago in a similar spot in the Big Dance and they'll be seeking payback tonight and certainly have been a dangerous team in tournament settings. In fact, the Musketeers are 18-6 ATS in all tournament games the last 3 seasons combined. Also, Xavier is a long-term 24-9 ATS in NCAA tournament games. Arizona is currently on a red-hot ATS run but they are 0-3 ATS against Big East teams the past 3 seasons. Also, the Wildcats are still on a 2-4 ATS run in NCAA Tourney games the last 3 seasons combined. The Musketeers are on a red hot ATS run and should make it 7 in a row here. They've played a slightly tougher schedule than Arizona on the season and they also faced tougher competition here in the Big Dance to reach this point. The battle-hardened Musketeers benefit from that right here, right now! Free Pick on Xavier plus the big points in late night action Thursday. Best of luck always, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

NBA | Suns vs Nets
Play on: Suns +4 -105 at 5Dimes

Nets win a game and all the sudden they are favorites. Seems like a great auto fade chance for me. Yes the Suns haven't been playing great, but I doubt the Nets are very much interested in this game tonight. With the Suns on a long east coast trip this is obviously the one game I see them winning outright. Nets have been a terrible home team just 4-15 ATS L19 home games. Suns are 4-0 ATS L4 road games vs team with a losing home record.

NCAA-B | Michigan vs Oregon
Play on: Oregon +1½ -105 at Bovada

Oregon (814) over Michigan @ 7:05 Eastern

Taking upstart Ducks in another major tourney thriller over a Michigan club that could be a little spent after a run of seven straight wins, including Oklahoma State and Louisville. For Oregon this encounter has added importance since Michigan won at Oregon in 2014. Tknight should be a game about pace, and the unit that wins TOP will survive. With Michigan 1-3-1 ATS vs. PAC-12, and Oregon 5-1 ATS as an NCAA underdog, check the DUCKS!

NCAA-B | West Virginia vs Gonzaga
Play on: West Virginia +3½ -101 at 5Dimes

This game should be closer to a PK in my eyes. The Zags were very lucky last game to have a missed goal tending call followed up by a technical or else that was a 3 point game with 4 minutes left and Northwestern has all the momentum. When NW really picked up the pressure it really bothered the Zags big time. Well now they face a team that will press you the whole game. West Virginia took care of business against Notre Dame and they have one of the best back courts as a whole in college basketball. West Virginia will really get to Gonzaga here I believe they win outright.

NCAA-B | Purdue vs Kansas
Play on: Kansas -5 -108 at betonline

Free Pick on Kansas -

I just don't think this Jayhawks team gets the respect they deserve and like the value we are getting here with only needing them to win by 6 points to cover. Purdue is a great team and I had them making the Sweet 16, but this is where they are going to be outmatched by a much more athletic and faster Kansas team. The Jayhawks will be able to matchup and contain the Boilermakers most important player in Swanigan and without a big game from him Purdue is in trouble. Keep in mind that it's Kansas who is the odds on favorite to win the tournament right now. The Jayhawks are also 20-9 ATS in their last 29 road games after 2 or more consecutive win. Note that while this is officially a road game for KU, it's going to feel like a home game with the game being played in Kansas City. Take Kansas!

NCAA-B | Purdue vs Kansas
Play on: OVER 157 -110

811 Purdue & Kansas

Should be a tough day for the defenses as both teams own major offensive advantages. Purdue is a big team that dominates down low and Kansas is short of talented big men. On the other end of the court Kansas has great guard play and Purdue just doesn't have the speed and quickness to slow them down. Look for both teams to get the opposition in foul trouble as this game surpasses the posted total.

NCAA-B | West Virginia vs Gonzaga
Play on: UNDER 150 -105



Gonzaga big man, Przemek Karnowski, makes a huge difference for the Zags. His size and aggressiveness creates a huge problem for defenders. Gonzaga has an excellent frontcourt - and they are a full games work covering them all. Gonzaga can crash the boards with the best of them - and West Virginia will not be able to keep them under wraps too much.

The fact that West Virginia hasn't been able to shoot the ball overall - with any semblance of consistency is a huge issue to deal with. West Virginia struggles with FT"s too. I like the UNDER in this matchup tonight.
