Streak for the Cash: March 15th


Who will have the higher total: Harvard (3-Pointers Made or Tie) or Vanderbilt (Winning Margin)
Let's get right to it.  Harvard has averaged 5.9 3-pointers per game.  Let's remember that Harvard doesn't exactly play the toughest teams as the play in the Ivy League.  Vanderbilt is one of the hottest teams in the country right now.  They've won 7 of 9 including the SEC Tournament and some are putting them in the Final Four.  The line for this game is at 5.5 in favor of the 'Dores.  Harvard hasn't played in a week and a half, but I don't think they can keep this game in single digits.  Vanderbilt is on a role right now and should beat the #12-seed Harvard easily.  Pick: Vanderbilt (Confidence: 3.5/5)


Who will win: Connecticut Huskies or Iowa State Cyclones
Iowa State is favored in this game by 1.5.  However, I don't think the Cyclones should be favored.  UCONN  has struggled this year, but Jim Calhoun is back.  Jim Calhoun plus the Huskies in the NCAA Tournament equals good things for UCONN.  UCONN will have a height advantage down low with Andre Drummond.  Also, ISU guards Scott Christopherson and Chris Allen aren't good enough defenders to keep in front of Shabazz Napier.  Connecticut played well ending the season, going 3-1(lost to Cuse by 3).  It should be a close game, but I like the Huskies to win.  Pick: Connecticut (Confidence: 4/5)
