Pick: Florida -3.5
Florida has been spectacular. The Gators have won and covered 5 of 6 post-season games, including their L3. They possess 4 players averaging DD’s. The frontline of 6’8 Tyus, 6’10 Macklin, and 6’10 Parsons are crashing the boards for 28.9 RPG. The “Big Men” are talented and agile. Florida has a swarming defense that allows a mere 63.1 PPG. Seasoned Coach, Billy Donovan is one of the best there is at preparing his team. Butler has played well, but let’s face it, the Bulldogs just don’t play the same level of competition as do the Gators. Butler has an “undersized” frontcourt that is not just giving up height here, but a lot of muscle as well. Understand that this is a squad that lost to “mediocre” teams like Evansville, Wisconsin Milwaukee twice, Wright State, and Youngstown State. The backcourt of Mack and Vangart is talented but fold when facing more “physical’ foes. Florida held BYU’s Jimmer Fredette to just 11-29 shooting. Butler doesn’t have a single player of Fredette’s caliber. Defense and physicality will give Florida a huge advantage here. The Gators are 13-3 ATS their L16 Tourney games, 6-1 ATS their L7 neutral site games, and 8-1-1 ATS their L10 overall. Take Florida. -Joseph D’Amico

Pick: Iona -135
On Saturday The College Insider Tournament semi finals selection is on Iona. Game 517 at 2:00 eastern. While both teams have identical records here at 24-11. Iona is the better team from a stronger conference and has beaten better teams in Buffalo and Valparaiso to get here. They have won 12 of 18 vs winning teams and 5 of 6 tournament Semi finals games. East Tennessee St has lost 6 of 7 times as an underdog and 5 of 6 times vs teams who average 77 or more points per game. They are also 0-2 at home when the total is 145 to 150. Iona have better all around numbers. Lay the small number with Iona. On Saturday I have the 2011 NCAAB 22-0 Tournament Game of the Year. This game is backed with solid systems and 5 big Power angles. In the NBA There are 2 plays up from 96% and 100% systems that date to 1995. NBA is 15 games over .500 for the year. For the free Play take Iona in the College Insider Tournament. -Rob Vinciletti (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: BYU vs. Florida over 149
These two teams met in last season’s NCAA Tournament with BYU surprising the Gators 99 to 92 in double-overtime in a first-round matchup. BYU’s star Jimmer Fredette put thirty-seven points on the Gators in that win. Florida’s defensive star, Kenny Boynton injured his ankle late in the game versus UCLA but Gator’s head coach Billy Donavan expects him to play tonight. It could be a big night for Fredette if Boynton does not do a better job against him this time around. Both BYU and Florida have faced UCLA this season, that is there only common opponent with the Gators winning 73 to 65 while the Cougars fell 86 to 79 with both games going Over the posted total. BYU is 12-8 Over on the road this season and Florida is 11-6 Over when playing away from Gainesville. The Cougars coming off an ATS win in their last game now playing on the road has gone Over at a rate of 13-1, as an underdog in the same situation they have gone 15-1 Over their last 16 times to post. Florida when coming off two wins now playing against a non-conference opponent in this price range has gone a perfect 6-0 Over. A check of our systems database reveals a pair of powerful league-wide situations that both point to this game sailing Over the posted total. Play OVER on CBB teams off a straight up win and going Over in their last two games now installed as a favorite in this price range, 41-14 Over. Play OVER on CBB teams off two games where they covered the spread and the games went Over the total and now play as a favorite in this price range, 23-7 Over their last thirty in this situation. We will make the call here for this one to go Over the posted total as both teams score the ball in the Big Easy.

Pick: Duke -8.5
At 9:45 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Duke Blue Devils minus the points over Arizona. In its last game, Arizona was a 5-point dog to the Texas Longhorns, and benefited from a horrible call by the ref, who had a quick trigger on his five-second count, which prevented a Texas timeout, and turned the ball over to the Wildcats, who proceeded to score the go-ahead bucket. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, underdogs priced from +7 to +16 points are a horrid 5-22 ATS in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the Tournament, if they’re off an upset win as a 2-point or greater underdog, and their opponent is off a pointspread loss. With Duke, indeed, off an ATS loss last week vs. the Michigan Wolverines, we’ll play on Mike Krzyzewski’s men on Thursday. Take the Blue Devils. Good luck, as always…Al McMordie. And don’t miss our top 2 plays today out of 23-2 and 50-10 angles. -Big Al McMordie

Pick: Florida -3
BYU is 32-4 straight up this year. The Cougars are 30-62-2 ATS their last 94 games as an underdog. The Cougars are 3-7 ATS their last 10 Big Dance games. BYU is 6-18 ATS their last 24 games off an ATS win. The Cougars are 2-8 ATS their last 10 Thursday games. BYU is 0-4 ATS off a win by more than 20 points. Florida is 28-7 straight up this year. The Gators are 6-0 ATS their last 6 NCAA Tournament games as favorites of 0.5 to 6.5 points. Florida is 7-1-1 ATS their last 9 games overall.
