2014 Stanford Cardinal Predictions and NCAA Basketball Futures Odds
by Aaron Smith - 10/8/2014

Johnny Dawkins was squarely on the hot seat entering last season. Stanford had been just outside the NCAA Tournament bubble the previous year (they ended up winning the NIT), and it was going to be NCAA Tournament or bust for Dawkins in the 2013-14 season. In early March, the Cardinal lost their third straight game and sat at 18-11 on the year. They were in danger of missing another NCAA Tournament. They responded by winning their final regular season game and winning two games in the highly-competitive Pac-12 Tournament.

2014 SMU Mustangs Predictions and NCAA Basketball Futures Odds
by Aaron Smith - 9/29/2014

If there was a team that had a legitimate gripe about the job of the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee last season it was the SMU Mustangs. Larry Brown’s team expected to see their name on a line when the bracket was unveiled. It would have been the school’s first NCAA Tournament berth in 20 years. It didn’t turn out that way. The Mustangs ended up being the No. 1 overall seed in the NIT. SMU made it to the final game in the NIT before being ousted in the closing seconds by Minnesota.

2014 Harvard Crimson Predictions and NCAA Basketball Futures Odds
by Aaron Smith - 9/18/2014

The Harvard Crimson shouldn’t be considered a “Cinderella” team anymore. That term is usually saved for teams that either aren’t expected to win or probably shouldn’t win in the NCAA Tournament. Harvard has won their first game in the NCAA Tournament two years in a row. The Crimson upended New Mexico two years ago as a No. 14 seed and then beat Cincinnati as a No. 12 seed last year. On the surface it appeared to be two stunning upsets,

UConn Huskies vs Kentucky Wildcats Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 4/6/2014

In a very unlikely Championship game matchup, John Calipari's young Kentucky Wildcats will take on Kevin Ollie's UConn Huskies. This will be the first ever Championship game where a 7 seed and an 8 seed will meet up. Kentucky made it's way to Monday's game in heart stopping fashion, winning 3 straight games with clutch 3-pointers by Aaron Harrison. Harrison sank a go-ahead 3-pointer with 5.7 seconds left to stun Wisconsin and Bo Ryan on Saturday night 74-73.

Connecticut Huskies vs. Florida Gators Free NCAA Picks with Odds & Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 4/3/2014

This game is a rematch of a fantastic regular-season matchup on Dec. 2. The Huskies won that game 65-64 thanks to some incredible last-minute heroics from Shabazz Napier, including a four-point play with 33.5 seconds left and a game-winning jump shot as time expired.

Wisconsin Badgers vs. Kentucky Wildcats Free NCAA Picks with Odds & Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 4/3/2014

Kentucky began the season ranked No. 1 in the country and was touted as having the Greatest Recruiting Class of All Time. Of course, both of those claims were absolutely hysterical as the Wildcats were neither the best team in the country nor the top crop of freshmen in college hoops history.

UConn Huskies vs Florida Gators Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/31/2014

The Connecticut Huskies will meet up with the Florida Gators for the second time this year. However, there is a championship birth riding on this game. In their first matchup this season, UConn was able to edge out Florida by one point with a 65-64 win. Since then, Florida has won every game they've played this season.

Wisconsin Badgers vs Kentucky Wildcats Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/31/2014

The Kentucky Wildcats will face the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday in the other half of this Final Four. There isn't a team playing hotter than the Wildcats at the moment and not many saw it coming after the numerous letdowns during the regular season. However, John Calipari has this young group of kids playing like they've been here before.

Michigan State Spartans vs. Virginia Cavaliers Free NCAA Picks With Odds & Predictions
by Chad Matthews - 3/27/2014

The Spartans were getting a ton of hype coming into the NCAA Tournament, and they deserved every bit of it. The Spartans are coming off a Big Ten tournament title, and they are finally completely healthy. Michigan State beat Delaware and Harvard in their first two NCAA Tournament contests, but I wasn't impressed with how they closed out Harvard.

Michigan State Spartans vs Virginia Cavaliers Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/24/2014

On a weekend full of anticipated matchups, perhaps none are more intriguing #4 seed Michigan State taking on top seeded Virginia on Friday in the Sweet 16. The Cavaliers will surely have a chip on their shoulder as MSU is almost everybody's (including President Obama) pick to win the 2014 NCAA Title.

Dayton Flyers vs Stanford Cardinal Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/24/2014

The undisputed darlings of the NCAA Tournament's opening weekend were the Dayton Flyers (25-10) hands down. Dayton started off the 2014 tournament with a bang by upsetting 6th seeded in-state rival Ohio State in Thursday's first game. The 60-59 win came as the Buckeyes were favored by 6.5 points.

San Diego State Aztecs vs Arizona Wildcats Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/24/2014

Not many people are giving San Diego State (31-4) much of a chance against #1 seed Arizona (32-4) but that might be the way the Aztecs like it. SDSU has made the Sweet 16 for the second time in four years but look to avenge a 74-67 loss to Connecticut in 2011.

Tennessee Volunteers vs Michigan Wolverines Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/24/2014

To say that not many fans had the #11 seed Tennessee Volunteers advancing this far would be an understatement. Most people had their brackets turned in before the Volunteers beat Iowa late last Wednesday night to get in the "2nd round".

UConn Huskies vs Iowa State Cyclones Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/24/2014

Two teams playing as if 2014 is a season of destiny meet up Friday at 7:27ET in the Sweet 16 of the East bracket. 7th seeded UConn (28-8) takes on #3 Iowa State in a rematch of a 2012 1st round game which ISU won 77-64 to end the Huskies' season.

Kentucky Wildcats vs Louisville Cardinals Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/24/2014

It could be the most anticipated matchup of the Sweet 16 with Rick Pitino and the Louisville Cardinals (31-5) taking on John Calipari's Kentucky Wildcats (26-10). There's no love lost between either coach and when these in-state rivals get together it's always popcorn-worthy.

Baylor Bears vs Wisconsin Badgers Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/24/2014

The 6th seeded Baylor Bears (26-11) have rolled through the first weekend of the tournament and had fun doing so. Wisconsin (26-7) has defended their #2 seed in their usual patient, meticulous manner. Something has to give at 7:47 ET on Thursday in Anaheim.

UCLA Bruins vs Florida Gators Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Guy Bruhn - 3/24/2014

Florida brings their 28 game win streak into Memphis as coach Billy Donovan looks to make the Elite 8 for the fourth straight year. 4th seed UCLA has bracket busting plans of their own though after two impressive games to open the tournament.

by Tony Sink - 3/20/2014

On Friday, the 16 seed Cal Poly Mustangs will face the 1 seed Wichita State Shockers after winning their first round game against the Texas Southern Tigers on Wednesday. Cal Poly ended the regular season with a 14-19 overall record and 6-10 America East conference record. The Mustangs started off the season 0-3 and then 4-9 earlier this year. Heading into the Big West Conference tournament, they had lost 9-of-11 games.

Tennessee Volunteers vs Massachusetts Minutemen Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 3/20/2014

The 11 seed Tennessee Volunteers were able to take out the Iowa Hawkeyes in an overtime first round matchup in the NCAA Tournament. This game was awfully tight until the overtime started and the Volunteers stepped on the collective throat of the Hawkeyes by outscoring them 14-1 in the overtime. Tennessee ended the regular season with a 22-12 overall record and a 11-7 SEC conference record.

North Carolina Tarheels vs Providence Friars Free NCAA Basketball Picks & Odds
by Tony Sink - 3/19/2014

On paper and in oddsmakers eyes North Carolina (-4) is the early favorite over Providence, but evidence suggests this game could be closer than most people think. The Friars have won 6 of 7 including a Big East upset over Creighton while UNC has lost their last 3.
