We picked up 5 Units yesterday, and here’s 19 more.

Vanderbilt (-2) vs. Mississippi State
The Commodores are in their hometown for this one, and match up well with the Bulldogs. A.J. Ogilvy can neutralize Jarvis Varnado on the inside, and Vaderbilt’s outside shooting will give MSU problems on defense.
Take Vandy for 3 Units.

Richmond vs. Xavier (-3)
The Spiders lost to the Muskies in overtime during their only matchup earlier this year. Richmond knows how to knock off big-time opponents, and will look to get some revenge today.
Take Richmond for 4 Units.

Minnesota vs. Purdue 125.5
These are two teams who actually don’t mind a faster pace, and they’ve both been putting up scored in the high 60s and 70 over their past few game.
Yes, we’re actually taking an over in a Big Ten game. Take the over for 2 Units.

Kansas State vs. Kansas 146
The Jayhawks held off the Wildcats’ offense in their last meeting, but KSU has its shooters playing with a lot of confidence after three games scoring in the 80s.
Kansas has plenty of weapons too, and this will be played at a fast pace. If the Wildcats can make their shots, this will be a high-scoring affair. Take the over for 4 Units.

Washington at California (-2)
These two teams split their regular season matchups, and both have pretty much cruised to the Pac 10 finals.
The Huskies have more to play for in this one, because they are on the bubble and would like to guarantee their bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The talent level on both sides is fairly equal and the Washington backcourt will keep them hanging around. Take Washington for 3 Units.

San Diego State vs. UNLV (-4)
See the second sentence in the above synopsis for my reasoning in this one. Take SDSU for 2 Units.

Georgetown vs. West Virginia (-2.5)
The Hoyas have been the most impressive team in this tournament so far, crushing South Florida, Syracuse and Marquette.
The Mountaineers have squeaked by their last two opponents, including a buzzer-beater by Da’Sean Butler against Cincinnati.
I don’t understand this line and why WVU is favored. Take the Hoyas for 4 Units.
