NCAA Basketball Picks - Wednesday, February 21

After a disappointing 0-3 Monday, it's time to rebound. The public mopped up on Monday and gave a decent amount back yesterday. Since the tournament is fast approaching, we better earn some spending cash. Tonight's winners are...


8pm

4* Play on Mississippi State -6.5 vs. Vanderbilt

If you checked out the SixTalkingHeads on Saturday, you knew we were all over Vandy. That's not because I used to play high school basketball against their starting center, but because I knew that they were going to pull off the upset over then #1 ranked Florida. However, after such a huge win, we also know how to play against the red hot Vanderbilt squad and cash in big tonight! The trends are a plenty, as the Bulldogs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. win and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 after an ATS win. They are also 6-0 ATS in their last 6 as a home fave of 0.5 - 6.5 pts. Throw in their 5-0 ATS mark vs. Southeastern squads, and Vandy's disappointing 0-5 ATS mark as a dog of 0.5-6.5 pts and we have a combined 25-0 trend... Also known as my game of the week! Vandy gets blown out!

9pm

3* Play on Oklahoma State +4.5 vs. Texas A&M

I love a good home squad, especially when that home squad is 18-1 on their own hardwood. Does this remind you of Michigan State last night? If so, I hope you are all over the Cowboys today. The Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a record above .600. Knowing that the #9 team in the country is only giving 4.5 seals the deal. Cowboys roll!

Best of Luck,

Pikes
