- Analysis
- At 9:25 pm, our selection is on the Florida Gators minus the points over Prairie View A&M. The defending champion Gators were blown out, 91-74, by Vanderbilt in the SEC Tourney. Off that debacle, we'll play on Florida, as it is 7-0 ATS its last seven following an upset blowout loss by 15+ points. We played on the Panthers in the First Four round, and cashed when they upset Lehigh, 67-55. That was Prairie View's 11th straight ATS win, dating back to February 16, and 8th straight-up win in a row. But underdogs of +6 (or more) points have cashed just 6 of 17 following an upset win in the First Four round. Even better: teams off upset wins have cashed just 42.1% over the last 36 years vs. foes off upset losses. Lay the points with the Gators. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
