Daily Three 3/17

 Hello,

 Well, we started the tournament off with a bang, a 3-0, +30 unit day. It was the first undefeated day in a while, and we are going use that momentum to keep making the right picks. Let's do it again.

Oklahoma State Cowboys +2.5 (11 units wagered, 10 units won) vs Michigan Wolverines
Time: 12:15 EST TV: CBS

 I'm guessing I am going to get some flak for this one. Oklahoma State has lost their last three games coming into the tournament. The Wolverines won 4 games in 4 days to win the Big 10 Tournament. Everyone has appeared to jump on the Wolverine bandwagon. However, I am not one one of those people. Look, what they did last week was impressive, and Derrick Walton Jr. is a stud. However, I think that they benefited greatly from playing 4 games in 4 days. They got into a rhythm right away, and they were just able ride it the whole weekend. Now, they have been off for a few days, and it will be hard to maintain what they built last week. I think Michigan is going to fall back to their normal, inconsistent level of play that plagued them for most of the year. Oklahoma State has the most efficient offense in the country, according to Kenpom, and I think they can take advantage of their matchup against Michigan's average defense. I'm going to stray from the crowd and take the Cowboys to pull off the mini upset.

Side note, Jawun Evans vs Walton will most likely be the best individual matchup today, so make sure you stream this game today at the office.

 Seton Hall Pirates +1 (11 units wagered, 10 units won) vs Arkansas Razorbacks
Time: 1:30 EST TV: TNT

 In this matchup, we have the Seton Hall Pirates, who are the better team but lack depth, going against the Arkansas Razorbacks, who have a deep rotation that allows them to play their patented "40 Minutes of Hell" style. Today, I am going to side with the better team. The Pirates have the leading rebounder in the country, Angel Delgado, and competent guards that will be able to handle the high pressure from the Razorbacks. Also, the Razorbacks completely imploded in the SEC Championship game against Kentucky. They committed a few flagrant fouls, including a flagrant 2 from their best player, Moses Kingsley, that led to his ejection (he will play today). It's hard to come back from defaulting efforts like the one on Sunday, and I think the Pirates are totally capable of taking advantage of it. Today, we are your favorite childhood story comes to life, as we are going to find the buried treasure with the Pirates.

Rhode Island Rams -1 (11 units wagered, 10 units won) vs Creighton Blue Jays

 Here is a link to my March Madness preview. You will find a writeup about E.C. Matthews. That is all you need to know about this game. I will say, though, that the Blue Jays have really struggled since that Mo Watson injury. It is really a shame, they could have gone very far this year if he was still healthy.

 Yesterday: 3-0
 Overall: 105-95-7 (+108.5 units)
 March: 23-21 (+8.5 units)
 NCAA Tournament: 3-0 (+30 Units)
