Screw The Books Pick of the Day

Onions!!! Coming off a 4-0 day, Jimmy The Greek is going to make this a short but sweet post. For today's games, there are two matchups that really stand out to me and that is Gonzaga -1 and Wisconsin -3.

I know everyone is drinking the kool-aid on Jimmer but this team has struggled since Brandon Davies committed the ultimate sin of having pre-marital sex. I fully expect Jimmer to get his 30 points but Gonzaga has too much size inside with Robert Sacre who is a beast at 7'0 and 260 lbs. From the outside, the Bulldogs are led by senior Steven Gray who will be a tough matchup athletically for BYU.

As for Wisconsin, it seems that everyone is hung up on the game against Penn State when they only scored 33 points. Yeah it was ugly but it doesn't reflect the Badgers full body of work which included a regular season win against Ohio State. Led by Jordan Taylor, the Badgers feature the most efficient offense in the country with only 7.6 turnovers per game. Another key to the key game will be free throw percentage were Wisconsin is tops in the country at 82.3% and Kansas State is 278th in the country at 65.4%.
