Our free pick on Thursday will come from the opening round of the NCAA Tournament as the Florida Gators battle the BYU Cougars on Thursday afternoon. They tip off this college basketball game at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City Oklahoma at 12:20PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on CBS. With our free pick we will play on the BYU Cougars –5 points against the Florida Gators.
BYU is an outstanding team as they have won 29 games this season. The team hits on 48.6% of their shots and average 83 points a game. The Cougars are a very good free throw shooting team hitting on 78.6%, which is critical, as the team will look to extend their lead late in the game. Florida does not have size in the middle, which will aid the Cougars. The Gators are not very good defensively allowing the 11 games against NCAA Tournament teams to convert an average of 46.1% shooting. BYU lights up the scoreboard here and wins by margin.
Bet BYU Cougars –5 points.
