PICK of the DAY

Pick of the Day – Mountaineers @ Cardinals

West Virginia Mountaineers @ Louisville Cardinals

Cardinals (-3.5)

Thursday, March 8th – 7:00 PM ET

Looking to punch their ticket to the Big Dance, the Mounties came out firing last night, hitting a conference tourney record 17 threes in a rout. Today, the get to duel it out with the red hot Cardinals. What a game.

Bottom Line: The Mountaineers won’t stand a chance in this NCAA showdown. One thing that often happens after a record setting shooting spree, the record team slows down in the next game. It happens everywhere, and I hope it doesn’t kick the Mounties out fo the big dance, but the best team here is Louisville, and they are hot. Not only will they win this one, they’ll push it all the way to their conference championship on the way to a nice Big Dance showing. Rick Patino knows how to coach them kids, never doubt that.
