Free NCAA Pick Write-up 3/14/10

It’s been a trying year for Tubby Smith and the Minnesota Golden Gophers. But they can make it all go away Sunday; the Gophers are one win away from the Big Ten championship and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. All they have to do is beat the No. 5 team in the AP rankings, the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Although Turner is also a premium defender, it’s taken him some time to adjust to the position switch, and Turner lost most of December to fractured lumbar vertebrae. His first encounter with the Gophers was just his second game back in uniform.
Both Turner and Ohio State have taken off since that Minnesota loss at 15-2 SU (9-8 ATS). However, wrapping up the Big Ten regular-season title early meant that the Buckeyes went into the conference tournament rusty after a full nine days off. It nearly cost them. Turner had to hit the game-winner from nearly 40 feet out to beat the Michigan Wolverines 69-68 in the quarterfinal. Then the Buckeyes had to sweat through two overtimes before earning an 88-81 victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini in the semis.
Meanwhile, no rust on the Gophers – they finished the regular season 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS, then took the standard three days off before entering the Big Ten tourney as the No. 6 seed. All 11 teams in the conference get to play, so Minnesota warmed up against the No. 11 Penn State Nittany Lions in the opening round.
The Gophers brushed aside the Lions 76-55, then pulled off a pair of upsets against the Michigan State Spartans and the shorthanded Purdue Boilermakers. If you believe in momentum, Minnesota has all of it.
Turner (34.8 minutes per game) is one of four Ohio State players playing well over the 30-minute mark. However young and fresh these legs may be, playing three games on three days takes its toll, especially on a team of shooters that rarely get to the line. The Gophers already have the advantage in this department regardless of rest.
They’re No. 8 in the nation in 3-point shooting at 40.5 percent (Ohio State is No. 26 at 38.3 percent), splitting the airborne duties among their three-guard set of Lawrence Westbrook (42.1 percent), Devoe Joseph (39.0 percent) and specialist Blake Hoffarber (48.0 percent).
This could be a very big problem for Ohio State on Sunday. Turner’s perimeter defense has improved with every game, but the Buckeyes still rank No. 172 in Division I by allowing opponents to hit 34.1 percent of their threes. The Gophers were 11-of-23 from downtown in their first game against OSU and 4-of-11 in their second. We do not see minnesota pulling off the miracle run, good teams win when it counts!

WHY BUY FROM VEGAS EDGE? |
|
Unlike other handicapping web sites, that have multiple 'Cappers that sell multiple picks, our business model is much different. We don't believe handicapping web sites should have numerous guys selling different picks on different games which runs the risk of them going against each other on the same game, creating nothing but confusion for the investor.
Here at Vegas Edge, we have a 10 man handicapping team and no game will be released unless 7 of the 10 handicappers are in agreement with that single play.
The best part of Vegas Edge is we keep it simple. We don't work off these ridiculous star ratings and upgraded clubs that just about every other handicapping web site out there use. Our rating system based like this.
1 Unit Plays - Play Your Average Wager Per Game
2 Unit Plays - Mean It's Time To Double Up
3 Unit Plays - They Don't Happen Often, But When They Do Take It To The Bank
IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GET THE VEGAS EDGE |
