1* Free Pick on Florida -10
Florida is simply too athletic for Iowa to handle in this matchup.
The Gators excel at forcing turnovers and turning them into quick transition buckets.
Iowa struggles when they cannot dictate a slower, more methodical pace.
Florida’s defensive length will disrupt the Hawkeyes' ball movement and perimeter sets all night long.
The Gators rank in the top ten nationally in offensive rebounding percentage.
They will earn constant second-chance points that Iowa’s frontcourt is not built to stop.
Florida has been a cover machine lately, going 8-2 against the spread in their last ten games.
Iowa has struggled away from home, posting a 2-6 record against the spread in their last eight road or neutral games.
The Hawkeyes rely far too much on the three-point line to stay competitive.
Florida is elite at running shooters off the arc and forcing teams into contested mid-range shots.
The talent gap between these two rosters is wider than this ten-point line suggests.
Florida’s bench depth allows them to keep the defensive pressure high for the full forty minutes.
Iowa lacks a true rim protector to stop Florida’s high-percentage looks inside.
The Gators will likely spend the night at the free-throw line as Iowa fouls to stop easy dunks.
This is a nightmare matchup for a Hawkeyes team that lacks elite lateral quickness on the perimeter.
Expect Florida to use their superior speed to pull away early in the second half.
I like the Florida -10 (-110).

Sunday Card has the Round 2 TOTAL OF THE YEAR and a RARE 6* Side in Tournament action. BOTH Top plays in CBB Cash out on Saturday. Congrats to all those jumping on. Comp play below
The Sunday Comp play in N.I.T Tournament action is on Tulsa at 7 eastern minus the 4-5 points. Tulsa fits a nice system cashing 77% long term in this tournament for round 2 teams that are favored and off a home favored wins if they have more than 25 wins on the season and 2+ days of rest. Tonight they take on a 18-16 UNLV Team that was able to get past Cal Irvine in round 1 but we will back the 27 win home team tonight and go with Tulsa. GL Rob V

My selection is on Colorado over Washington at 12:35 pm et on Sunday.
You had to figure the Avalanche would be in a foul mood on Friday and of course they delivered a lopsided victory in Chicago to snap their three-game slide. I look for them to use that victory as a springboard as they head to Washington to take on the surging Capitals on Sunday. With desperation has come back-to-back victories for the Caps. There's a big difference between beating the Senators and Devils and contending with the Avs, however. Colorado is 22-12-5 on the road this season where it has outscored opponents by an average margin of 1.1 goals. While Washington has held its own on home ice, I expect it to fall short here. Take Colorado (8*).
AAA Sports
AAA Sports' Selection -- Tampa Bay Lightning (ML):
Tampa Bay is red hot once again and just beat Edmonton on the road on Saturday.
It's hard to win both games in Alberta in back-to-back days. But, the Lightning have proven to be the most electric scoring team that the Eastern Conference has.
They have beaten Calgary in nine of the L13 games between these two teams.
Calgary has won consecutive games itself. But, it's just 3-9 over it's L12 games played against foes from the East.
The Flames are also 18-42 as an underdog this year.
We're on Tampa.

Saint Joseph's vs California CBB Free Pick
The Angle(s): Saint Joseph's is 21-11 to the under on the season but I think the Hawks will give up points here as underdogs against a Cal team that has scored 89 and 91 points in its last two games.
The Bet: OVER (3%).
