About Last Night
Wild night in college basketball
What was looking like a pretty uneventful night in college basketball turned into a surprising night of upsets, including out west, where Gonzaga was upset as a 15-point home favorite by Loyola Marymount. This capped off a night that included an outright win on the road for Indiana over Illinois and a massive home victory for Michigan State over Rutgers.'
Celtics capture NBA Finals rematch'
It was a slower night in the NBA, but one that still featured a few notable games, including a rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics. After trailing for most of the game, Boston was still able to pull out a victory in overtime, avenging a loss in San Francisco from earlier in the season.'
Solid night of NHL picks
Our NHL team stayed hot on Thursday with another strong showing, finishing a combined 6-5 on sides and totals for the night, including a 2-0 mark on our best bets and player props. Pickswise NHL handicapper Tyler Mortimer is now 11-4 over his last 15 hockey selections, so be on the lookout for his Senators-Penguins preview today!'
