College basketball schedule today has 39 games
There’s an old weather proverb about March coming in like a lion and out like a lamb. Maybe they were talking about college basketball instead. The Month of Madness is here and that means even more conference tournaments and the Big Dance. Plenty of content will be coming your way on those topics, like it already has with some of our conference tournament previews.
Hopefully the picks come in like a lion as well. February certainly went out like a lamb. It was a month on the plus side, albeit barely, after a final-week dip. (Tracking sheet)
Here are some thoughts on the March 1 card (odds from DraftKings)
Missouri Tigers (-4, 148.5) at LSU Tigers
Missouri will be looking for the regular season sweep of LSU down in Baton Rouge here. Missouri won the first meeting by 10 back on Feb. 1 and led by as many as 18 in the first half. For Mizzou, it was a terrific offensive showing with 1.236 points per possession, but they’ve had a lot of those in conference play. This is a very good offense.
