The Florida State Seminoles upset #1 Xavier Musketeers (75-70) in the Second Round of play.  Shooting their field goals at 44% and three pointers at 35% both less than the Musketeers but it didn't matter.  The Seminoles (+215) came back from a 10 point defecit to an even score when PJ Savoy hit a three.  The only points of the night for PJ.   Then with 6.4 second remaining in the vegas odds matchup CJ Walker sunk both of his free throws to seal the victory.  On their way to Xavier, the Seminoles faced off against Mizzou in a First Round West Region Championship.  The Seminoles were just plain better ball players.  The Vegas odds makers favorite is Gonzaga at -6(-105) and the road dog Florida Seminoles at +6(-115).  The game total is listed at 152(-105)u and 152(-115)o, for the over/under bettor.

The odds favorite Gonzaga Bulldogs who ended the regular betting season 1st in the WCC faced UNC Greensboro Spartans in the First Round.  Josh Perkins had the last laugh when he pulled up with a long jumper for three points to go ahead of the Spartans and win the game.  The Ohio State Buckeyes were ready for the Bulldogs in the Second Round after their win.  #5 Ohio was down by 11 points at the half then came back strong in the second half out scoring the Bulldogs by 5 points but couldn't do better. 

The # 4 Bulldogs (-255) and the #9 Seminoles will meet in Los Angelos, CA on March 22, 2018 in the Sweet 16 round of the Expert Picks NCAA Tournament.  The winner will go the Elite Eight to face off against the winner of Texas A & M versus Michigan.  What's your prediction?  Will the Florida Seminoles upset yet another betting odds favorite.
