March Madness Round of 32: Shocking Underdog Picks and Must-See Matchups That Could Rewrite the Bracket!
Pick: Virginia +1.5 (1 unit)
Utah State vs Arizona (-11.5): O/U 154.5
Arizona was one of the lone large favorites to cover the spread in the round of 64, while Utah State won and covered the -1.5 point spread against Villanova in a 8-9 matchup. Now, the Aggies turn around the face a Wildcats team that has the second-best odds to win the championship.

Utah State was awarded 36 free-throw attempts (made 28) in the first round and went an abysmal 2-of-16 from three (12.5%). The Aggies relied on free-throws and two-point shots (26-of-35, 74.3%), which won’t be the case against Arizona. Villanova shot only 13 free-throw attempts and relied on the triple, putting up 30 three-pointers and making 14 (46.7%). Arizona is a top-50 three-point shooting team, one of the best rebounding squads, top 100 in turnover percentage, and dominant in the paint. I think Arizona can roll here.
