Free Betting Pick: Yale Bulldogs +8
The Ivy League has constantly been a problem in the NCAA Tournament over the last few years as they have played close to some of the top teams in the country as well as pull the occasional upset. This Yale team is no joke, and we have seen that this season as they beat Miami and Iona as well as went to 2OT with a solid Memphis team. LSU is playing without their head coach due to NCAA violations, and I think it harms this young team as their mind will be focused elsewhere. LSU wins but fails to cover, 82-78.
