Free Betting Pick: Buffalo Bulls -3.5
The Buffalo Bulls are a trendy upset pick in most brackets, and reasonably so as they are a senior-loaded team who has proven they can beat some of the top teams in college basketball. C.J. Massinburg is a very similar player to Jarrett Culver as they are a do-it-all team leader, but the surrounding cast of Buffalo is a little better as it includes Nick Perkins and Jeremy Harris. Buffalo will also put the stingy Texas Tech defense to the test in this one as the Bulls have the 4th ranked scoring offense in college basketball as they score an average of 85.1 PPG. Buffalo wins and covers, 77-75.
