Welcome back to What’s Wright? with Nick Wright. With the NCAA Tournament down to its last four teams, it’s time to take a closer look at what’s ahead in Indianapolis.
Today, I’m breaking down each matchup and giving out my best bets for the weekend, including where I see value on the board.
UConn-Illinois & Arizona-Michigan
I think these are both going to be outstanding games.
The bright side of having no Cinderella is you typically get unbelievable quarterfinal matchups. Obviously, UConn-Duke was an all-time game, and we should get an exceptional semifinal.
But I would be rolling with both underdogs on this one, and they’re both tiny.
Nick Wright’s NCAA Tournament Semifinals Picks
Arizona +1.5 and UConn +1.5 would be my two picks.
I’m a Syracuse guy. I didn’t love Jim Calhoun. I don’t love Dan Hurley, but I respect him. What he has built and what they have done is remarkable.
And even though my pick to win the NCAA Tournament was Houston, I think Arizona’s been the best team all year.
My wife is on Michigan, but I like Arizona +1.5 and UConn +1.5.
