Wizarding School: Sweet 16 Day 2

March 24, 2023

What the Alabama Crimson Tide is about to do to the Aztecs this evening hasn’t been seen since 1518. Brandon Miller is going to channel is inner Hernán Cortés and conquer the SDSU fanbase’s hearts, minds, souls, and spirits. The Wager Wizard has been in the potions lab today concocting some potent picks. Let’s get into it.

Brandon Miller over 17.5 points

Good players win ball games, great players put the team on their backs. This man is angry, he’s rested up after last weekend, and he’s ready to ball. Best player in the country. He’ll prove it tonight.

Xavier +4 vs. Texas

Texas has a pretty damn good team. However, from what I’ve seen in this tournament, they have hot and cold streaks, but have been miserable from 3 point land recently. I really think this is a toss up, but I’m taking Xavier here. Sorry, Braydon.

Princeton +10.5 vs. Creighton

I am willing this 15-seeded Princeton as far as they can go. The guy above is the most normal dude ever and he can flat out ball. Man is an acquisitions analyst on the side. I just want pure chaos to happen in this game. Not gonna lie I’m a little biased because I’d much rather play Princeton than Creighton. I don’t think the magic is over quite yet for these Ivy Leaguers. Take the points.

Miami +7.5 vs. Houston

Still not over Houston’s players throwing chairs in Coleman Coliseum. Miami plays hard and I think they can match the intensity of these Cougars tonight. Houston really doesn’t have that great of an offense outside of Marcus Sasser. Take the points again.
