Bettin' is a Habit - 3/1

We here at B.I.A.H don't fancy ourselves gamblers, but we do know a lot of people with crippling addictions to gambling. So why not help enable them, right? Semi-regularly, we will provide you a couple of picks and one lead-pipe-lock that you can take to the bank. But if you take our advice and don't win any money, you aren't allowed to come bash our knee-caps in.

Gardner-Webb (11-20, 6-12) at Coastal Carolina (26-4, 16-2)

These two teams split games during the regular season, and now face off in the conference tournament. The Bulldogs won the last meeting at Coastal Carolina 59-57, and considering the state of the Chanticleers program right now, I wouldn't be surprised if they do it again. But this is a "Win-or-go-home" game, and Coastal Carolina does not want to see their 26-win season end like this. The two meetings during the regular season were decided by a total of five-points, so I like to think this one will be close as well.

Pick: Gardner-Webb +11


Alabama (19-9, 11-3) at Florida (22-6, 11-3)

This is an absolute must-win for the Crimson Tide. They lost to Ole Miss over the weekend, meaning they must win their final two games and do some work in the SEC tournament to even have a shot at grabbing an at-large bid. I think Florida will win this one, but not by much. They haven't beaten a team by more than ten points since back in mid-January.

Pick: Alabama +6


Ohio State (27-2, 14-2) at Penn State (15-12, 8-8)
All the bubble teams will be rooting for the Buckeyes in this one, because a win for Penn State would certainly put them on the right side of the bubble going into championship week. Plus, the Buckeyes have lost their last two games on the road, while Penn State has won their last two home games. Nonetheless I think tOSU continues to put up big numbers (averaging 75-ppg in their last five) tonight.

Pick: Over 129
