Our picks were 1-1 on Friday, cashing in with a fade of Tanner Holden, but falling 2 points shy of a winning ticket on Kofi Cockburn’s point total.

Pick #1: Johnny Juzang Under 14.5 Points

The first bet to target is under 14.5 points for Johnny Juzang. The UCLA Bruins star has been struggling lately and now has to face a Saint Mary’s team that ranks ninth in the nation in defensive efficiency per KenPom.

Juzang has failed to exceed 10 points in six of his past seven outings, shooting below 34% from the field in four of those contests. The Bruins were one of the last four teams standing in the Final Four odds a year ago, but are in danger of exiting the NCAA Tournament early this season.

They’re currently 2.5-point favorites over the Gaels, but Saint Mary’s is gaining a lot of buzz. They’ve held three of their past five opponents below 60 points, and are one of only three teams to post a victory over Gonzaga, the team with the shortest odds to win March Madness, this season.

Pick #2: Andrew Nembhard Over 6.5 Assists

Speaking of the Zags, everybody is aware of projected lottery pick Chet Holmgren and Drew Timme, two top-10 contenders in the Wooden Award odds, but don’t sleep on Andrew Nembhard. He’s one of the top point guards in the country, and he’s been dishing out assists left, right and center lately.

Nembhard has racked up 27 dimes in his past three contests, including an 11-assist game versus Georgia State in the First Round.

He’s produced at least seven dimes in five of his past seven outings, and a date with Memphis on Saturday presents another favorable matchup. The Tigers allow an assist on 57% of their opponent’s field goals, and rank 206th in the country in opponent assists per game.
