    7:00 PM Eastern

    Butler vs. Boise State

    Defense should tighten up on both sides in this second-round tournament matchup, and Boise State has the healthiest roster of any team in the field. Boise State ranks 39th in the country in points per possession allowed and leads the nation in defensive rebound percentage, allowing opponents to grab just 19.7% of their missed shots. Meanwhile, Butler entered the tournament ranked just 234th in possessions per game and struggles on the offensive glass, securing only 23.6% of their missed shots—301st in the country.

    Pick: Under 155 (Greg’s Handicapped Total: 149.5)

    Nebraska vs. Georgetown

    Georgetown was severely shorthanded Monday night due to illness, with Malik Mack being the only one of their top five scorers to play in their win over Washington State. Nebraska, on the other hand, has most of its main core available for this event. While Nebraska’s biggest weakness is ranking just 199th in rebound percentage, Georgetown is without its top three rebounders, mitigating that disadvantage.

    Pick: Nebraska -7.5 (Greg’s Handicap: Nebraska -9)
