With the first round of the 2018 March Madness getting underway in just over 48 hours, college basketball betting enthusiasts everywhere are looking for the best advice and expert picks they can find. Well, look no further! I’ve got a trio of outstanding first round picks that are all offering the value you’re looking for. With the start of the Big Dance quickly approaching, let’s get down to business.
Marshall has gone 6-1 ATS in their last seven neutral site games and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games against a team with a winning record, but I like a focused Wichita State team to get the win by a dozen points to improve on their 4-1 ATS mark in their last five games against teams from Conference USA.Pick: Wichita State -11.5
