Boise State Broncos vs Northwestern Wildcats Point Spread Picks

If any school is due to win a game in the NCAA Tournament it's Boise State, which has yet to win in eight tries, but this could be the Broncos' year as they have won six of their past nine games and they are 11-4-2 ATS following an ATS loss and they have covered four of their past five neutral-court games. Northwestern made it into the tournament even while losing four of its last five games, including two in overtime to Penn State. Boise State is led by Max Rice, the son of coach Leon Rice, and he averages 14.4 points and four other Broncos score in double figures. Both teams are strong defensively and Northwestern allows only 28.4 points in the first half compared to 30.2 for Boise State, which allows opponents a .413 field goal percentage overall and just .309 from 3-point range. The Broncos are 8-2 UNDER their past 10 neutral-court games and the Wildcats are 8-2-1 UNDER their past 11 games. The Broncos will have the crowd advantage as it is being played in Sacramento. Take Boise State and make a Max Play on the first half UNDER.
