Picks for 3/5/25
College Basketball
9:00 PM EST
Rotation # 718
Louisville -14.5 over CAL (win)
CAL punched their ticket to the ACC Tournament with a win against BC over the weekend. They will be a weak seed, but at least they have something positive to look back on in their inaugural ACC Season. Louisville might bump a spot in the standings and, at the least, not drop a line in their NCAA Tournament selection seed with what would be considered a bad loss. The bottom line is that the Cardinals are bigger, stronger, more experienced, and a much better program. The KFC Yum! Center is a difficult place to play, especially for a Golden Bears team with only one conference road win against a bad NC State team. The Guard play of Chucky Hepburn, Terrence Edwards, and Reyne Smith will be too much for a poor CAL defense to contain. The Cardinals should win by double digits. Take Louisville.
