#10 Boise State Broncos vs #7 Northwestern Wildcats. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #10 Boise State Broncos. The only reason to pick Boise State in this game is because of its 3-point shooting ability.

Both teams are capable of playing outstanding defense, but Boise State will attempt to take advantage of Northwestern’s one defensive weakness after the Wildcats finished tenth in the Big Ten in opponents’ 3-point percentage.

The biggest match of the season for either the Broncos or the Wildcats will be an attempt to turn things around for both teams after recent struggles.

Northwestern is 1-4 ATS in its previous five March games, while Boise State is 2-8-1 ATS in its last 11 overall games. The #10 Boise State Broncos will win to a predicted score of 66-63.
