No. 1 Michigan vs. No. 4 Florida State (East)

No. 1 Michigan vs. No. 4 Florida State (East)
Sunday, 5 p.m., CBS
Michigan -2.5, O/U 143.5
The Wolverines are the last team standing from the Big Ten despite not having Isaiah Livers for the tournament. Eli Brooks has shot 8-of-15 from three in the Wolverines’ first two tournament games and will be counted on to keep that hot streak going. FSU has won its two tournament games by a combined 28 points as Anthony Polite scored 22 in the Seminoles’ win over Colorado in the second round.
No. 1 Baylor vs. No. 5 Villanova (South)
Saturday, 5:15 p.m., CBS
Baylor -7, O/U 140.5
Baylor blitzed Wisconsin in the second round as three players ufabet had at least 16 points and the Bears turned the ball over just four times. Villanova easily beat Winthrop in the first round and beat North Texas by 23 in the second round despite the absence of point guard Collin Gillespie. Both of these teams are extremely efficient on offense and Baylor leads the nation in 3-point percentage. The over may not be a bad play here.https://embed.fireplace.yahoo.com/embed/395815d2-ef10-44e0-9976-6a7270ba84c0?articleId=copy-paste-1592846486969&ctrl=SportsPromo&m_id=sportspromos&x_ap_enrich=.html
