Pick #1: Drew Timme OVER 18.5 Points (-120)
The Gonzaga Bulldogs emerged as the highest scoring team in the nation this senior, with senior Drew Timme playing a pivotal sole in this team’s offensive success. Timme led the squad with 21.1 points per game in addition to setting team highs in rebounds, assists, and blocks, and has once again been a dominant force at March Madness.

The big man further cemented as reputation as a big-time producer at this tournament with 28 points in Gonzaga’s narrow 84-81 win over TCU in the Second Round, and has now averaged an impressive 22 points per game in 12 career NCAA Tournament games.
While the Zags face their tough test of the tournament against a tough UCLA defense that has allowed just 57.3 point per game over their past four outings, expect to continue to produce and top 18.5 as Gonzaga face the Bruins as strengthening 1.5-point underdogs.

Pick #2: Adama Sanogo OVER 8.5 Rebounds (-105)
This year’s edition of the NCAA Tournament has been the stage for Adama Sanogo to take the next step in his development as a dominating force under the bucket. The Connecticut Huskies junior has found a higher gear on offense while averaging 26 points per game through the first two rounds of the tournament, but it has been his performance in the paint that has played a big role in the Huskies impressive march back to the Sweet 16 for the first time in nine years.

— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) March 20, 2023
Sanogo is coming off a 24-point, eight-board performance in last weekend’s 70-55 rout of St. Mary’s and has now averaged 10.7 rebounds over his past seven games, and against a Razorbacks squad that has struggled to perform off the glass, Sanogo is well positioned to record OVER 8.5 rebounds in UCONN’s date with Arkansas as 4-point favorites.
Pick #3: Isaiah Wong UNDER 2.5 Assists (-130)
Isaiah Wong needed little while leading the Miami Hurricanes to an 85-69 win over Indiana in the Second Round. Wong accounted for half of the Hurricanes’ field goal attempts while racking up a team-high 27 points in the win. However, that contest marked the first time that Wong has not recorded an assist this season.
In fact, Wong led this team in helpers this season, averaging 3.3 points per game, and recorded 3.4 assists per game over his previous five outings. The talented new Jersey native will unlikely be able to roam the hardwood as freely in the Canes’ upcoming Sweet 16 date with Houston. However, the Cougars ranked 14th in the nation this season while allowing just 10 assists per game, and have continued to bottle up opponents at the Big Dance, allowing just 18 total helpers through the first two rounds.
Accordingly, the value is in Wong recording UNDER 2.5 assists against the top-ranked team in the Kenpom overall rankings.
Pick #4: Jordan Hawkins OVER 3.5 Three Pointers (-205)
The UCONN Huskies produce another bet in the Sweet 16 player props in the form of Jordan Hawkins. The sophomore out of Gaithersburg, Maryland has seized the opportunity in his first season as a starter at Connecticut, establishing career highs with 15.9 points and 3.8 boards per game.
But it has been Hawkins’ touch from long range that has added yet another dynamic to the formidable Connecticut attack.
In addition to being money at the free throw line and missing just one overall attempt in his past 12 games, Hawkins has also reliable from beyond the arc, averaging 2.9 threes per game this season. The versatile guard upped his game in last weekend’s Second Round win over St. Mary’s, contributing to the Huskies’ second-half assault with four threes and 12 points.
And with at least three treys in seven of his past night contests, Hawkins is a safe bet to record OVER 3.5 Threes in Thursday’s date with Arkansas, which was lit up for 11 total three-pointers last weekend.
