Randy’s Pick
The Indiana Hoosiers didn't look good last night against UConn, but it's UConn, the defending champs and a title contender this year as well. The Louisville Cardinals can't be in a great mood after that loss to Texas, not only because they lost, but they also got hosed by the refs in some spots. I could see a disappointed Louisville team take the court and let that result turn into another bad one. Indiana is the more talented team as well, no matter how you slice it. Give me the Hoosiers and whatever the line is.
