2024 NCAA Tournament Same Game Parlay Picks

#7 Dayton vs. #2 Arizona

Leg 1: Koby Brea Over 2.5 3pt Field Goals (-117)
Leg 2: Oumar Ballo Over 12.5 Points (-129)
Leg 3: Oumar Ballo Over 10.5 Rebounds (-143)

The Wildcats had better be careful in this second-round matchup with Dayton. We saw what happened when the Flyers caught fire behind the arc against Nevada, erasing a 17-point lead with less than seven minutes left in the game.

As noted before, Dayton shoots over 40% from behind the arc, the 3rd best in the country. Koby Brea leads this team in 3pt attempted and made. Brea went 5 for eight from 3-point land, including 3 for 3 in the final six minutes to help secure their comeback win. If the Flyers are going to have a shot at winning this game, they will need to keep up with Arizona’s high-tempo offense, and hitting threes will help tremendously.

As for Arizona, they also can shoot the three exceptionally well but don’t lean on the outside shot as much as Dayton. They love the mid-range shot while attacking the rim. Enter Oumar Ballo. One thing Dayton can do well on the defensive side is defend the three-ball, so Arizona should counteract that and feed their big man down low.

Barring a blowout, Ballo should have a significant impact on this game and get up and over both of these prop lines.

#5 Gonzaga vs. #1 Kansas

Leg 1: Gonzaga ML (-190)
Leg 2: KJ Adams Jr. Over 13.5 Points (-131)
Leg 3: Anton Watson Over 12.5 Points (-129)

This game has the makings of a track meet. The Zags and Jayhawks rank in the top 85 in terms of tempo, and each put up 80 plus points in the opening round.

KJ Adams has picked up the slack since Kevin McCullar’s injury. In the last four games since McCullar’s absence, Adams has averaged 17 points per game, topping 13.5 in three of the four games.

On the other side of the court, Anton Watson has been Gonzaga’s second-leading scorer, averaging over 14 points per game. Watson has hit this number in four straight games and eight of his last 10.

Both teams rely heavily on their starting five, but I think the Jayhawk’s lack of depth due to injury finally catches up with them. We saw them begin to fall apart against Samford and were extremely lucky to leave with a win. Give me the Zags in this second-round matchup.
