College Basketball Free Pick: The Wildcats are sitting in a four-way tie for seventh place in the Big East and are in danger of not getting a bye at the upcoming conference tournament. The Irish, on the other hand, can lock up a double-bye with a win tonight. The Cats have lost two straight and four of their last six and could struggle tonight to match up with Notre Dame’s offense. Tim Abromaitis scored 22 points and Ben Hansbrough 21 for the Irish in a 60-48 win over Seton Hall on Saturday. Meanwhile, Corey Fisher has shot just 4 of 26, including 0 of 16 form the arc, for 10 points in his last two games for Nova. This is just a case of taking the hotter team – we like the Irish to cover tonight.
