NCAA Basketball: Picks for Day 19 of 2023-24 season
By Bryan Mauro
Feast Week is almost over but not before starting off the day with a huge matchup between ranked teams. It is a day that will also see the Battle 4 Atlantis champion crowned.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and was able to spend some quality family time. My turkey was great and the family time was well spent and much needed. There were high quality matchups on Turkey Day and it was headlined by Arizona beating Michigan State. The day, like almost every other day, was not short on upsets. Loyola-Chicago used a late run to beat Boston College in the Hall of Fame Classic. Colorado State destroyed Creighton to win that event. Other than those games every other game saw the expected team win the game.
Yesterday I had the worst day of the year and went 9-6 in my picks. That gives me an 18 day total of 619-195. The Friday after Thanksgiving is no longer reserved for just Football. It presents a great slate of games that will undoubtedly have upsets and will see some more teams crowned champions of their Multi Team Events. Game picks for day 19 November 24,2023 are below.
