The NCAA Women's Tournament tips off on Wednesday, March 20 at 7 p.m. ET. I’ll have picks for every game of the tournament here on Action Network, and for some games that I feel stronger about, I’ll go deeper in separate articles.
Of course, March Madness gets started with the First Four on Wednesday and Thursday. Let’s go in order of tip-off with the odds, picks and bets for every First Four game.

Sacred Heart should roll in this matchup against the worst team in terms of NET rating in the tournament. Presbyterian is 299th in NET and 293rd in HerHoopStats rating. Sacred Heart is going back-to-back in tournament appearances, and I expect them to win by double digits.
Presbyterian vs. Sacred Heart Pick: Sacred Heart -8.5 (1 Unit)

I expect this game to feature two teams feeling each other out, getting through jitters and off to slow starts. Shea Ralph should devise a good gameplan to slow down Columbia’s Abbey Hsu. Play the under.
Columbia vs. Vanderbilt Pick: Under 138.5 (1 Unit)
Arizona vs. Auburn Odds, Picks, Best Bet

I think the books are giving the Pac-12 too much credit here. Auburn’s tenacious defense should have Arizona’s young guards under pressure all game. I love the physical Tigers to win outright here.
Arizona vs. Auburn Pick: Auburn Moneyline (1.5 Units)
Tennessee-Martin vs. Holy Cross Odds, Picks, Best Bet
Thursday, March 21, 9 p.m. ET, ESPN2
| Tennessee-Martin (W) Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
| -1 -110 |
117 -110o / -110u |
-115 |
| Holy Cross (W) Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
| +1 -110 |
117 -110o / -110u |
-105 |

I also like Holy Cross getting points here and sight 'dogs on the moneyline. They have some veterans who have tournament experience and in my opinion should be favored.
UT Martin vs. Holy Cross Pick: Holy Cross Moneyline (1 Unit)
