2022 NCAA Tournament: First-Round ATS Picks (Friday)

March Madness is already in full swing, with 32 incredible games spread out over today and tomorrow. These first-round battles annually provide some of the most exciting moments of every NCAA Tournament.

The key to handicapping these early-round matchups is based on one thing: The matchups. Most recreational March Madness bettors overemphasize noisy stats such as overall record, conference representation, and scoring average. It’s critical to dive deeper into metrics such as two-way efficiency, rebounding rate, turnovers allowed and forced, and even free throw percentage. NCAA Tournament games play at a much slower pace, making execution in the half-court a critical component of late-game effectiveness.

Below you will find my official picks for the entire 16-game slate for Day 2 of the 2022 NCAA Tournament's first round.
