Oakland vs N.C. State Picks & Prediction

The biggest upset on Thursday night belonged to Oakland, who shocked Kentucky as 13-point underdogs, 80-76 for the program's first ever NCAA tournament win.

Jack Gohlke knocked down 10 three-pointers for the Golden Grizzlies as they have covered their in their last four opportunities as an underdog.

N.C. State is the under the radar team in this matchup, even though the Wolfpack won five games in five days to capture the ACC championship.

The Wolfpack didn't have a letdown in their first-round matchup with Texas Tech by picking up an 80-67 victory as 5-point underdogs.

The key will obviously be slowing down Gohlke, who has hit at last 3 three-pointers in 10 of the past 11 games.

The Wolfpack couldn't avoid being listed as a favorite in this spot, but the blueprint should be there after Kentucky botched things up in the first round.

Pick: N.C. State -6 (-110)
