Is your bracket still alive? The second day of March Madness action tips off shortly and we've got another scintillating slate of college basketball for fans and bettors to enjoy. Another Pac-12 versus SEC matchup pits the Colorado Buffaloes and the Florida Gators. That means a ton of opportunity to win on yet another NCAAB same-game parlay.
Oregon came through with the win for us, but we missed out on cashing our first day same-game parlay by one Jermaine Couisnard rebound and one Jackson Shelstad point, rebound, or assist. The best part of March Madness is there's always another game tomorrow. Let's make up for yesterday with a Colorado vs Florida March Madness same-game parlay.

| Colorado +1.5 | -108 |
| OVER 158.5 Points | -108 |

March Madness Same-Game Parlay Matchup: Colorado vs Florida
Colorado battles the Florida Gators in a critical March Madness round of 64 matchup. The winner gets the treat of battling either Marquette or Western Kentucky in the second round. We witnessed Oregon take down South Carolina in yesterday's Pac-12 vs SEC battle. Could history repeat itself?
Pick 1: Colorado +1.5
Tad Boyle's squad has the recipe to pull off an upset over a Gators team that's ripe for the taking. The Buffaloes shoot the lights out, ranking 5th nationally in field goal percentage and three-point percentage. For Buffaloes knock down over 40% of shots from deep. Colorado plays at a slower pace than most (208th in the country) and have a multitude of ways to get their shooters open.

On the flip side the Florida defense has been a sieve of late. The Gators sport the profile of a vulnerable March Madness favorite. Florida plays at pace, which will increase the amount of possessions for Colorado's sharpshooters to bridge any gap, and they're missing their front court talisman. Florida big Micah Handlogten in this one which thins out an already short-handed front line. I love Colorado's shooters to get hot and pull off the slight upset.
Pick 2: OVER 158.5 Points
Florida gave up at least 80 points in all four of their SEC Tournament games. The Gators have struggled on the defensive end all year, allowing 78.5 points per game. Plus, they have one of the most potent offenses in the country, averaging 85 points per contest.
It's much the same story for Colorado who scores 78.7 points per game, but gives up over 70 per game on the defensive end. Moreover, the Buffaloes are an elite three-point shooting team, knocking down 39.1% of shots from downtown. No matter the game script, Colorado can put up points in bunches. They'll be a scoring a ton against this leaky Florida defense. The OVER 158.5 points is an easy choice here.
Pick 3: KJ simpson OVER 1.5 Three-Pointers
Undoubtedly the Buffaloes best player, KJ Simpson has shot an outstanding 45% from three on the year. The junior star has knocked down multiple threes in five of his last six games, and will be letting it fly against Florida.
Florida's defense has defended the arc well all year, but will be hard pressed in stopping Simpson from finding at least a few good looks at the basket. Simpson will be the catalyst of a Buffaloes victory. His OVER 1.5 three-pointers is an easy play as part of our March Madness same-game parlay.
