College Basketball Pick'em Today: PrizePicks Plays for Saturday, March 15

This article is part of our DFS College Basketball series.

It was another nice night on Friday, going a perfect 3-for-3. Sometimes you just have to get back to basics. We played only the point totals on two of three players. Again - and this cannot be stressed enough - we're rolling with the K.I.S.S. formula: Keep It Simple, Silly...or something like that. Let's do it again on Saturday with conference tournaments either in their semifinals or finals.

If you're unfamiliar with how to play, you must simply choose at least two players from any sport and pick more or less based on their projected statistics to win. We'll obviously be exclusively selecting college hoops players, but you can mix and match from various other sports. You can also go with a flex play, meaning you still can have a winning night even if you have one losing selection. Or, you can go big and choose the power play, which pays out higher. However, you must hit all ends to win. Let's get started.

Getting ready for March Madness? For the latest in the projected field of 68 for 2025 NCAA Tournament, head to the RotoWire Bracketology page.

Jeremy Fears Jr., G, Michigan State

Fears went for 11 points in 27 minutes against Oregon on Friday in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals. He also had two turnovers with two or more in each of the past two games and seven of 10.

Fears didn't turn it over against Wisconsin during their most recent matchup on Mar. 2, though he didn't do much of anything else with a single point while going 0-for-4 from the field with zero turnovers.

Look for Fears to handle the ball way more in this Semifinal Tournament rematch with the Badgers. So look for the freshman to have many more chances for a miscue as he's likely to turn it over at least two times in this crucial matchup.

CBB PrizePicks Selection: Jeremy Fears Jr., Michigan State, Over 1.5 Turnovers

Jayden Dawson, G, Loyola Illinois

Dawson and the Ramblers meet the VCU Rams in the Atlantic 10 Conference Semifinals at Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. at 1 p.m. EDT. The game can be viewed or streamed on CBS Sports Network.

The Ramblers were no match at home against the Rams at the Joseph J. Gentile Arena on Jan. 4 in Chicago as VCU won by 21. Dawson only managed 10 points on 2-of-10 from the field, including 1-of-6 from behind the 3-point line.

VCU's defense is fierce, and Dawson and the Ramblers are once again expected to struggle. The Rams only allow 62.7 PPG (10th), 39.4 percent (11th) from the field, and 30.7 percent (35th) from deep.

CBB PrizePicks Selection: Jayden Dawson, Under 12 Points

Tyrese Hunter, G, Memphis

At 3 p.m. EDT, the Memphis Tigers meet the Tulane Green Wave in an American Athletic Conference (AAC) Semifinal game at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

These sides previously met this season, with Memphis winning a low-scoring 68-56 conference road game. Hunter only went  3-of-8 from the field with seven points, five assists and three rebounds alongside four turnovers.

Tulane's defense isn't the best, but they're rather sturdy conceding 69.4 PPG (98th) while limiting opponents to 40.7 percent (33rd) from the field and 31.8 percent (77th) from behind the 3-point line. Look for Hunter to struggle in this AAC Semifinal battle.

CBB PrizePicks Selection: Tyrese Hunter, Under 16.5 Pts+Rebs
