A boatload of smart college basketball player props are up for grabs the rest of the NCAA Tournament in the Action App.
Let's start with Thursday's Sweet 16.
I found a grade-A level prediction via PRO Prop Projections for every single Thursday game, including edges north of 30% on picks for Bennett Stirtz and others.
Picks are all over/unders, and they span the point total and rebound categories. Let's get busy with four PRO picks Thursday in the Sweet 16.
Sweet 16 Picks: Sharp Player Props for Every Thursday Game
*Odds as of Wednesday night
I'll cover a projection mismatch in every single game. Here's how Thursday's hoops card looks.
- Texas vs. Purdue (7:10 ET)
- Iowa vs. Nebraska (1:35 ET)
- Arkansas vs. Arizona (2:50 ET)
- Illinois vs. Houston (7:25 ET)
First up in Texas vs. Purdue, projections flagged a player’s point total over that looks enticing.
Specifically, Purdue big man Oscar Cluff is the pick to click.
While most shops line the Boilermakers center at 9.5/10.5, Action-powered projections predict Cluff to score around 13.4.
PRO Projections Pick: Oscar Cluff Over Points
Next up in Iowa vs. Nebraska, Bennett Stirtz under 4.5 rebounds is projection’s best bet across every Thursday game. Pro models expect fewer than three for the Iowa star, calculating more like 2.8. (31.4% edge).
PRO Projections Pick: Bennett Stirtz Under Rebounds
The best play for Arkansas vs. Arizona, meanwhile, is Wildcats forward Koa Peat under 6.5 rebounds. PRO anticipates roughly 5.1 – right around the season average (5.3).

Finally, for Houston vs. Illinois, take Tomislav Ivisic’s under on points. The line is around 8.5, with PRO coming in at only 6.4. As a bonus, PRO also likes twin brother Zvonimir Ivisic to go OVER the point total (3.5; PRO: 6.2)
