Barstool boss Dave Portnoy has zeroed in on the Big Ten Conference for his next batch of March Madness picks in a four-team parlay. 

Portnoy contends ‘yesterday didn’t count’ as his first NCAA Tournament prediction of San Diego State beating North Carolina failed miserably. 

Now, Portnoy had made his selections for a quartet of teams that will advance to the Sweet 16, meaning they will win twice before the week is up. 

Portnoy started with picking his beloved Michigan, wearing a yellow and blue jacket whole making the predictions. 

Then he chose ‘little brother’ Maryland, impressed with how the Terrapins played against his favorite Wolverines. 

Portnoy also is backing rival Michigan State to make the Sweet 16, with a first-round game against Bryant on tap, and the winner facing the Marquette-New Mexico victor.

The odds of Portnoy’s parlay to hit are 22-1, with how much money the Barstool boss put down on the quartet himself unclear. 

Portnoy has reversed course for his final selection, picking the Tar Heels to go on a run to the Sweet 16, getting by first Ole Miss, and then the Iowa State-Lipscomb winner. 

The Round of 64 kicks off Thursday at Noon, with 32 win-or-go-home games over the next 48 hours. 

Michigan has been a trendy pick to be upset by No 12 seed UC San Diego, while North Carolina will likely be the only team among his four to be an underdog anywhere before the Sweet 16 should they all advance. 

Portnoy has not revealed who he has winning the NCAA Tournament, with Michigan State being the most-popular choice among the four he is betting on.
