Bet on college basketball at the online sportsbook. The following are my top rated best bet selections for this weekend’s college hoops betting action.
UConn let me down big time to tip off Saturday’s college best bets after failing to compete with Villanova in a put up or shut up spot. Same goes for Butler and West Virginia who each held pretty substantial leads at home before pissing them both away to St. John’s and Texas Tech respectively. Where we did shine however was with the two recommended larger positions on Kansas versus Baylor and the under of Sunday’s night’s huge Mountain West showdown between Wyoming and Fresno State. The Jayhawks took it to the Bears right from the outset while the Cowboys and Bulldogs played to the rock fight as envisioned. In all, we went 2-3 ATS but still added to the bankroll. Here’s to adding to it once again this weekend! The following are my top rated best bet selections for this weekend’s college hoops betting action – Slam Your Man!!
Saturday CBB Picks
Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Wisconsin Badgers
Steve Pikiell’s kids invade Madison extremely fat and happy after scoring successive outright wins and covers at home against Michigan State and Ohio State. However, the Scarlet Knights home/road splits can’t be ignored with Ron Harper Jr. and company set to invade the Kohl Center where the Badgers have been nearly unbeatable (11-2 SU). With Wisconsin just snapping a five-game coverless streak with an outright win at MSU and already handling the Scarlet Knights in the RAC (60-54), look for the visitors to have their hands full with Johnny Davis and company. Lay the near double-digits with confidence!
Miami Hurricanes vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons
These ACC rivals partook in a barnburner at the Watsco Center that resulted in a 92-84 triumph for the Hurricanes. Though Miami lost the rebounding battle 29-23, it did a better job limiting turnovers and shot a blistering 62 percent from the field. That being said, the Canes benefitted from some home cooking in taking 27 free throws to the Deacs eight and that’s not likely to occur in the rematch. The U’s defensive efficiency is a major liability (No. 175) and it just luck boxed its way to a win and cover last time out versus GTECH. Even with Duke on deck, Miami will have 100 percent of WF’s undivided attention and cover the number.
UCLA Bruins vs. USC Trojans
Recent meetings between these hated Pac-12 rivals have played to brick fests with six of the last seven meetings playing to low scorers and an average of 138.1 points scored per game. As great both squads’ defenses have been to date, I’m expecting more of the same when they collide in the Galen Center on Saturday night. Isaiah Mobley figures to return to the hardwood after missing the last game versus Pacific due to breaking his nose against Arizona. Though the Trojans have played to high scorers in two straight at home, it’s the defense that will have to rise up if it’s to hold serve against the Bruins and add a huge win to the resume. Under she goes!
Sunday CBB Picks
UConn Huskies vs. St. John’s Red Storm
Why are the Johnnies always taking part in these noon tip-offs?! Regardless, I’ll be banking on Julian Champagnie and Posh Alexander putting on shows versus a Connecticut team it dropped an 86-78 decision to in overtime back in mid-January. St. John’s had no answer for Adama Sonogo who went for 26 and 18, while Champagnie took advantage of the Huskies poor 3-point defense by draining 4-of-9 from deep. Back on its home floor, look for St. John’s to push tempo and force the Huskies to play their style of game which results in enough points being scored to see the rivalry produce a sixth straight high scorer on Super Bowl Sunday.
Colorado State Rams vs. Boise State Broncos
Going into the season I had Niko Medved’s Colorado State Rams pegged as the team to beat in the Mountain West. Through early February, it’s Wyoming and Boise State that currently sit in the catbird seat a single game ahead of David Roddy and company. Having just scored a confidence building win and cover on the road against Nevada, I expect CSU to bring it Sunday afternoon. Boise State has been one of the luckiest teams in the country and will be laying a couple possessions. It’s been terrible in the chalk role of late having failed to cover once in the last five times. Make it once in the last six With Colorado State already falling on the road at San Diego State and Wyoming!
