College Basketball Season Record: 150-147-11 — Betting 1 Unit to Win X
11:00am cst: Clemson Tigers -3.5 vs. Syracuse Orangemen; Total 151.5
This is quite the sandwich spot for the Tigers after beating North Carolina on the road the face Syracuse with Miami on deck. Syracuse is in the perfect position to play spoiler. The Cuse have been up and down this season but with ex-Orangemen Joe Girard coming to town, I think Syracuse will be ready for this one. The house should be rockin’.
Pick: Syracuse +3.5 (-108) [via DraftKings]
11:30am cst: Creighton Blue Jays -1.5 vs. Xavier Musketeers; Total 154.5
Creighton has dropped back-to-back games and now must face a surging Xavier team. These teams are tied for fourth place in the Big East so this is a huge game in regards to NCAA Tournament seeding / ticket punching. Xavier is a great rebounding team. They dominated the glass especially on the offensive side in their last meeting. I am taking the home dog to make Creighton work for their outside shots. If Xavier can keep them off the 3PT line they can win this game.
Pick: Xavier +1.5 (-112) [via DraftKings]
2:30pm cst: Auburn Tigers -1.5 vs. Florida Gators; Total 158
Auburn is red hot right now at the top of the SEC but the Florida Gators are surging right now. I have not been a fan of this Florida team but they are improving. They love to shoot the three but now they are going inside using their big men more often. They dominate the glass especially on the offensive side of the ball. Auburn’s big men will meet their match in this game. Auburn tends to struggle at Florida so this may be the perfect time to sell on Auburn and buy the Gators.
Pick: Florida +1.5 (-112) [via DraftKings]
3:00pm cst: Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Kentucky Wildcats -4.5; Total 171
Gonzaga has been a pretender all season. Kentucky needs to get back on track to give them a boost heading back into SEC play. This would be a great confidence booster. This Kentucky team is 5x as talented. I have to go Wildcats here. Spread should be six.
Pick: Kentucky -4.5 (-110) [via BetOnline]
3:30pm cst: Kent State Golden Flashes vs. Troy Trojans -5.5; Total144.5
Pick: Troy -5.5 (-115) [via BetOnline]
