College Basketball Predictions All Season Long

The market has UC Santa Barbara laying 5.5 points against UC Davis in Henderson, and the case for treating that number as inflated is stronger than almost any comparable spread on the Big West Tournament board — two teams with identical 18-13 records, identical 11-9 conference marks, and a season…

Boise State enters the Mountain West Tournament riding a five-game winning streak and sitting on the fringes of the NCAA Tournament bubble — which means the Broncos need four wins in four days in Las Vegas just to secure the auto bid, and cannot afford to sleepwalk through an opening-round…

Every meeting between Temple and Florida Atlantic over the last three seasons has come down to the final possession, and Wednesday's American Conference Tournament opener in Birmingham looks poised to follow that same script — but the cherry-and-white may be more dangerous than a seven-of-eight losing streak suggests when you…

Wake Forest knocked off Virginia Tech on Tuesday to advance in the ACC Tournament, but the Demon Deacons now face the exact scenario that makes back-to-back tournament games one of the most difficult spots in college basketball betting — a fresh, 22-9 Clemson squad that spent Tuesday preparing specifically for…

Oklahoma State just engineered a nine-point first-round tournament win over Colorado, but the Cowboys now face the one opponent that has beaten them five consecutive times — including two heart-stopping finishes this season that both went TCU's way by three points. The Horned Frogs won the January meeting by three…

The Big East Tournament first round delivers a matchup where both teams know exactly how the other plays — they split the season series by a combined 15 points across two games that never reached 71 combined points from either side — and the most important development heading into Wednesday…

Oklahoma has quietly become one of the most dangerous teams in the SEC Tournament field, winning four straight and six of eight to arrive in Nashville as a legitimate bubble threat — and now the Sooners face a South Carolina team that beat them in January but has since collapsed…

Minnesota already handled Rutgers by 19 points on February 21, and the full-season defensive profile that made that result possible has not changed heading into Wednesday night's Big Ten Tournament matchup in Indianapolis. The Golden Gophers allow just 68.4 points per game, average 17.2 assists, and have held six of…

Cal Poly proved it could beat UC San Diego on January 1, but the 16-point blowout the Tritons delivered on February 28 is the result that matters most heading into Wednesday's Big West Tournament matchup in Henderson — and the full-season profiles suggest that second result is the more reliable…

New Mexico State arrives in Wednesday's C-USA Tournament quarterfinal riding a four-game winning streak and carrying genuine momentum after Tuesday's 68-63 tournament win over Jacksonville State — but momentum has a shelf life, and the Aggies are now on the second night of a tournament back-to-back against a Sam Houston…

Fresno State has been one of the Mountain West's most inconsistent teams down the stretch, dropping four of its last five games including an embarrassing 85-60 loss at Grand Canyon in its regular-season finale, and now the Bulldogs walk into the Mountain West Tournament as 7.5-point underdogs against a Colorado…

Florida A&M enters Wednesday's SWAC Tournament matchup as a 7.5-point favorite, but the market may be overreacting to the Rattlers' three-game winning streak while underweighting the most important evidence in this handicap: Jackson State already beat Florida A&M twice this season — once by a single point in Tallahassee and…

Four meetings in a single season — one postponed, two Abilene Christian wins, and one Tarleton State overtime victory in the most recent encounter — have established that these WAC programs know each other about as well as any two opponents in college basketball right now, and the market reflects…

Cal arrives in Charlotte with a 21-10 record and the better season-long résumé, but the betting case for this ACC Tournament matchup points firmly toward Florida State — a team that already beat the Bears in a physical 63-61 grind in January and has been playing its best basketball of…

Three days after one of the most entertaining games in the AAC Tournament's recent history — a 96-95 overtime thriller on March 8 — Tulane and Memphis are back on the same floor in Birmingham for a rematch that neither team may be fully ready to play, but both absolutely…
