TCU at Kansas
Line: Kansas by 22.5.
4:00 PM ET (Game 547-548)

Kansas has finally gotten its act together. Fully recovered from that three-game losing streak, the Jayhawks are on a roll. They just won at Oklahoma State, so they should be able to destroy TCU in a revenge game. The Horned Frogs beat Kansas a couple of weeks ago, but have since suffered multiple blowouts by more than the posted point spread.

College Basketball Pick: Kansas -22.5 (1 Unit)


Missouri at Kentucky
Line: Kentucky by 2.5.
9:00 PM ET (Game 619-620)

I don't think this spread has been fully adjusted for Nerlens Noel's injury. Missouri is much better than this struggling Kentucky squad that nearly lost to crappy Vanderbilt earlier in the week.

I don't see Kelly becoming a factor, even if he plays he'll be worried about the foul trouble, and UL is smart enough to go at him, try to take a charge or attack on the other end to get him that 4th and 5th. The Ware injury was gruesome and my heart goes out to that kid, but that's the kind of thing that these young players will use as motivation. If it was going to take them out of their game, we would have seen it immediately after. Pitino won't enough have to fake it to get them charged up to win it for their teammate. I think they pull away and win by 6-8 pts. j cash 03-31-2013 05:07 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.127 (total posts: 2) 4     4 bigri30 i was pulling for ur under... that would've been badddd if u lost still alive in massive parlay with wich st ml, mich ml, and now louisville -3.5 I'm prob gunna have to sweat this one out but I like my chances and think UL is the best team in the country and future natl champs.

Duke at Virginia Tech
Line: Duke by 13.
9:00 PM ET (Game 527-528)

Duke, like Kentucky, continues to get an unbelievable amount of respect. The Blue Devils are not that good without Ryan Kelly. They don't deserve to be favored by this much on the road. Virginia Tech isn't a very talented squad, but it took North Carolina and N.C. State to overtime on the road. I think the Hokies could at least be competitive with Duke tonight.

Vanderbilt at Kentucky
Line: Kentucky by 11.
8:00 PM ET (Game 757-758)

My college basketball picks have been awful, but let's see if I can turn things around after a week off. The Wildcats not being the same team without Nerlens Noel is an understatement. They stink now. They could barely put away teams like Vanderbilt with Noel, so I don't understand what they're doing being favored by 11 without him.

Kentucky at Florida
Line: Florida by 10.5.
7:00 PM ET (Game 523-524)

Kentucky's playing great basketball right now, while Florida? Not so much. The Gators were thrashed by Arkansas and then failed to cover against an awful Mississippi State team. They won't be as good going forward without forward Will Yeguete, who is out for the year with a knee. This spread is too high.

Duke at Boston College
Line: Duke by 11.
6:00 PM ET (Game 839-840)

Ugh, so close to going 3-0. Whatever. I like Duke tonight. The Blue Devils should be -11 over a Boston College squad that has dropped five of six, including its previous three of four by double digits. The Blue Devils have seemed to right the ship after struggling early on without Ryan Kelly. This should be a blowout.

North Carolina at Miami
Line: Miami by 7.
7:00 PM ET (Game 509-510)

This spread is three points too low; KenPom rankings have this as Miami -10 - and for good reason. The Hurricanes are an unstoppable force right now, while the Tar Heels haven't played to within eight of any top-40 team this year.

College Basketball Pick: Miami -7 (1 Unit) -- Correct; +$100


Mississippi State at Florida
Line: Florida by 26.5.
5:00 PM ET (Game 583-584)

A week ago, I took a Mississippi school as a big underdog at Florida. I am not doing the same thing today. Mississippi State is a terrible team that hasn't been competitive in most games. The Gators, meanwhile, tend to respond very well coming off losses. They have plenty of 30-plus victories this year, so I don't see why they can't cover the huge number again.


College Basketball Pick: Florida -26.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220


Iowa State at Kansas State
Line: Kansas State by 6.5.
6:00 PM ET (Game 591-592)

I'm taking the underdog for a change because this spread is way too high. These teams are about even, so the line should be between three and four. Perhaps the number's inflated because of Iowa State's poor road record, but that's pretty bogus. The Cyclones have recently lost at Oklahoma State by two and took Kansas to overtime as visitors. Both the Cowboys and Jayhawks are better than the Wildcats.

Indiana at Illinois
Line: Indiana by 7.
7:00 PM ET (Game 509-510)

This spread doesn't make any sense. Indiana should be an 11-point favorite over a terrible Illinois team that has only one win since Jan. 5. Maybe the oddsmakers are accounting for this game being sandwiched between battles against Michigan and Ohio State, but four points is a hell of an adjustment. The Hoosiers are the top team in the country, so they should be able to take care of business.

College Basketball Pick: Indiana -7 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220


Colorado at Oregon
Line: Oregon by 7.
10:00 PM ET (Game 551-552)

Maybe fading the other Oregon team will work tonight. The Ducks had a great victory over Arizona back in January, but have struggled to put away mediocre competition since. Now, they're coming off a two-game losing streak, thanks in part to being without starting guard Dominic Artis, who is doubtful for tonight's game. This spread is a bit too high (should be Oregon -5), so I'm taking Colorado, a team that has won three of its previous four.


College Basketball Pick: Colorado +7 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200

Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013 (1-1, -$20)
Mississippi State at Ole Miss
Line: Ole Miss by 16.
9:00 PM ET (Game 791-792)

KenPom says Ole Miss should be a 23-point favorite tonight, and I would strongly agree with that. The Rebels played well at Florida on Saturday night, while Mississippi State is an abomination. The Bulldogs just aren't competitive against quality competition, having lost to Florida at home by 35, at Arkansas by 26 and at Tennessee by 15. Ole Miss is better than the Razorbacks and the Vols, so I don't see how Mississippi State can hang with its in-state rival.

College Basketball Pick: Ole Miss -16 (2 Units) -- Correct; +$200


Utah at Oregon State
Line: Oregon State by 8.5.
10:00 PM ET (Game 799-800)

Here's another game where the spread doesn't match the projected line at KenPom, which is Oregon State -5. The Beavers are in a major slump, having lost eight of their previous nine. Their lone victory came against Washington at home - a team that Utah beat by a wider margin on the road. The Utes have been pretty solid lately; they recently dispatched a decent Colorado squad at home. They should be able to hang with Oregon State tonight and cover the large number.

Boston College at Miami
Line: Miami by 13.
7:00 PM ET (Game 521-522)

Boston College has lost five of its previous six. The Eagles are struggling right now, and they haven't even played many quality opponents yet. The best team they've played on the road thus far was Virginia, and they lost that game by 14. Miami is obviously much better than the Cavaliers.

Texas at West Virginia
Line: West Virginia by 6.
9:00 PM ET (Game 727-728)

Beaten at the buzzer yesterday by a meaningless layup. FML. Hoping for better luck tonight with Texas. These teams are about even. They've even beaten the same two teams - TCU and Texas Tech - in their only recent victories. With that in mind, I don't really understand this spread. It should be around -3, maybe -3.5.

Oregon State at Stanford
Line: Stanford by 9.5.
3:00 PM ET (Game 817-818)

I like Stanford today. The Cardinal has won four of its previous six, which most recently includes a thumping of a very good Oregon squad. Oregon State, meanwhile, has dropped seven of eight, losing to every quality team by double digits in that span. I really want Stanford -9, and the line could be headed that way because the public is betting the Beavers. I'll take Stanford -9.5 or -10 for one unit and Stanford -9 for two units. I'll have an update before tip-off.

Manhattan at Siena
Line: Manhattan by 4.
7:00 PM ET (Game 837-838)

6:00 PM ET (Game 837-838)

Not sure why my college basketball picks so much, but I'm taking Florida State today. Miami is being overhyped because of that awesome win against Duke, but the fact is that the Hurricanes barely beat Gerogia Tech prior to playing the Blue Devils. I feel like this line is too high.

Louisville at Connecticut.

7:00 PM ET (Game 717-718)

I have nothing to back this claim up, but teams that rise to No. 1 in the polls often disappoint right away. I guess it's the pressure of being the top dog. The Huskies are a good team that hasn't lost any other their three games by more than six points.

Baylor at Kansas.
Line: Kansas by 10.
9:00 PM ET (Game 719-720)

The Jayhawks might be a bit overrated. They had trouble with Temple at home and then needed a miracle three-pointer to defeat Iowa State, also as a host. Baylor hasn't lost by more than seven all year.

Iowa at Northwestern.
Line: Northwestern by 2.
5:30 PM ET (Game 825-826)

Reasons to like Northwestern today: 1) Iowa is coming off a brutal loss to Michigan State where it left everything on the court. 2) The Hawkeyes have played just two road games this season and have lost both contests by double digits. 3) There's a good amount of action on Iowa, yet the line has gone Northwestern -1 to -2.

Arizona State at Oregon.

9:00 PM ET (Game 831-832)

Here's a weird dynamic change: Oregon was essentially a home underdog a few days ago against undefeated Arizona. It prevailed, but now it's a big favorite. Arizona State is 14-2 (2-0 on the road). The Sun Devils are too good to be a big underdog like this. I like the points.

My college basketball picks are back! I like Nebraska to cover. Twenty-one is just way too many points for a 9-4 team to be getting. I know the Cornhuskers haven't really beaten anyone, but they've still won games. The Buckeyes are great, but they didn't even beat UNC-Asheville by 20-plus.
