Virginia vs North Carolina Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today's College Basketball Game
The spread has already ticked down from North Carolina -10.5 to -9.5, and with good reason. Virginia may not win, but they can score enough from distance against UNC's suspect defense to keep this close.

Our college basketball betting picks say you should count on the Villanova Wildcats to race out in front of the Marquette Golden Eagles tonight.

Kansas may not be as good as their preseason ranking indicated, but they shouldn't be catching this many points vs. BYU, as our college basketball betting picks explain.

Duke Blue Devils guard Tyrese Proctor has been highly efficient from downtown, and our expert college basketball predictions expect a big day from long-range against Stanford.

Maryland vs Ohio State Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
While Ohio State is a slim 2.5-point favorite against visiting Maryland, we think the Terrapins should have the advantages needed to get the win.

Virginia will play tightly enough to stay within the lofty spread, likely riding Isaac McKneely's 3-point stroke to keep things relatively competitive with Pittsburgh.
North Carolina vs Duke Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
Duke has trouble covering as double-digit favorites, and our expert college basketball predictions expect those difficulties to continue in its rival game with North Carolina.

Florida vs. Tennesee has 'Game of the Year' potential as the two SEC teams clash early on Saturday. Chris Hatfield believes the hosts will struggle for production against a good Gators defense.
Ohio State vs Penn State Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
Tournament hopes are on the line for Penn State in this make-or-break matchup against Ohio State. After coming off of back-to-back losses, it's time for the Nittany Lions to whip themselves back into shape if they want to make the Big Dance, but will they be able to take care of the Buckeyes?
Texas vs Mississippi Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
It's time for some payback and no better way to snap a losing skid than for Mississippi to right their recent wrongs by taking it out on Chris Beard's former team, the Texas Longhorns. After losing their last three matchups, the Rebels have an agenda in more ways than one.
Iowa State vs Arizona Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
With Caleb Love likely to be locked down by Tamin Lipsey, Jaden Bradley will rise to the fore and splash at least one triple tonight, per Chris Hatfield's college basketball betting picks.

Our expert college basketball predictions expect Georgia to battle hard enough to cover the number at Florida this afternoon.

Eric Dixon draws a much tougher matchup than he did vs. Georgetown last week as Villanova visits Marquette. Look for the Golden Eagles to deny Dixon chances to create shots tonight.

As March inches closer, the SEC matchups continue to roll in as Ole Miss tries to put their last conference loss in the past and keep it moving in winning fashion against the visiting Texas A&M Aggies.
Mississippi State vs Tennessee Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
Chaz Lanier is coming off a rough run, culminating with a missed free-throw that could have been the difference vs. Vanderbilt. He will bounce back tonight against Mississippi State.
