Worst Beat
Kansas vs Colorado Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
It's been a tougher season for Kansas, but there's still time to heat up ahead of the Big 12 tournament. Handling business against a bad Colorado team is a good place to start.
Ohio State vs UCLA Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today’s College Basketball Game
Both Ohio State and UCLA exit a loss last time out, but the Buckeyes' defeat was far more concerning. Heading to hostile Pauley Pavilion will only make things worse vs. the Bruins, per our college basketball betting picks.
Saint Mary’s vs Gonzaga Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
Yonke's prediction: The Gaels can clinch the West Coast conference with a win, but the Bulldogs will do everything they can to avoid elimination on their home floor, resulting in a low-scoring game tonight.
Houston vs Arizona State Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
As the Arizona State Sun Devils try to put an end to their recent losing streak, it won't be an easy assignment against the No. 5 Houston Cougars that have been impressive on the road. Not to mention if Jayden Quaintance misses another contest, it will stack up the challenges for ASU being without their best defender.
Kansas vs Utah Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
San Francisco vs Gonzaga Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
This edition of Gonzaga isn't as much of a powerhouse as we've seen but the Bulldogs are the superior team and should smoke San Francisco, especially as the Dons play much worse away from home.
Penn State vs USC Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
Two teams that love to play offense and hate to play defense facing off against each other might sound like the perfect recipe for an Over... because it is.
Texas Tech vs Arizona Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
The Red Raiders have been hot, and our expert college basketball predictions expect Texas Tech to give Arizona fits tonight.
USC vs Purdue Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
The Purdue Boilermakers have been scoring big, and our expert college basketball predictions expect that trend to continue tonight against USC.
Saint Mary’s vs San Francisco Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
Saint Mary's has been top-notch, but a long string of road games will make it difficult for the Gaels to cover the 6-point spread in San Francisco tonight.
Michigan State vs UCLA Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
Our Michigan State vs. UCLA predictions expect both teams to have a ton of success on offense.
Iowa State vs Kansas Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
Neither Iowa State nor Kansas is at its apex, but both teams can play inspired defense on a nightly basis. The Jayhawks, win or lose, have been an Unders darling all year and the Cyclones will help ensure it hits again.
Nebraska vs Oregon Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
The Oregon Ducks defense has been dismal of late, and the Nebraska Cornhuskers are capable of giving them headaches. That should lead to a high-scoring game in Eugene, per our college basketball betting picks.
Gonzaga vs Saint Mary’s Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
Although the Saint Mary's Gaels have established themselves as a powerhouse, the Gonzaga Bulldogs boast the necessary depth to knock off their WCC rivals tonight.
Oregon vs UCLA Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
UCLA has bounced back from a four-game skid with a four-game winning streak, and our NCAAB picks expect that success to continue against Oregon tonight.
UCLA vs USC Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
While oddsmakers have this UCLA-USC tilt listed as a pick'em, our picks expect this Bruins defense to be the difference.
Houston vs Kansas Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
While the No. 7 Houston Cougars have proven to be a solid squad, they haven't quite proved that they are on the same level as No. 12 Kansas. As the Jayhawks welcome their visitors, it's the home team with the advantage in this Big 12 matchup.
Wisconsin vs UCLA Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight's College Basketball Game
No. 18 Wisconsin seeks to make it eight straight wins as they face UCLA in a Big Ten duel. But the Bruins defense won't allow the Badgers to have their way as they look to protect homecourt.
