NCAA basketball and Best Bets is back with three picks from this weekend’s upcoming slate.

Last Week: 3-3

Overall: 23-22

Check out past editions of this feature:

Week two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten and eleven.

Best Bets got off to a rough start last weekend. Betting losses of Louisville, Kansas and TCU (stupid pick there), left us 1-3 by the mid-afternoon. Thankfully Villanova and Gonzaga came through to get us back to .500 and one game over .500 on the season.

This week Best Bets will look to the ACC, Big 12 and Big Ten with five out of six teams looked at in the Top 25. Each of these games also will have a profound impact on tight conference races throughout the country. Throw in a little money on the line,  and it makes it all the more exciting!

For our first game we head out to Chapel Hill as the Tar Heels face a Virginia team that regroup after consecutive losses. Next, we will head to West Lafayette as Purdue will look to fend off a Michigan State team that has won four out of their last five. Finally, we take a look at the game of the weekend with Kansas traveling to Waco to play the Baylor Bears.

Ready to go? Let’s take a look.
