NCAA Basketball: Game Picks for Day 4 of the 2023-24 season
By Bryan Mauro
As the season moves into its first Thursday there have already been some incredible moments. There has been an upset every night of the year. The games start to ramp up as the first week heads into the weekend. Which small conference will get a win today?
Even with a night of games that didn’t move the needle much there was still a significant upset. Southern University out of the SWAC beat UNLV from the Mountain West handily. That game took place in Vegas which makes the result even more surprising. I did have some higher hopes for the Runnin’ Rebels this season. That loss is going to sting come March. Outside of that game the rest of the night went as expected, with the favorites winning the games.
Yesterday in my picks I went 10-2 which gives me a three day total of 117-21 overall. The Thursday slate is light and there are a lot of buy games on the schedule. Three ranked teams are in action and one of those teams is going to be on alert. There has been an upset everyday so far, so who will it be today? The picks for day 4 straight up winners on November 9th, 2023 are below.
UC Davis over Pepperdine
Michigan State over Southern Indiana
