Ohio Looks to Keep It Close in Louisville
Ohio is not a bad basketball team, and they should not be a 30-point underdog. Louisville is one of the best teams in the country, but the Bobcats have enough talent to stay competitive even at the KFC Yum! Center. The number is simply too big to ignore.
Betting Pick: Ohio Bobcats +30.5 over Louisville
Final Score Prediction: Louisville 88-62 over Ohio
Butler's Fast Start Meets SMU’s Grind-It-Out Approach
The Bulldogs have come out firing on offense, but one of those explosive outings came against IU Indy, the fastest pace team in the nation. SMU prefers a much slower tempo, and their style should dictate the game. Expect a controlled matchup, not a track meet.
Betting Pick: Butler Bulldogs and SMU Mustangs UNDER 170
Final Score Prediction: SMU 84-75 over Butler
Kansas Should Cruise Past Rebuilding Princeton
Princeton was strong last season, but losing their top three scorers has taken a clear toll early on. They may improve as the year goes on, but walking into Allen Fieldhouse this early is a rough assignment. Kansas should be in control from start to finish.
Betting Pick: Kansas Jayhawks -23.5 over Princeton
Final Score Prediction: Kansas 82-60 over Princeton
UConn and BYU Set Up a Defensive Battle
This is one of the best games of the day, with both teams shaping up as national contenders. BYU is likely missing a key scorer, and Dan Hurley knows his team must impose its defense in big matchups. Expect high intensity and fewer points than projected.
Betting Pick: BYU Cougars and UConn Huskies UNDER 154.5
Final Score Prediction: UConn 72-62 over BYU
Oklahoma and Nebraska Meet in a Low-Scoring Grinder
The matchup at the Pentagon eliminates home court advantage. Porter Moser understands the pressure his team is under, and Oklahoma needs this kind of game on its résumé. Nebraska has been playing at their slowest pace under Fred Hoiberg. Defense should take over in a tight, physical contest.
Betting Pick: Oklahoma Sooners and Nebraska Cornhuskers UNDER 154.5
Final Score Prediction: Nebraska 74-72 over Oklahoma
