Be sure to follow all our picks via BetStamp all season long.

UCF Knights at Houston Cougars

This just seems like too many points in a Big 12 conference game. Sure, this game is played in Houston. Sure, the Knights have struggled a little more away from home than they have in home games. Sure, the Houston Cougars are really good. But look for UCF to play a strong game and keep this close. While it balloons a little late, the Knights still cover the spread here. Take UCF on the road.

Betting Pick: UCF Knights +14.5 over Houston Cougars
Final Score Prediction: Houston 71-60 over UCF

Texas A&M Aggies at Alabama Crimson Tide

An SEC battle between the leaders of the conference and a team that cannot seem to find consistency. The Alabama Crimson Tide are a very athletic basketball team. They have all the tools to be great and have a chance to make a run in the big dance. The problem has been that they have struggled to string things together. This is a good game for them to do so. At home, the Crimson Tide beat up on the Aggies. Take Alabama at home here.

Betting Pick: Alabama Crimson Tide -6.5 over Texas A&M Aggies
Final Score Prediction: Alabama 82-71 over Texas A&M

St. Thomas Tommies at South Dakota State Jackrabbits

All season, we have loved the Tommies. They are on the road in this game, and that is going to be a major challenge. But the Tommies are the most talented team in the league, and definitely in this game. While the Jackrabbits put forth a major challenge, the Tommies get the job done and leave town with a victory. Take the Tommies.

Betting Pick: St. Thomas Tommies -1.5 over South Dakota State Jackrabbits
Final Score Prediction: St. Thomas 72-70 over South Dakota State

Oklahoma Sooners at Kentucky Wildcats

The next game of the night, and it is back in the SEC. The Sooners are cooked this season, and there is a good chance Porter Moser will be gone from Norman when the season comes to an end. Mark Pope and his Wildcats picked up a massive win in their last game. Look for them to use some of that momentum and grab a win here. Take the Kentucky Wildcats to win this game by double digits over the Oklahoma Sooners on Wednesday night.

Betting Pick: Kentucky Wildcats -8.5 over Oklahoma Sooners
Final Score Prediction: Kentucky 81-68 over Oklahoma

Iowa Hawkeyes at Washington Huskies

The final game on our slate is out west. It’s a Big Ten battle between the Hawkeyes and the Huskies. Washington looks to make a move toward the bubble for the NCAA Tournament but is going to need to rattle off a bunch of wins in a row. Washington has the potential, and their roster is good enough to win games. Look for them to make a huge step forward with a win at home over the Hawkeyes. Take the Huskies.

Betting Pick: Washington Huskies +1.5 over Iowa Hawkeyes
Final Score Prediction: Washington 74-69 over Iowa
