Saturday brings a massive slate of college basketball games as the regular season winds down and teams prepare for conference tournaments. Let’s try to stack some wins. Be sure to follow all our picks at BetStamp.
UConn Huskies at Marquette Golden Eagles
Dan Hurley and the Huskies are getting ready for the Big East Tournament and another run at the Big Dance. Do not be surprised if UConn starts a little slow before eventually taking control of this game. The Huskies have too much depth and offensive firepower, and they should be able to separate in the second half. Look for UConn to finish the regular season strong with a double-digit win.
Betting Pick: UConn Huskies -8.5 over Marquette Golden Eagles
Final Score Prediction: UConn 80-70 over Marquette
Arizona State Sun Devils at Iowa State Cyclones
This Big 12 matchup comes with Arizona State riding momentum after a big home win over Kansas. The Sun Devils have shown they can be a thorn in the side of some of the league’s top teams. While Ames is never an easy place to play, Arizona State should compete throughout. Iowa State likely gets the win at home, but the Sun Devils keep it within the number.
Betting Pick: Arizona State Sun Devils +15.5 over Iowa State Cyclones
Final Score Prediction: Iowa State 79-72 over Arizona State
Vanderbilt Commodores at Tennessee Volunteers
An SEC showdown between the Commodores and the Volunteers carries plenty of seeding implications for both the conference tournament and the NCAA Tournament. Both teams are comfortably in the field, but another quality win would help their resume heading into March. Tennessee’s athleticism and ability to make big shots at home should be the difference.
Betting Pick: Tennessee Volunteers -3.5 over Vanderbilt Commodores
Final Score Prediction: Tennessee 77-71 over Vanderbilt
Florida Gators at Kentucky Wildcats
Another big SEC battle takes place in Lexington. Rupp Arena should be electric as Kentucky looks to finish the regular season with a statement win before the SEC Tournament begins. Florida is one of the best teams in the country, but a tough road environment could give the Wildcats the edge. Look for Kentucky to ride the crowd and momentum to an upset win.
Betting Pick: Kentucky Wildcats +6.5 over Florida Gators
Final Score Prediction: Kentucky 80-77 over Florida
North Carolina Tar Heels at Duke Blue Devils
The spread feels a bit inflated for one of the sport’s biggest rivalries. Yes, Duke is elite this season. Yes, North Carolina is dealing with injuries. But rivalry games rarely follow the script, and the Tar Heels will not lack motivation in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Even if Duke controls the game, North Carolina should play with enough pride to keep things within the number.
Betting Pick: North Carolina Tar Heels +18 over Duke Blue Devils
Final Score Prediction: Duke 80-64 over North Carolina
Good luck and enjoy the games.
