UConn Huskies at Butler Bulldogs

A Big East showdown in Indianapolis features a motivated UConn team hitting the road. The Huskies are 22-2 on the season and coming off a loss in New York City, which should have their attention fully locked in. UConn remains near the top of the Big East standings and has responded well to adversity all season.

Butler has been inconsistent, sitting at 13-11 overall and dropping seven of its last 10 games. With UConn coming off a loss, expect a focused and physical performance from the Huskies.

Betting Pick: UConn Huskies -10.5 over Butler Bulldogs
Final Score Prediction: UConn 76, Butler 65

Providence Friars at Seton Hall Pirates

Providence has struggled for much of the season and enters this matchup at 11-13 overall. The Friars have shown some recent life, however, riding a two-game winning streak into Newark.

Seton Hall has dropped its last two games but won the first meeting between these teams by seven points. Playing at home should be the difference once again in a game that looks similar to the first matchup.

Betting Pick: Seton Hall Pirates -4 over Providence Friars
Final Score Prediction: Seton Hall 77, Providence 71

Colorado Buffaloes at Texas Tech Red Raiders

Another Big 12 battle takes place in Lubbock, where Texas Tech has been dominant. Colorado comes in at 14-10 and off a win, but the road has been a major issue. The Buffaloes are just 1-5 away from home this season.

Texas Tech is coming off a win and continues to play its best basketball at home. This sets up as a difficult spot for Colorado against a physical Red Raiders team.

Betting Pick: Texas Tech Red Raiders -14.5 over Colorado Buffaloes
Final Score Prediction: Texas Tech 88, Colorado 70

Liberty Flames at New Mexico State Aggies

Liberty continues to roll, riding a 14-game winning streak and sitting at 20-3 overall. The Flames are 7-1 on the road and have clearly separated themselves as the class of the conference.

These teams met nearly a month ago, with Liberty winning by two. This rematch takes place at the Pan American Center in Las Cruces, but the talent edge still favors the Flames.

Betting Pick: Liberty Flames -3.5 over New Mexico State Aggies
Final Score Prediction: Liberty 80, New Mexico State 70

Michigan Wolverines at Northwestern Wildcats

Michigan enters Evanston as the top team in the Big Ten, sitting at 22-1 overall. This is the first meeting between the two programs this season, and Northwestern should be ready for the challenge on its home floor.

Expect the Wildcats to compete and keep things interesting, especially with the game airing on Big Ten Network. Michigan’s talent ultimately prevails, but Northwestern does enough to stay within the number.

Betting Pick: Northwestern Wildcats +15.5 over Michigan Wolverines
Final Score Prediction: Michigan 82, Northwestern 72
