Today’s college basketball schedule offers a fresh opportunity to reset. The previous slate did not go as planned, finishing 1-4, which brings the season record to 142-128-4. The goal remains the same: find the right spots, trust the matchups, and stay disciplined over the long season.

As always, be sure to follow all of our picks throughout the year at BetStamp.

Creighton Blue Jays at Seton Hall Pirates

The Big East remains one of the most competitive conferences in the country, and this matchup reflects that reality. Seton Hall enters as a small home favorite in a spot that sets up well for the Pirates.

Creighton has been inconsistent away from home, while Seton Hall has shown the ability to control pace and execute late in games. Expect the Pirates to take advantage of their home floor and close this one out by a couple of possessions.

Betting Pick: Seton Hall Pirates -3.5 over Creighton Blue Jays
Final Score Prediction: Seton Hall 80, Creighton 76

Denver Pioneers at St. Thomas Tommies

St. Thomas continues to be one of the more overlooked teams in the country. The Tommies are pushing for another quality win and have been playing with confidence on both ends of the floor.

Denver enters with an even record and faces a difficult road test. St. Thomas’ offensive balance should allow them to pull away in the second half and cover the number.

Betting Pick: St. Thomas Tommies -10 over Denver Pioneers
Final Score Prediction: St. Thomas 88, Denver 68

Jacksonville State Gamecocks at Liberty Flames

Liberty has been a dependable team to back all season, particularly at home. The Flames are disciplined offensively and consistently strong on the defensive end.

With reliable guard play and the ability to stretch the floor, Liberty should gradually build separation against Jacksonville State and finish with a comfortable margin.

Betting Pick: Liberty Flames -10.5 over Jacksonville State Gamecocks
Final Score Prediction: Liberty 70, Jacksonville State 58

Southern Illinois Salukis at Belmont Bruins

This Missouri Valley Conference matchup favors Belmont, especially on its home floor. The Bruins are coming off a solid performance and remain one of the more consistent home teams in the league.

Southern Illinois has shown improvement after a slow start, but Belmont’s tempo and shot-making should be enough to secure both a win and a cover.

Betting Pick: Belmont Bruins -6.5 over Southern Illinois Salukis
Final Score Prediction: Belmont 80, Southern Illinois 70

Seattle Redhawks at Saint Mary’s Gaels

Seattle showed its potential in a near road upset earlier in the week and now faces another tough challenge against Saint Mary’s. The Redhawks are capable of staying competitive.

Saint Mary’s defensive structure and discipline should ultimately decide the game, but Seattle has enough to keep this within the number.

Betting Pick: Seattle Redhawks +11 over Saint Mary’s Gaels
Final Score Prediction: Saint Mary’s 66, Seattle 60
