College Basketball Picks

Duke has been playing better ball as of late especially on the defensive side of the court. Can they get the money as a small home dog against Virginia? Get Dan’s take.

One of the more exciting college basketball games Saturday will be the 1PM ET matchup between the Kentucky Wildcats vs. Tennessee Volunteers. We believe the final score margin won’t be as close as many think! Get Dan’s Ken/Ten pick here!

If you think Virginia is only about defense, then you haven’t watched Virginia play in 2019. Defense remains the calling card for Tony Bennett’s men, but the Wahoos have added a strong, efficient offense to their arsenal this year, which is why Virginia’s offense ranks sixth in the nation despite playing at the slowest pace of any Division I team. Will the scoring prowess propel the Cavs to a 8.5 point cover?

Point guard Ashton Hagans is Kentucky’s leader in assists as well as steals per game. Hagans, a freshman who originally committed to his home-state school Georgia before the Bulldogs fired Mark Fox and hired Tom Crean, leading Hagans to renege on his commitment and instead go to Lexington, will likely be the focus of the Bulldogs crowd. Will the young floor general rise to the occasion or fold under pressure? DJ has your college basketball prediction.

Handicapper Rich Crew believes the total is the way to go in this match. Neither squad is coming off a strong performance in their latest and Rich believes that part of the game will be their main focus tonight. The total line is set at 145.5 on most betting boards making a sub 80 scoring number for the Blue Devils likely a must to cash on the under. Read on to get this capper’s pick versus the total line.
